Download or read book The Bookseller s Bathtub written by Elias Sassoon and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short stories or character studies? Fiction or non-fiction? This collection of pieces is a combination of all these elements. It does not pretend to tell the classic tale of romance or mystery. It does not provide a twist ending. It does not seek to entertain and provide moments of escapism for a reader burdened by a world that is burdensome. The stories simply attempt to look at the inner workings of ordinary individuals to show that human beings are complex organisms that each carry converging ideas and emotions and different storylines buried deep inside themselves. The themes presented in this way include: happiness and sadness, depression, repression, paranoia, insanity, ruthlessness, shame, pity, intelligence, domination, even social justice and injustice. Look closely at the person who sits beside you at the dinner table or on the train or at the job and what you will find are twisted tales that largely go unspoken. That is what this book of four character stories hopefully uncovers, the individual stories beneath the exterior expression that reveals little. In the end, we can understand the complexities of ourselves in relation to one another and the world about us.

Book excerpt: The Life and Times of Sir Reginald Tubb answers the age-old question: Can a bathtub of noble birth find happiness in a forest populated mainly by nice but not-very-bright bears? At last, a story celebrating that unsung hero of family life, the bathtub! This noble fixture magically comes to life as the central character in this tale set in the topsy-turvy world of the Forest Green. A surprise has been discovered in the forest by a family of bears. They take the wondrous tub-like object home to their lair, but what is it? No one in the forest has a clue but everyone has a firm opinion (not unlike some humans we know). Will Sir Reginald Tubb remain unfulfilled? When misfortune intervenes, will he survive or perish? Or will he be abandoned once again? And what lesson can the reader learn from all this? We're not telling. Told in cleverly rhymed verse and delightful illustrations in a dreamlike watercolour-effect palette, this fanciful tale will appeal to young readers, preschoolers, and the parents and grandparents who read to them. "A must-read for bears and little animals of all ages!" says the Forest Green Gazette.

Download or read book A Tale of a Tub written by Jonathan Swift and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Johnson, who did not like Swift, said that A Tale of a Tub «exhibits a vehemence and rapidity of mind, a copiousness of images, and vivacity of diction such as he afterwards never possessed or never exerted.» And in his old age «looking over the Tale, » Swift called out to Mrs. Whiteway, «Good God! What a genius I had when I wrote that book!» Harold Bloom says that A Tale of a Tub «is one of the handful of totally original works in the language.» This new edition presents the work as «an amazing comic book» which puts it in a class with Rabelais' Pantagruel. Both of these works became banned books, greatly increasing the sales. In this edition for the first time the Narrator of the text is discovered to be an authentic comic-pathetic character, with cropped ears, ill-cured syphilis, and suicidal impulses, waiting to be admitted to Bedlam, the new insane asylum, as a terminal patient. This edition is also the first to recognize that the text of A Tale of a Tub is a mosaic, composed of quotations from other texts, which incidentally accounts for the necessity of many end notes.
