Download or read book The Book of Laughter and Forgetting written by Milan Kundera and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2023-03-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An absolutely dazzling entertainment. . . . Arousing on every level—political, erotic, intellectual, and above all, humorous." —Newsweek "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting calls itself a novel, although it is part fairy tale, part literary criticism, part political tract, part musicology, and part autobiography. It can call itself whatever it wants to, because the whole is genius." —New York Times Rich in its stories, characters, and imaginative range, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting is the novel that brought Milan Kundera his first big international success in the late 1970s. Like all his work, it is valuable for far more than its historical implications. In seven wonderfully integrated parts, different aspects of human existence are magnified and reduced, reordered and emphasized, newly examined, analyzed, and experienced.

Download or read book Have A Laugh My Friend Stinging with Love Collection of Prem Janmejay Satires written by Prem Janmejay and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. K. Laxman immortalised the common man in his cartoons. Prem Janmejay's protagonist Radhelal is very similar to him. Like the average Indian, he does not understand much about the game of cricket but feels sad when the Indian team loses an international match and cheers up when it emerges victorious. Through him the satirist depicts the absurdity of cricket mania among those who look at the game more as a status symbol than anything else. Through Radhelal, the satirist takes a critical look at many of the things that trouble society, the overpowering effect of social media being one of them. However, Radhelal is not the only protagonist of this selection. Janmejay is careful to retain variety and therefore introduces a number of characters so that the perspective remains varied and the reader moves from one article to another, without complaining of monotony. The author confines his interest to urban topics, his favourites being politics and corruption. The language is simple; humour is conveyed through puns and skilful use of language.
