Beschreibung

In "The Comic History of Rome," Gilbert Abbott À Beckett employs a satirical lens to explore the rich tapestry of Roman history, blending humor with historical narrative. The book, structured as a playful commentary, employs puns, caricatures, and witty illustrations to make the complexities of Roman society accessible and entertaining. À Beckett's literary style is characterized by its light-hearted prose and sharp wit, which seeks to demystify political and cultural events from the founding of Rome to the decline of the Empire, all while engaging readers with a delightful interplay of fact and jest. Gilbert Abbott À Beckett, a noted figure in 19th-century English literature, was influenced by the burgeoning interest in historical satire during his time. His training in law and a penchant for theatricality provided a unique backdrop for his authorship, leading him to create a work that critiques and celebrates Roman history through the lens of humor. À Beckett's background not only shaped his narrative style but also underscored the importance of satire as a tool for reflection on societal norms. Readers seeking an engaging and humorous perspective on one of history's most fascinating civilizations will find "The Comic History of Rome" to be an invaluable treasure. À Beckett's masterful blend of history and comedy invites readers to laugh while learning, making it a recommended addition to any literary collection.

    An accessible yet erudite deep dive into how platforms are remaking experiences of death 
     
     
      
    Since the internet's earliest days, people have died and mourned online. In quiet corners of past iterations of the web, the dead linger. But attempts at preserving the data of the dead are often ill-fated, for websites and devices decay and die, just as people do. Death disrupts technologists' plans for platforms. It reveals how digital production is always collaborative, undermining the entrepreneurial platform economy and highlighting the flaws of techno-solutionism. 
     
     
      
    Big Tech has authority not only over people's lives but over their experiences of death as well. Ordinary users and workers, though, advocate for changes to tech companies' policies around death. Drawing on internet histories along with interviews with founders of digital afterlife startups, caretakers of illness blogs, and transhumanist tinkerers, the technology scholar Tamara Kneese takes listeners on a vibrant tour of the ways that platforms and people work together to care for digital remains. What happens when commercial platforms encounter the messiness of mortality?

    The wartime double agent with a transmitter in his cell to contact suffragettes; the doctor hanged as he smiled to the farewells of lovers on the scaffold; the con who defied a gangland godfather and escaped the bromide in the prison tea; aristocrats and arsonists...The screws who guard Britain's prisons have seen them all. Stir! is the story of six of the country's most notorious jails - Durham, Wandsworth, Pentonville, Wormwood Scrubs, Dartmoor and Holloway - and of the men and women who entered their gates, sometimes stood on their scaffolds and occasionally vanished before their time. The book looks at early punishments, life on hell ships transporting convicts to far-off continents, the growth of prison populations, inmates sentenced to waste away on treadmills, the underworld giant who was birched, children starved and beaten for stealing, and even women forced to eat. Also investigated are the lives and thoughts of scores of inmates, from Oscar Wilde to Oswald Mosley; from Dr Crippen to Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged; from underworld legend Frankie Fraser to a Rolling Stone; and even the man who shot Martin Luther King, Jr.Just like Ronnie Barker's Porridge series, there are laughs too, as we uncover the man who measured bathwater, the prisoners punished for not wearing a collar and tie, the jail bookie who paid out in bread, and the unlucky brewers. The mix is all there in Stir!
