Описание: Meredith M. Hale presents the first chapter in the history of modern political satire, one that is critical to the media`s emergence as the `fourth estate`. Discussing themes relevant today, the study locates Dutch printmaker Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708) at the birth of modern political satire, and political satire at the heart of the modern media.
Описание: Winner of the 2016 Religious Communication Association Book of the Year Award
In God Mocks, Terry Lindvall ventures into the muddy and dangerous realm of religious satire, chronicling its evolution from the biblical wit and humor of the Hebrew prophets through the Roman Era and the Middle Ages all the way up to the present. He takes the reader on a journey through the work of Chaucer and his Canterbury Tales, Cervantes, Jonathan Swift, and Mark Twain, and ending with the mediated entertainment of modern wags like Stephen Colbert. Lindvall finds that there is a method to the madness of these mockers: true satire, he argues, is at its heart moral outrage expressed in laughter. But there are remarkable differences in how these religious satirists express their outrage.The changing costumes of religious satirists fit their times. The earthy coarse language of Martin Luther and Sir Thomas More during the carnival spirit of the late medieval period was refined with the enlightened wit of Alexander Pope. The sacrilege of Monty Python does not translate well to the ironic voices of Soren Kierkegaard. The religious satirist does not even need to be part of the community of faith. All he needs is an eye and ear for the folly and chicanery of religious poseurs. To follow the paths of the satirist, writes Lindvall, is to encounter the odd and peculiar treasures who are God's mouthpieces. In God Mocks, he offers an engaging look at their religious use of humor toward moral ends.

Описание: With an infectious blend of humor, satire, and biting social commentary, Yassin Adnan gives readers a portrait of contemporary Morocco - and the city of Marrakech - told through the eyes of the hapless Rahhal La?ouina, a.k.a. the Squirrel. Painfully shy, not that bright, and not all that popular, Rahhal somehow imagines himself a hero. With a useless degree in ancient Arabic poetry, he finds his calling in the online world, where he discovers email, YouTube, Facebook, and the news site Hot Maroc. Enamored of the internet and the thrill of anonymity it allows, Rahhal opens the Atlas Cubs Cyber Caf?, where patrons mingle virtually with politicians, journalists, hackers, and trolls. However, Rahhal soon finds himself mired in the dark side of the online world - one of corruption, scandal, and deception.Longlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction in 2017, Hot Maroc is a vital portrait of the challenges Moroccans, young and old, face today. Where press freedoms are tightly controlled by government authorities, where the police spy on, intimidate, and detain citizens with impunity, and where adherence to traditional cultural icons both anchors and stifles creative production, the online world provides an alternative for the young and voiceless. In this revolutionary novel that recalls Junot D?az's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and Dave Eggers's The Circle, Adnan fixes his lens on young Rahhal and his contemporaries as they navigate the perilous and changing landscape of the real and virtual worlds they inhabit.

Описание: In this first comprehensive reading of Juvenal`s satires in more than fifty years, David H.J. Larmour deftly revises and sharpens our understanding of the second-century Roman writer who stands as the archetype for all later practitioners of the satirist`s art.
Описание: Offers the first comprehensive examination of Lucretius` engagement with satire. The author argues that what has often been understood as an artfully persuasive exposition of Epicurean philosophy designed to convert the uninitiated is actually a mimesis of the narrator`s attempt to effect such a conversion on his internal narrative audience.

About the Author
As a physician, educator, and scientist, Hugh Dorman has spent many years trying to heal the sick, train residents and medical students, and promote improved patient care through research. He has always believed that living with gratitude and hope is a gift, providing an inside track to happiness. Family to Dorman is of utmost importance: it is a source of help and support that will smooth the bumps in the road. His experience suggests that altruistic deeds benefit the giver more than the recipient and true charity is best provided anonymously. Moreover, it has become obvious to him that forgiveness and tolerance are essential to calm the soul and feed the spirit. Dorman trusts in God's plan and knows that life unfolds the way it is supposed to. He would not know joy without tragedy, feel love without loving, and appreciate success without failure.
Dorman has made more than his share of mistakes, which have served to educate and provide a guide for an improved way of life in a meaningful way and has come to understand that everyone has something valuable to offer, if only he took the time to listen. Finally, introspection of his life has taught him that the simple act of acceptance can result in an outlook on daily life that is less frustrating and more enjoyable.

Описание: Lacking most today is humor, not shortages of food, water, or housing. This may be the result of some global vitamin deficiency, or more likely, political correctness spreading much as an unstoppable virus or plague released from Pandora`s jar, which has now morphed into so-called safe spaces. Humorous satire covers topics not covered by others.
