Beschreibung

In "Cobb's Anatomy," Irvin S. Cobb employs his characteristic wit and keen observational skills to explore the human form through a series of humorous essays and anecdotes. This collection reveals Cobb's ability to blend satire with earnest reflection, portraying both the absurdities and the profundities of human anatomy and experience. Rich in a vernacular that captures early 20th-century American culture, Cobb invites readers to engage with the complexities of the body, while also reflecting on broader societal norms and attitudes toward health and physicality. Irvin S. Cobb, an influential American author and humorist, drew upon his extensive background in journalism and theatre while crafting this book. His lifelong fascination with human nature, paired with his experiences in vaudeville, allowed him to master the art of comedic storytelling. Cobb's literary contributions often juxtaposed humor with serious commentary, making his work a significant addition to the broader context of American literature during the early 1900s, marked by a shift towards more personal and subjective narratives. Readers seeking a blend of humor, insight, and a candid look into the struggles and triumphs of the human condition will find "Cobb's Anatomy" a delightful and thought-provoking read, perfectly suited for those who appreciate the lighter side of life while contemplating its deeper truths.

Instead, tumbledown buildings, a shortage of plumbers, and resentful locals make Brian’s drunken whim look like the biggest mistake of his chequered career so far.  
 
Who could believe that an outbreak of swearing would lead not only to cultural reconciliation but to this very Australian fish out of water finding true love in Italy? 
 
 ‘A raw and comedic romp into the heart of Italy. It’s Eat, Pray, Love, Swear – an unfiltered story of finding yourself for one euro.’ MICHELLE JOHNSTON
