4.9/5 (25367 ratings)

Description:Mean-spirited and offensive? Absolutely. Uncharitable and slanderous? You bet. But The Little Book of Venom also contains some of the most amusing and drollest wit ever recorded. A unique addition to any humorist's collection, this compilation of history's cruelest insults and put-downs features some of the world's most famous composers, writers, artists, actors, and politicians, including Richard Wagner, William Faulkner, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Thomas Jefferson, James Whistler, Noel Coward, Virginia Woolf, Oscar Wilde, Groucho Marx, Jane Austen, Queen Victoria, Edith Wharton, Nietzsche, and many, many others. From music, art, politics, and philosophy to royalty, religion, love and marriage, nothing is safe from belittlement in this hilariously witty and entertaining volume. On Music "Wagner has beautiful moments but awful quarter hours." - Gioacchino Rossini On Writers "One of the nicest old ladies I ever met." - William Faulkner on Henry James On Love "If you're afraid of loneliness, don't marry." -Anton Checkov On the Stage "A woman whose face looked as if it had been made of sugar and someone had licked it." -George Bernard Shaw on Isadora Duncan On Art "There is one thing on earth more terrible than English music, and that is English painting." -Heinrich Heine On Royalty "Now at least I know where he is." -Queen Alexandra shortly after her husband, Edward VII, had died. On People and Places "Of course, America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up." -Oscar Wilde On Men "The more I see of men, the more I admire dogs." -Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, Marquise de SevigneWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
