Author: Pi-ching Hsu
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900429323X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
The Treasury of Laughs is a treasure house for students of literature, psycholinguistics, history, sociology, and cultural anthropology. Feng Menglong systematically collected and edited 700-odd humourous skits that presented the entire spectrum of traditional Chinese jokes, and wrote commentaries of great philosophical insight. The anthology offers satirical caricatures of human follies from the cradle to the grave and reveals tension in all sectors of human societies and institutions. Hsu Pi-ching reconstructs the complete Ming Chinese original with meticulous editorial work, in modern punctuated typesetting, and provides the only complete English translation available, with useful footnotes on word plays, literary allusions, and historical background. Readers should find the introductory essays on the connections between humour and emotions/states of mind particularly illuminating.

Bandit’s Trail
Author: Max Brand
Publisher: Blackstone Publishing
ISBN: 1470861283
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Don Sebastian Valdivia and his secretary, Juan Carreño, attend a horse auction at the Garrison Ranch, where an outlaw stallion, Twilight, is held back until last. The only man who can ride this magnificent beast is Charles Dupont, known as the Crisco Kid, who has bonded with the horse since he was a colt. Because gunman Bud Carew despises the Kid, he desperately wants to possess Twilight. Those attending the auction know that no matter who wins, a gunfight is sure to follow. Just as it appears that Carew has won, Valdivia places his bid for $800. He is not bidding for a horse, but for a man. In a calculated move, Valdivia plays the Kid against Carew, and the Kid proves to be the better man. Valdivia offers Twilight to the Kid with two options—keep Twilight and remain in the Southwest, or accept employment with the don and accompany him back to his grand rancho in the Argentine, where Valdivia has a score to settle with the outlaw El Tigre. Even without the gift of Twilight, the Kid would be willing to make the effort. With Twilight, he does not imagine there is any way he could possibly fail.

Pages : 277
Book Description
The Bandit’s of Bandarson is the fifth book of The Valley Series. In previous works, you have learned of the trials that all of rightful magic have been forced to face. In the last book, The Dark War, you learned of the pains that all must endure, when they fight for what is right. The cost in lives had been high in The Dark War, and the mourning for those lost, went on for years. The new Overseer of the Realm, Namson, and his wife, Glornina, lead them through these pains, and the feeling of peace, and happiness, had returned to all of the domains. In this work, The Bandit’s of Bandarson, you will learn the truth that evil, in different form, will again find its way into the worlds of magic. The evil of greed, and uncaring, that so many have faced before. The evil of those who would steal what they have not earned, and the dangers they place on others with their avarice. You will find that again, the ones of Rightful Magic, will learn of a threat, and they will face it, not without fear, but with a strength that evil must bow to. Here you will learn of the strength of one young woman, named Isabella, who battles her captors with a determination, few can know. That with the help of those who care for what is right, in their own way, win the simplest, yet the greatest of victories. The value of her own worth, and the strength of her love, for Melsikan. Come journey with her, as she faces her trials.
