Produktbeschreibung
A light, lively wonder for readers who savour a wry smile with their morning tea. Bill Nye And Boomerang invites you into a vintage landscape where animal fables and tales mingle with moral anecdotes humour, and where a meek-eyed mule leads a parade of quaint, affectionate satire. This volume offers more than a humour anthology; it is a compact American literature collection that stretches back to nineteenth century america, yielding a Mark Twain-tinged humour and a clear throughline of humane curiosity. The tales charm with simple plots, genteel wit, and a robust moral sensibility that still feels contemporary in tone and spirit. It is accessible, yet richly textured, inviting casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike to savour Nye's gentle, humane storytelling and the era's air of curiosity and invention. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This edition honours Nye's original voice while preserving the quirks and warmth that make this a true classic in the collection of quaint tales, a cornerstone of early american humour, and a natural companion to other vintage classics in a tasteful, enduring classic american humour collection.
Autorenporträt
Edgar Wilson Nye was an American comedian, journalist, and columnist who published under the pen name Bill Nye. In the late 1800s, Bill Nye became well-known for his clever and amusing writings. He started his career as a journalist, contributing to a number of newspapers. It was a satirical column he founded called "The Boomerang" in the Laramie Boomerang, a daily published in Wyoming, that gave Nye his first break. As a result of this column's success, Nye gained national exposure and gained popularity as a humourist. Nye, who was well-known for his astute and humorous observations on ordinary life, wrote about a wide range of subjects, such as politics, society, and human nature. In addition, he gave funny lectures and lectured across the country, enhancing his standing as a well-liked comedian. As a trailblazer in American humour writing, Edgar Wilson Nye's writings are still valued for their ageless wit and humorous acumen.
