Category : Imitation in literature
Languages : en
Pages : 112

Book Description
pistache (pis-tash)- a friendly spoof or parody of another?s work. Deriv uncertain. Possibly a cross between pastiche and p**stake. From Thomas Hardy?s football report to Dan Brown's visit to the cash dispenser, the work of the great and the not-so-great is here sent up with little hope of coming down. Most of these pieces began their life on Radio Four?s The Write Stuff, but have been retooled for the printed page. Others, such as Martin Amis?s first day at Hogwarts, have been written specially for this collection. Philip Larkin?s Lines in Celebration of the Queen Mother?s 115th Birthday, first banned, then cut by the BBC, appears in its entirety for the first time. This is not a book for the faint-hearted or the downstairs lavatory. It is a book for the bedside table of someone you cannot live without.

Book Description
Robinson Crusoe discovers thousands of ‘half-naked savages’ having it large on Ibiza. James Bond is on a mission, as a 24-hour call-out plumber. ‘The young stable lad is a moody fellow,’ say reviewers of Wuthering Heights in The Good Hotel Guide. Hans Christian Andersen gets into the subprime mortgage racket. Stephen King attempts a love story that doesn’t involve buckets of blood. Robbie Burns cheers on Andy Murray at Wimbledon. And Harry Potter is left high and dry when Ginny kicks him out and keeps the house. Re-mixed and re-imagined, this is literature but not as you know it.

Twenty Years After

Twenty Years After PDF Author: Alexandre Dumas
Publisher: Standard Ebooks
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 907

Book Description
Twenty years after Aramis, Athos, Porthos, and d’Artagnan went their separate ways, the new cardinal, Mazarin, asks d’Artagnan to find his three friends and enlist them to help Mazarin during the Fronde civil war. Only Porthos accepts, and the four musketeers soon find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. This cannot, of course, last very long, and they ultimately join forces in England to try to rescue Charles I from Cromwell. Along the way, they are discovered and pursued by the son of Milady, their diabolical female adversary from The Three Musketeers. Though not as well known as the first installment, Twenty Years After continues the wit, charm, friendship, and most of all the adventures that Dumas made famous in The Three Musketeers. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
