Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fancies Versus Fads There is indeed nothing very extraordinary about these visions, except the extraordinary people who have provoked some of them. They are only a very sketchy sort of sketches of some of the strange things that may be found in the modern world. But however inadequate be the example, it is none the less true that this is the sound principle behind much better examples and that, in those great things as in these small ones, sanity was the condition of satire. It is because Gulliver is a man of moderate stature that he can stray into the land of the giants and the land of the pygmies. It is Swift and not the professors of Laputa who sees the real romance of getting sunbeams out of cucumbers. It would be less than exact to call Swift a sunbeam in the house but if he did not himself get much sunshine out of cucumbers, at least he let daylight into professors. It was not the mad Swift but the sane Swift who made that story so wild. The truth is more self evident in men who were more sane. It is the good sense of Rabelais that makes him seem to grin like a gargoyle and it is in a sense because Dickens was a Philistine that he saw the land so full of strange gods. These idle journalistic jottings have nothing in common with such standards of real literature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The whole history of the thing called rhyme can be found between those two things: the simple pleasure of rhyming "diddle" to "fiddle," and the more sophisticated pleasure of rhyming "diddle" to "idyll." Now the fatal mistake about poetry, and more than half of the fatal mistake about humanity, consists in forgetting that we should have the first kind of pleasure as well as the second. It might be said that we should have the first pleasure as the basis of the second; or yet more truly, the first pleasure inside the second. The fatal metaphor of progress, which means leaving things behind us, has utterly obscured the real idea of growth, which means leaving things inside us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fancies Fashions and Fads Millionaires were not allowed to ride rough-shod over others by reason of their wealth; indeed, many of them were merely tolerated, like Louis Quatorze - a nickname conferred upon a certain rich alien, whose Christian name was Louis, because he was never asked to dinner except when an extra guest was required to prevent the party being thirteen. To-day, at least among that ridiculous section known as the Smart Set, millionaires of no matter what race are indisputably lords paramount by right of superabundant cash. The days indeed have gone when any attempt at arrogance on the part of men or women of Semitic extraction was sternly and promptly repressed.

Book excerpt: THIS morning, for a long stretch of hours before breakfast, and even as it were merging intobreakfast, and almost overlapping breakfast, I was engaged in scientific researches in the great newdepartment of psycho-analysis. Every journalist knows by this time that psycho-analysis largelydepends on the study of dreams. But in order to study our dreams it is necessary to dream; and inorder to dream it is necessary to sleep. So, while others threw away the golden hours in lighter andless learned occupations, while ignorant and superstitious peasants were already digging in theirignorant and superstitious kitchen-gardens, to produce their ignorant and superstitious beans andpotatoes, while priests were performing their pious mummeries and poets composing lyrics onlistening to the skylark-I myself was pioneering hundreds of years ahead of this benighted century;ruthlessly and progressively probing into all the various horrible nightmares, from which a happierfuture will take its oracles and its commandments. I will not describe my dreams in detail; I am notquite so ruthless a psychologist as all that. And indeed it strikes me as possible that the newpsychologist will be rather a bore at breakfast. My dream was something about wandering in somesort of catacombs under the Albert Hall, and it involved eating jumbles (a brown flexible cake nowalmost gone from us, like so many glories of England) and also arguing with a Theosophist. I cannotfit this in very well with Freud and his theory of suppressed impulses. For I swear I never in my lifesuppressed the impulse to eat a jumble or to argue with a Theosophist. And as for wandering aboutin the Albert Hall, nobody could ever have had an impulse to do that.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fads by nature and by definition are hard to capture, yet Hoffmann and Bailey have captured over one hundred of the passing fashion fancies and merchandising miracles during America’s short history in their latest collection of fads, Fashion & Merchandising Fads. Life devoid of fads is impossible to imagine, and the fads that do enter our lives become vehicles for amusement upon retrospection. How long any fad stays in vogue is anybody’s guess, but Hoffmann and Bailey have again found those fads that somehow took root and flourished, if only for a short period of time, in America. Concise entries describe each fad from its beginning to its demise and its devout followers. Readers are sure to recognize many of the trends and fads collected in Fashion & Merchandising Fads. A browse through the contents will have readers smiling as they remember Alex, Stroh’s Beer-Drinking Dog and “Baby On Board” Stickers Barbie Dolls and Celebrity Perfumes Convertibles, Digital Watches, and Drive-In Banking Garfield, G. I. Joe, and Handbags for Men Knickers and Matchbox Cars The Model T and the Mustang Paper Dolls and Rubik’s Cube Silly Putty, the Slinky, and Synthetics in Clothes Top Hats, the Trilby, and Twiggy VCRs, Yuppies, and Zubaz Each fad featured in Fashion & Merchandising Fads is examined thoroughly and concisely by the authors. They look at the historical setting, how the trend became popular, and the people most fascinated and involved with the trend. References follow each entry to make further reading on each fad a relatively easy task for those intrigued by fads. As fads enter and encompass society for a period of time, this collection of fads, arranged alphabetically, is sure to captivate readers from beginning to end, or, in a world of fads, from the A-2 Flight Jacket to the Zipper.
