Sinossi

Strange Headlines explores the world of unintentionally humorous newspaper headlines, born from linguistic ambiguity and the pressures of quick news production. It examines how language errors, like misplaced modifiers or ambiguous pronouns, can transform serious news into comedic gold. For example, a poorly worded headline might inadvertently create a double entendre, offering a laugh where none was intended. The book argues that these errors are more than just funny; they're valuable lessons in effective communication.

 
The book progresses by first introducing concepts of linguistic ambiguity and journalistic pressures. Then, it presents real-world examples categorized by error type, drawn from various news sources. This approach offers a unique perspective on how even professionals can fall victim to linguistic pitfalls, highlighting the power and limitations of language in a concise format.

 
Ultimately, Strange Headlines aims to improve reader's communication skills and media literacy through the analysis of humorous journalistic mishaps.

Write Your Why (What Will Follow)

Julia Whelan

An approachable craft talk, written and read by Julia Whelan. Combining her perspectives as a writer, an educator, and a narrator, she breaks down what makes books connect with readers. Using Simon Sinek's seminal TedTalk for the business community, "Knowing Your Why", as a starting point, Julia applies this to the broader craft of storytelling: If you know why you are writing something, your audience will know why they're reading it. So... how does one do that? Originally presented as a keynote speech at Nashville's WriterFest.

Romeo and Juliet

Anonimo

Ромео и Джульетта - бессмертная трагедия Шекспира, призванная напоминать, что человек создан не для вражды и злобы. Из уст Ромео льется песня любви. Сердце Джульетты бьется в унисон этой песне. Наперекор злой судьбе дети враждующих кланов любят друг друга. Сила их любви так велика, что смерть не может разлучить их. Но только их гибель во имя любви способна примирить отцов и восстановить гармонию в мире. Героям Шекспира даже в перебранке не изменяет чувство юмора, с их языка то и дело слетают остроты. Может быть, поэтому они так человечны и близки нам. Проникновенная игра Адама Маскина вовлечет Вас в мир классической английской литературы. Аудиокнига на английском языке.
