Mad Belletrism

A bright storyteller with boundless imagination, Stephen Leacock wrote numerous sparkling tales featuring bored provincials and representatives of metropolitan bohemia, honest workers, and greedy entrepreneurs as their heroes. Keenly observing the smallest nuances of surrounding reality, Leacock wittily ridiculed human weaknesses and vices and ironicized the everyday routine. He equally brilliantly wrote sparkling parodies of clichéd women's novels, adventure stories, and low-quality detective stories.

This edition includes the author's collections of stories "Literary Blunders", "Mad Belletrism", and "Foolish Compositions".
