Sinopse

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The parallel lives of two of the great masters of British literature: Dickens and Thackeray


Published in book form in 1848, “The Book of Snobs” is a collection of satirical articles by British author William Makepeace Thackeray.
The pieces first appeared successfully in satirical magazine Punch as “The Snobs of England, by One of Themselves,” and are sketches of London characters that display Thackeray’s virtuosity in quick character-drawing.
The pieces, which were immensely popular and thrust Thackeray into widespread public view, were rigorously revised before their collection in book form and omitted the numbers which dealt with then current political issues.
This humorous study begins with the assertion that 'Snobs are to be studied like other objects of Natural Science.'

    Explanation of what off-grid living means Off-grid living is a lifestyle that involves living without the reliance on public utilities such as electricity, water, and gas. Instead, individuals generate their own power using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or hydroelectric energy. They also use alternative sources for heating and cooking, such as wood-burning stoves or geothermal systems. 
    The concept of off-grid living is not new, and has been around for centuries. Before the advent of modern public utilities, people lived off the land, using natural resources to sustain themselves. This involved growing crops and raising livestock for food, collecting rainwater, and using wood or coal for heating and cooking. 
    Today, off-grid living is becoming more popular due to concerns about climate change, rising energy costs, and the desire for a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Off-grid living is also seen as a way to reduce dependence on external resources and to live a more sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle.

    On a whim, armchair-atheist Richard Kelly Kemick joins the 100-plus cast of The Canadian Badlands Passion Play, North America's largest production of its kind and one of the main tourist attractions in Alberta. By the time closing night is over, Kemick has a story to tell. From the controversial choice of casting to the bizarre life in rehearsal, this glorious behind-the-scenes look at one of Canada's strangest theatrical spectacles also confronts the role of religion in contemporary life and the void left by its absence for non-believers. 
    "Kemick's book is that delicious cross between Waiting for Guffman and The Studhorse Man, a rousing personal comedy that dances between the sweat of art and the glue of experience. Nothing like it exists in non-fiction, but don't read it for that reason. Read it because it sticks to your fingers and you can't shake it off." — Dave Bidini 
    "Well-observed and poignant, this is a fascinating look into a largely unknown world." — Michael Coren 
    "Richard Kemick spends a summer in Alberta's Bible Belt where it may be easier to find God than a vegetarian meal. There, he confronts age-old questions about belief with near-miraculous freshness, honesty, and humour. A deeply personal investigation of the blurred border between faith and imagination." — Marcello Di Cintio

His uproarious poems and illustrations encompass Trump's impeachment, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter protests, and much more. Lithgow targets Mitch McConnell, Mike Pompeo, Bill Barr, Jared Kushner, Elaine Chao, and many others, but also includes a few heroes of the moment, including Anthony Fauci, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and even Barack Obama.The book arrives at a time when it's needed most. With all-new poems and never-before-seen line drawings, Lithgow will once again make readers laugh and pause to remember some of the most defining moments in recent history-skewering the reign of King Dumpty one stanza at a time.Digital audio edition read by the author.
