Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fireside Saints, Mr. Caudle´s Breakfast Talk: And Other Papers Leigh Hunt, in a little speech at the Museum Club, said that if Jerrold had the "sting of the bee, he had also his honey." In this volume there is, undoubtedly, more honey than sting; though, it must be confessed, there is also plenty of the latter, particularly in "Mr. Caudle´s Breakfast Talk," "Silas Fleshpots," "Michael Lynx," and "The Tutor-Fiend and his Three Pupils" - a story or allegory almost as grim and ghastly as anything in Spenser. But if these papers, and perhaps one or two others, are full of caustic humor and biting wit, keenly and unsparingly exposing "the hypocrisy of life," many of the essays, sketches, and stories in the collection are remarkable for their pleasant satire, and easy, good-natured Rabelaisian philosophy.
