Humpty Dumpty Climbs Again
Author: Dave Horowitz
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525516131
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 21
Book Description
Humpty Dumpty is humiliated. All the King's Horses and All the King's Men make fun of him and his embarrassing fall every chance they get. So Humpty Dumpty holes up in his home, determined to never climb another wall. Until a friend needs his help. In this silly play on traditional nursery rhymes Humpty is given the chance to show that the best thing to do after you fall off the horse (or wall, in this case) is to get right back on. "Illustrated with big, clear, line-and-watercolor cartoons, Horowitz's simple rhyming text is both a parody of nursery rhymes and a fun story. Children will enjoy the puns and the play with the Mother Goose verses that they know." - Booklist

The Spirituality of Comedy
Author: Conrad Hyers
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 1412834988
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
To understand comedy is to understand humanity, for the comic sense is central to what it means to be human. Nearly all the major issues with which human beings have exercised themselves are touched upon in some manner by the comic spirit. Yet education in the art of comedy and in comic appreciation is given little attention in most societies. The Spirituality of Comedy explores the wisdom of comedy and the comic answer to tragedy (in both popular and classical senses of the term). Tragedy is seen as a fundamental problem of human existence, while comedy is its counterweight and resolution. Conrad Hyers has taken a fresh look at comedy from the standpoint of comparative mythology and religion, and thus comedy's spiritual significance. In his unique study of the comic tradition, Hyers explains the difficulty in pinning down themes, structures, plots, or characters that are common to all comedy. Instead he argues that there is an essence of comedy in the area of pattern. He draws upon the rich historical ensemble of types of comic figures: the humorist, comedian, comic hero, rogue, trickster, clown, fool, underdog, and simpleton. He shows how each type incarnates a comic heroism in its own unique manner, offering a profound wisdom and philosophy of life. The approach of this book is broadly interdisciplinary, with materials and interpretations introduced from the various fields of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences as they illuminate both the tragic and comic sensibilities. The methodological thread that draws this all together is an analysis of the major types of comic figures in terms of the myths and legends associated with them, the rituals they produce and enact, and the symbolism of the comic figures themselves. Written in a very readable literary style, The Spirituality of Comedy will appeal to psychologists, social scientists, clergy, philosophers, and students of literature.

Book Description
Ancient man has a very cartoonish, innocent, naive...and almost foolish way of contemplating hell and many of us are finally wise enough to realize where we are. Hell is being given hope and then experience having it being taken away over and over again. Hell is being given love and then watches it go away by every possible creative means under the sun over and over again. Hell is never feeling that you truly belong anywhere, that secret feeling that you have that you doesn’t really belong to this place that you can never get rid of and yet here you are. Hell is living in a world where someone/group/institution/combination/ANYTHING have control over you, you know deep within that you are suppose to be a free agent but in this "place" you are not, you constantly tell yourself this is the way it is but you couldn't really believe it do you... Hell is having the feeling that any time...right about now...something is going to happen and you are going to lose something...everything. The foolish ones wish they could live forever, well I have good news for them, they will, as do all of us. We just don't remember that's all... And on and on it goes... Because the "divine" wishes to live through us...that we may suffer for him that he may experience all that there is to experience...without actually having to be in the shit that we are all in. You may have all the ironically "unconditional love" you ever want from the divine...as long as you continue to do his bidding. You can never die and you can never truly leave...the ONLY REASON you were given the mercy to "get" to forget your past life is so that you are fresh again to experience all that suffering again like it is the first time...everytime... Welcome to Hell. In this book we are going to explore what happened, what led to this.

Why this book is so important to me and why I would love for everyone to read it: When we find the Naked Jesus, we uncover the freedom to put our faith into action; we desire to do something and not just believe something; we stop talking a good game and get dirty playing the game; we are freed from the institutional church structure that desires to define us and stand invited to the table where the Naked Jesus help us discover who we are; we are freed from the garbage it brings to the party; and we no longer swim in the slime of the shallow end of the pool.
