Sinopse

This book is a journey into the world of comedy, exploring its history, its different forms, and its impact on society. From the earliest jesters to the modern stand-up comedians, this book celebrates the art of making people laugh.

Whether you're a fan of slapstick, satire, or sketch comedy, this book has something for everyone. It delves into the creative process of writing and performing comedy, and it examines the different elements that make comedy work. Learn from the masters of comedy, from Charlie Chaplin to Lucille Ball, and from Richard Pryor to Jerry Seinfeld, and discover the secrets of their success.

But this book is more than just a history of comedy. It's also a guide to understanding the role of comedy in our lives. Comedy can be a source of joy, comfort, and inspiration. It can bring people together, break down barriers, and make us laugh at ourselves. In a world that is often full of challenges and darkness, comedy can be a much-needed escape.

This book also explores the power of comedy to make us think. The best comedians are the ones who can make us laugh at ourselves and at the world around us. They can hold up a mirror to society and show us our own foibles and weaknesses. They can make us see the world in a new way.

Comedy can also be a powerful force for change. It can be used to challenge the status quo, to expose injustice, and to promote understanding. Comedians have a long history of using their platform to speak out on important issues, from social justice to political corruption. They can use their humor to raise awareness of important issues and to inspire people to take action.

So whether you're an aspiring comedian or simply a fan of comedy, this book is sure to entertain and inform you. It's a celebration of the art of comedy, and it's a reminder of the power of laughter to change the world.

    A Quiet Evening - The Travels of...

    Collected here, from a period of nearly five decades, are thirty-six of Norman Lewis's best articles. In each, his writing crackles with poker-faced wit and stylistic brilliance. As a witness to his times – the good, the bad and the absurd – he was unmatched, and his instinct for important events, and moments, was infallible. His range here includes Ibizan fishermen, an interview with Castro's executioner, the genocide of the South American indigenous tribes, a paean to Seville and his meeting with a tragic Ernest Hemingway. Lewis told Ian Fleming, who had commissioned him, that the meeting was 'a shattering experience of the kind likely to sabotage ambition'. Fortunately it didn't, and the articles assembled between these covers are compulsive, hilarious, tender and beautifully written, at times deeply upsetting and always unforgettable.
