Sinopse

"A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasee, or a ragoust."
Jonathan Swift's 1729 pamphlet is at once a denunciation of the mistreatment of Ireland's poor and a daringly inventive comic rhapsody. Still shocking in its defiance of good taste and unrivalled in its evisceration of political hypocrisy, this is one of the greatest satires ever written.

    In a world where the news feels heavy, where everything moves too fast, and where smiles are increasingly rare, it's more essential than ever to laugh, to breathe, and to rediscover a bit of lightness. 
    Ten Funny Stories is an auditory journey through ten stops filled with misunderstandings, quirky characters, absurd situations, but also love, tenderness, truth, and nods to our everyday contradictions. This set of tales invites you to laugh, reflect, and shake your head in disbelief at the strange ways life unfolds. 
    Let yourself be surprised by a mischievous fortune teller, an elusive seducer juggling twelve women without raising the slightest suspicion, a presidential election where underhanded tactics outnumber ballots, a woman sincerely seeking love who scrolls through dating profiles with more hope than success, or a trio of false prophets determined to found a church with intentions... not very divine. 
    Each story has what it takes to make you smile during your workout, burst out laughing in the kitchen, or forget your worries during a break. Whether you're alone or surrounded by loved ones, this audiobook is a gentle companion, ready to brighten your moments and sow smiles along your daily path.  
    These stories were born from a desire to laugh at life’s chaos, and to find truth in the ridiculous. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed writing them. 
    In a world that sometimes forgets to smile, it's a light breath that revives hearts and awakens dormant laughter. Because right now, laughter isn't a luxury, it’s a necessity: dive into the unique universe of Ten Funny Stories.
