A sublime ferocious farce.--The New Yorker.Incomparable ... a wonderful slapstick satire on hypocrisy.--New Statesman.One of the great comic novels of the twentieth century.--Anthony Burgess.Meet our memoirist, Augustus Carp, a self-proclaimed good man who relishes every opportunity to condemn the weaknesses of others while excusing his own failings. In this spoof autobiography, the pompous narrator enthusiastically recounts his mundane achievements with unwitting hilarity, making frequent asides to bemoan the sins of lesser mortals. Much of the story's ironic humor derives from his delivery; the more seriously Carp takes himself, the more ridiculous he appears. This riotous fable is supported by a cast of delightfully eccentric and grotesque characters: Abraham Stool, manufacturer of the famous Adult Gripe Water; schoolteacher Mr. Beerthorpe, inevitably known to his charges as Beery; the Rev. Eugene Cake, author of such improving fiction as Gnashers of Teeth; and other memorable personalities. A cult classic and comic gem, the book was originally published anonymously in 1924 and rediscovered decades later, when its author was revealed as a genteel (and discreet) London physician. This edition features the splendidly droll illustrations by Punch artist Marjorie Blood from the original publication.www.doverpublications.com

Ernest Hemingway's second collection of short stories commanded popular and critical attention when it was published in 1927. Hemingway examines men who are estranged from the women in their lives as they navigate situations involving bullfighting, prizefighting, infidelity, divorce, and death. The author uses his hallmark style of precise language with an eye for realism. The collection contains fourteen stories, including "Hills Like White Elephants," "In Another Country," and "The Killers." A member of the expatriate Lost Generation circle, Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) cultivated a larger-than-life image of vigorous masculinity complemented by an intense sensitivity. His writing drew upon his adventures as a big-game hunter, bullfighter, and fisherman as well as his service as an ambulance driver during World War I.
