Sinopse

In "Gaudeamus! Humorous Poems," Joseph Victor von Scheffel presents a vibrant collection of light-hearted verses that blend whimsy with profound insight. Employing a playful yet sophisticated tone, Scheffel draws upon a rich tapestry of literary traditions, from medieval satire to contemporary humor. The poems are characterized by their rhythmic cadence and clever wordplay, inviting readers into a world where joy and mirth reign supreme. Each piece reflects both the social mores and existential musings of 19th-century Europe, highlighting human folly in a manner that is at once entertaining and thought-provoking. Joseph Victor von Scheffel, a renowned figure in 19th-century German literature, wrote extensively across various genres, including poetry, prose, and drama. His keen observations of societal norms and his own experiences in academia and beyond imbued his work with a unique perspective that resonates with readers. The juxtaposition of humor and philosophical inquiry in Scheffel's poetry can be traced back to his education and his personal encounters with the rich cultural landscape of his time. "Gaudeamus! Humorous Poems" is a delightful read for anyone seeking to explore the intersection of humor and literature. Scheffel's keen insights are not mere entertainment; they are reflections of the human condition that will inspire laughter and contemplation alike. This collection is highly recommended for scholars, students, and poetry enthusiasts who appreciate the delicate art of humor intertwined with poignant commentary.

    Every marriage has its own melody… its own beat… its own rhythm. Marriages go through twists, turns, changes, and turnarounds. We are constantly learning what our rhythm is and will be. As a great DJ reads the mood of a crowd, learning when to play more of this or less of that, so do we manage the composition that is our marriage. It’s like the way a song doesn’t start as the finished product we hear on the radio. It often starts as a phrase or line that the artist finds meaning in, and it is developed through time, effort, trial, and error to become a full expression of the artist’s thoughts and emotions. Even after the song is recorded, the artist may not consider it to be finished. Whenever they perform it, they play it differently because they are different. The song evolves as they do. 
    While our song is not yet finished, we wrote this book to share how it has evolved from the beginning until now. The Rhythm of Love: 25 Things that 25 Years of Marriage Taught Us is a peek into our quarter-century together and a bit of the music we’ve made. In it, we reflect on how we reached this point, the successes and stumbles along the way, and the revisions that remain ongoing. So, if you’re a person who enjoys learning and growing through life’s ups and downs, dive in with us. In these pages, you will find out how we’ve learned, grown, and composed our melody… our beat… our rhythm.

    Mooses with Bazookas: And Other Stories Children Should Never Read is a fun collection of stories. It’s exactly like The Count of Monte Cristo apart from the many differences. Our lawyers have instructed us to warn you that reading it may directly cause you to come down with every single disease you are worried about contracting. On the plus side, our nation’s beloved and heroic critics have had their say.“FANTASTIC is not a word that comes to mind.”—Beth Hinkle, author of Elite Prose“ASTOUNDING problems at the sentence level and beyond.”—Dr. Roger Johns, Ph. D.“S. D. SMITH IS in dire need of A GENIUS editor.”—Art Simonson, Inner Ring Magazine“This author had nothing MUCH BETTER to do THAN destroy the language of DICKENS, SHAKESPEARE, AUSTEN!”—Yammy Tork, Good Lit GuildS. D. Smith has been called “America’s aft-most wordsmith” and is the award-losing author of more than ten books and less than thirty-seven books. He is half-man, half-rabbit, and half-mathematician. He lives in West Virginia with his wife and four children, because it would be kinda weird to live with some other family and super weird not to live in West Virginia.

    With an uncommonly astute eye for the absurd details that comprise your average American, Charles Portis brings to life Jimmy Burns, an expatriate American living in Mexico. For a time, Jimmy spent his days unearthing  
    preColumbian artifacts. Now he makes a living doing small trucking jobs and helping out with the occasional missing-person situation—whatever it takes to remain “the very picture of an American idler in Mexico, right down to the grass-green  
    golfing trousers.” But Jimmy’s laid-back lifestyle is being seriously imposed upon by a ninety-pound stalker named Louise, whose particular fascination with Jimmy is a mystery to him. Add to this a sudden wave of hippies led by a murderous excon  
    guru in search of psychic happenings, archaeologists unearthing (illegally) the Mayan tombs, and Louise and her weirdo husband’s quest for UFO landing sites, and Jimmy’s simple south-of-the-border existence is facing clear and present danger.

    This is a book about TRUTH—and all the ways we try to avoid it—from the bestselling author of Humans: A Brief History of How We F*cked It All Up.We live in a “post-truth” world, we’re told. But was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? Or have people been lying, fibbing and just plain bullsh*tting since the beginning of time?Tom Phillips, editor of a leading independent fact-checking organization, deals with this question every day. In Truth, he tells the story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other—and ourselves—about everything from business to politics to plain old geography. Along the way, he chronicles the world’s oldest customer service complaint, the Great Moon Hoax of 1835 and the surprisingly dishonest career of Benjamin Franklin.Sharp, witty and with a clear-eyed view of humanity’s checkered past, Truth reveals why people lie—and how we can cut through the bullsh*t.
