    Paperback (Leopold Classic Library, Aug. 15, 2016)
    About the Book Satire is a genre of literature where vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings in humans and their institutions are held up to ridicule with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into reform. While satire is generally meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is generally constructive social criticism.Also in this Book Poetry is a literary form that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language (e.g. phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre) to enhance the prosaic ostensible meaning, or generate an alternative meaning. Poetry uses numerous devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. Poetry's long history dates back to prehistorical times ehen hunting poetry was created in Africa.And in this Book Drama texts refer to the mode of fiction represented in the performance of a play in a theater, on radio or on television. Drama is viewed as a genre of poetry, with the dramatic mode being contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle's Poetics (335 BC). The term "drama" itself derives from the Greek word meaning "actionโ€. In the English language the word "play" or "game" was a standard term used to describe drama until William Shakespeare's time. The enactment of drama in a theater, performed by actors on a stage before an audience is often combined with music and dance. In opera, the drama is generally sung throughout, whilst in musicals it includes both spoken dialogue and songs.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

  • The Red Cross in France

    Granville Barker

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Jan. 23, 2018)
    Excerpt from The Red Cross in FranceHe arrives at Boulogne, and before he lands he can count sixty-seven Red Cross ambulances packed on the further quay. He is met at the gangway by a man in a Red Cross uniform, who takes him in charge in his badly battered motor, and lands him at the front door of the head quarters of the e.r.c. At that Port. These head quarters are an old French hotel, converted for the purpose, every part of it full of the most incessant activity, and he takes his orders from the Commissioner. They amount substantially to this, that whatever the Red Cross wants in any direction anywhere he is to be ready to do it, or to help to do it, as far as he can.He takes a view of the stores, which contain everything under Heaven that soldiers, sick or wounded, can by any possibility need, from bedsteads to feather dusters, the Red Cross being ready to furnish everything that the War Office cannot be expected to furnish, and can in ten hours, as the author claims, in case of emergency supply to the sufferers what the War Office would take ten weeks to procure.He shows how the Red Cross accepts the services of men who are refused for the regular army for physical or other causes, or because not up to or far beyond the fighting age, and how eagerly and zealously all these perform the parts assigned them. He shows the wonderful work of the Red Cross ambulances, how they start out to meet the ambulance trains arriving from the front, going at breakneck speed over the rough roads, and how they return loaded with sick and wounded.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
