Tall Tales and Wee Stories - Billy Connolly

Coming from Glasgow, it s weird, I don t really tell jokes, like Irish jokes and all that. I tell wee stories. And some of them don t even have punchlines. But you ll get used to it as the night goes on, and on, and on, and on and on... In December 2018, after 50-years of belly-laughs, energy, outrage and enjoyment, Billy Connolly announced his retirement from stand-up comedy. His has been an extraordinary career.When he first started out in the late Sixties, Billy played the banjo in the folk clubs of Glasgow. Between songs, he would improvise a bit, telling anecdotes from the Clyde shipyard where he worked. Soon, the songs became shorter and the monologues longer, and Billy quickly became recognized as one of the most exciting comedians of his generation.Billy s routines always felt spontaneous. He improvised, embellished and digressed as he went along. He brought a beautiful sense of the absurd to his shows as he riffed on holidays, alcohol, the crucifixion, or naked bungee jumping. But Billy s comedy could be laced with anger too. He hated pretentiousness and called out hypocrisy where ever he saw it. Billy had the popular touch. His comedy spanned generations and different social tribes in a way that few others have ever managed.Tall Tales and Wee Stories brings together the very best of Billy s storytelling for the first time and features his most famous routines including, The Last Supper, Jojoba Shampoo, Incontinence Pants and Shouting at Wildebeest. With an introduction and original illustrations by Billy, it is an inspirational, energetic and riotously funny read, and a fitting celebration of one of the finest comedians.

Selected Tales - Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

Once upon a time in mid-winter, when the snowflakes were falling from the sky like down, a queen was sitting and sewing at a window ... The tales gathered by the Grimm brothers are at once familiar, fantastic, homely, and frightening. They seem to belong to no time, or to some distant feudal age of fairytale imagining. Grand palaces, humble cottages, and the forest full of menace are their settings; and they are peopled by kings and princesses, witches and robbers, millers and golden birds, stepmothers and talking frogs.Regarded from their inception both as uncosy nursery stories and as raw material for the folklorist the tales were in fact compositions, collected from literate tellers and shaped into a distinctive kind of literature. This new translation mirrors the apparent artlessness of the Grimms, and fully represents the range of less well-known fables, morality tales, and comic stories as well as the classic tales. It takes the stories back to their roots in German Romanticism and includes variant stories and tales that were deemed unsuitable for children. In her fascinating introduction, Joyce Crick explores their origins, and their literary evolution at the hands of the Grimms. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Billy Connolly a jeho Route 66 - Big Yin na dokonalém americkém silničním výletě - Billy Connolly

Billy Connoly - milovník hudby, motorkář, metla všeho nudného a všedního, snil o cestě po legendární Route 66 od chvíle, kdy poprvé uslyšel Chucka Berryho zpívat tu nejskvělejší rock n rollovou nahrávku všech dob. A nyní dostal svojí šanci - vydává se na své na míru postavené tříkolce hledat skutečnou Ameriku, která ještě stále může být nalezena mimo dálnice tohoto národa. Na cestě po všech z jejích 3 666 kilometrů (2 278 mil) od mrakodrapů Chicaga po Molo v Santa Monice v Kalifornii, Billyho cesta ho vede kolem mnoha základních ikon Spojených států: Gateway Arch v St Louis, Monument Valley a Grand Canyon, a pár pozůstalých jedinečných, neonem osvícených čerpacích stanic a jídelen, které kdysi tuto cestu lemovaly. Ale také mu tato cesta dává příležitost poznat lidi, kteří tuto silnici považují za svůj domov, od Mervina, amišského truhláře, k Robovi, který je tak jako Billy nadšeným příznivcem bendža, a obsesivním sběratelem hudebních nástrojů, k Angelovi, který je jedním z mnoha lidí, kteří jsou odhodlaní udržet ducha Matky Cest naživu. Vtipné, dojímavé a inspirující zároveň, příběhy, které na své cestě sbírá, vyprávějí příběh moderní Ameriky. A možná inspirují pár lidí, aby taky usedli na své motorky. Se svým instinktem pro dobrý příběh, který nemá konkurenci, a s nakažlivým entuziasmem, který ho udělal naším nejpodmanivějším národním pokladem, Billy Connolly je vrcholným průvodcem na vrcholném silničním výletě.

Rambling Man - Billy Connolly

In my fantasy of the Rambling Man who is something of a hobo, walking - or maybe jumping into the car of a moving train - is what he does. He slings his guitar or banjo over his shoulder and strides out along the road to the next town. There he plays a few songs at a local gig and meets a beautiful woman who feeds and shags him. It s a wonderful life, and a million miles better than sitting on your couch watching reality TV.During his lifetime of global adventures, Sir Billy Connolly s genuine curiosity and natural ability to connect with the people he meets on the road has made him a true citizen of the world . A good trip, in my book, should be littered with little detours. Travelling from A to B is all very well, but you risk missing out on so much . . . In RAMBLING MAN, Billy takes us with him on his incredible journeys criss-crossing the world. But this is no conventional travel memoir. From Ireland to India, Australia to the Arctic, we join the Big Yin on an international voyage full of detours, digressions and the most eccentric of characters - all underscored by the chosen soundtrack of the ultimate ramblin man himself.

Billy Budd, Bartleby, and Other Stories - Herman Melville

A new, definitive edition of Herman Melville’s virtuosic short stories—American classics wrought with scorching fury, grim humor, and profound beauty  Though best-known for his epic masterpiece Moby-Dick, Herman Melville also left a body of short stories arguably unmatched in American fiction. In the sorrowful tragedy of Billy Budd, Sailor; the controlled rage of Benito Cereno; and the tantalizing enigma of Bartleby, the Scrivener; Melville reveals himself as a singular storyteller of tremendous range and compelling power. In these stories, Melville cuts to the heart of race, class, capitalism, and globalism in America, deftly navigating political and social issues that resonate as clearly in our time as they did in Melville’s. Also including The Piazza Tales in full, this collection demonstrates why Melville stands not only among the greatest writers of the nineteenth century, but also as one of our greatest contemporaries.  This Penguin Classics edition features the Reading Text of Billy Budd, Sailor, as edited from a genetic study of the manuscript by Harrison Hayford and Merton M. Sealts, Jr., and the authoritative Northwestern-Newberry text of The Piazza Tales.  For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Rambling Man - Billy Connolly

THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING HILARIOUS NEW BOOK FROM THE NATION S FAVOURITE COMEDIAN, BILLY CONNOLLYBeing a Rambling Man was what I always wanted to be, to live the way I damn well pleased. I ve met the weirdest and most wonderful people who walk the Earth, seen the most bizarre and the most fantastic sights - and I ve rarely come across something I couldn t get a laugh at. I don t think I ve ever had a bad trip. Well, apart from in the 1970s, but that s a whole other story . . . When Billy set out from Glasgow as a young man he never looked back. He played his banjo on boats and trains, under trees, and on top of famous monuments. He danced naked in snow, wind and fire. He slept in bus stations, under bridges and on strangers floors. He travelled by foot, bike, ship, plane, sleigh - even piggy-backed - to get to his next destination. Billy has wandered to every corner of the earth and believes that being a Rambling Man is about more than just travelling - it s a state of mind. Rambling Men and Women are free spirits who live on their wits, are interested in people and endlessly curious about the world. They love to play music, make art or tell stories along the way but, above all, they have a longing in their heart for the open road.In his joyful new book, Billy explores this philosophy and how it has shaped him, and he shares hilarious new stories from his lifetime on the road. From riding his trike down America s famous Route 66, building an igloo on an iceberg in the Arctic, playing elephant polo (badly) in Nepal and crashing his motorbike (more than once), to eating witchetty grubs in Australia, being serenaded by a penguin in New Zealand, and swapping secrets in a traditional Sweat Lodge ritual in Canada, Rambling Man is a truly global adventure with the greatest possible travel companion.

Kniha - 400 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Billy Connoly - milovník hudby, motorkář, metla všeho nudného a všedního, snil o cestě po legendární Route 66 od chvíle, kdy poprvé uslyšel Chucka Berryho zpívat tu nejskvělejší rock 'n' rollovou nahrávku všech dob. A nyní dostal svojí šanci - vydává se na své na míru postavené tříkolce hledat skutečnou Ameriku, která ještě stále může být nalezena mimo dálnice tohoto národa. Na cestě po všech z jejích 3 666 kilometrů (2 278 mil) od mrakodrapů Chicaga po Molo v Santa Monice v Kalifornii, Billyho cesta ho vede kolem mnoha základních ikon Spojených států: Gateway Arch v St Louis, Monument Valley a Grand Canyon, a pár pozůstalých jedinečných, neonem osvícených čerpacích stanic a jídelen, které kdysi tuto cestu lemovaly. Ale také mu tato cesta dává příležitost poznat lidi, kteří tuto silnici považují za svůj domov, od Mervina, amišského truhláře, k Robovi, který je tak jako Billy nadšeným příznivcem bendža, a...

The Lady with the Little Dog and Other Stories, 1896-1904 - Chekhov Anton

The Lady with the Little Dog and Other Stories 1896-1904 is an enchanting collection of tales which showcase Anton Chekhov at the height of his power as a writer. This Penguin Classics edition is translated by Ronald Wilks with an introduction by Paul Debreczeny.In the final years of his life, Chekhov produced some of the stories that rank among his masterpieces, and some of the most highly-regarded works in Russian literature. The poignant The Lady with the Little Dog and About Love examine the nature of love outside of marriage - its romantic idealism and the fear of disillusionment. And in stories such as Peasants , The House with the Mezzanine and My Life Chekhov paints a vivid picture of the conditions of the poor and of their powerlessness in the face of exploitation and hardship. With the works collected here, Chekhov moved away from the realism of his earlier tales - developing a broader range of characters and subject matter, while forging the spare minimalist style that would inspire such modern short-story writers as Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner.Ronald Wilks s translation is accompanied by an introduction in which Paul Debreczeny discusses the themes that Chekhov adopted in his mature work. This edition also includes a publishing history and notes for each story, a chronology and further reading.Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was born in Taganrog, a port on the sea of Azov. In 1879 he travelled to Moscow, where he entered the medical faculty of the university, graduating in 1884. During his university years, he supported his family by contributing humorous stories and sketches to magazines. He published his first volume of stories, Motley Tales, in 1886, and a year later his second volume In the Twilight, for which he received the Pushkin Prize. Today his plays, including Uncle Vanya, The Seagull, and The Cherry Orchard are recognised as masterpieces the world over. If you enjoyed The Lady with the Little Dog you might like Leo Tolstoy s The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories, also available in Penguin Classics.

The Steppe and Other Stories, 1887-91 - Chekhov Anton

The Steppe and Other Stories 1887-91 is a collection that reveals Anton Chekhov s evolution from a novice writer to a master of short narrative form. This Penguin Classics edition is translated by Ronald Wilks with an introduction by Donald Rayfield.This collection of Chekhov s finest early writing is headlined by The Steppe , which established his reputation, telling the unforgettable tale of a boy s journey to a new school in Kiev, travelling through majestic landscapes towards an unknown destiny. Gusev depicts an ocean voyage, where the sea takes on a terrifying, primeval power; The Kiss portrays a shy soldier s failed romantic encounter; and in The Duel two men s enmity ends in farce. Haunting and highly atmospheric, all the stories in this volume show a writer emerging from the shadow of his masters - great Russian writers such as Leo Tolstoy, Ivan Turgenev and Nikolai Gogol - and discovering his own voice. They also illustrate Chekhov s genius for evoking the natural world and exploring inner lives.This is the first of three chronological volumes of Chekhov s short stories in Penguin Classics. Ronald Wilks s delicate translation is accompanied by a chronology and explanatory notes. This edition also contains an introduction and annotated bibliography by internationally renowned Chekhov scholar Donald Rayfield.Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was born in Taganrog, a port on the sea of Azov.

Princess Nai and Other Stories - Jamal Saeed

From award-winning author Jamal Saeed comes a collection of stories written in the dark of a Syrian prison. These gripping tales highlight his work as an activist, artist, and author, shedding light on Syria s ongoing humanitarian crisis and the enduring power of hope. Jamal Saeed wrote the stories in this collection during different stages of his life, but most originated while he was a prisoner of conscience in one of the worst prisons in the world. Other stories were composed after the Syrian uprising in 2011. One story - written in 2009 when he was still in Syria - is about a mythical olive tree that the Syrian military would eventually destroy. Canada plays a role too: Two of the stories were rewritten after his family finally escaped Syria and landed in Kingston, Ontario. In these stories, reality and imagination coexist, and again and again the reader arrives at the truth by exploring the imaginary. Most of Saeed s pieces include a poetic scene that enables the reader to engage with various characters fresh dreams (or their scattered and shattered dreams, as the case may be). Love, beauty, despair, hope, the longing for freedom, the search for lost time, and the impact of the past all coexist and vie for supremacy. Here too there is betting on the future (along with mockery of every kind of bet). In the end, these stories open windows to the inner world of the human soul - and it is also true that every one of Saeed s stories is based upon a solid fact.

A Hunger Artist and Other Stories - Franz Kafka

In recent decades, interest in hunger artists has greatly diminished. Kafka published two collections of short stories in his lifetime, A Country Doctor: Little Tales (1919) and A Hunger Artist: Four Stories (1924). Both collections are included in their entirety in this edition, which also contains other, uncollected stories and a selection of posthumously published works that have become part of the Kafka canon.Enigmatic, satirical, often bleakly humorous, these stories approach human experience at a tangent: a singing mouse, an ape, an inquisitive dog, and a paranoid burrowing creature are among the protagonists, as well as the professional starvation artist. A patient seems to be dying from a metaphysical wound; the war-horse of Alexander the Great steps aside from history and adopts a quiet profession as a lawyer. Fictional meditations on art and artists, and a series of aphorisms that come close to expressing Kafka s philosophy of life, further explore themes that recur in his major novels. Newly translated, and with an invaluable introduction and notes, Kafka s short stories are haunting and unforgettable. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
