Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Book of Nonsense is Edward Lear's seminal collection of limericks, first published in 1846, a work that helped fix the form in English literary culture. Its brief poems pair strict rhythmic patterning and circular rhyme with exube…rantly illogical situations: old persons, young ladies, and eccentric figures behave with comic defiance of social expectation. Lear's accompanying drawings intensify the effect, making the book a landmark of Victorian nonsense literature, where verbal precision produces imaginative disorder. Edward Lear was a painter, illustrator, and travel writer whose artistic career began in natural-history drawing and whose life was shaped by illness, itinerancy, and service to aristocratic patrons. His intimacy with children in elite households, especially the family of the Earl of Derby, encouraged performances of comic verse and drawing. Behind the apparent lightness lies a disciplined visual imagination and a sympathy for outsiders, misfits, and solitary figures. This book is warmly recommended to readers interested in children's literature, comic verse, Victorian culture, or the poetics of absurdity. It remains delightful aloud, but also rewards close attention as a sophisticated experiment in rhythm, image, and social play. 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Edward Lear's 'The Book of Nonsense' is a whimsical collection of limericks that celebrates the absurdity and joy found in the world of nonsense poetry. Written in the mid-19th century, the book employs a playful literary style characteriz…ed by its rhythmic cadences and eccentric illustrations, which were pioneering for their time. Each limerick presents a unique character and scenario, often culminating in humorous, unpredictable twists that invite readers to revel in the folly of imagination. This playful exploration of language and silliness not only entertained children but also hinted at deeper truths about human folly and creativity. Lear, primarily known as a poet and painter, emerged from a rich background steeped in the artistic and literary movements of his time. His exposure to the Romantic poets and his personal experiences with illness and solitude influenced his approach to literature. As an illustrator, his understanding of visual art harmoniously informed the imaginative landscapes of his limericks, allowing him to infuse a rich visual dimension into his poetic narratives. Lear's affinity for the delightful and the nonsensical can be traced back to his own search for joy amidst life's challenges. This remarkable collection is highly recommended for both children and adults, as it invites readers to explore the limitless boundaries of creativity. 'The Book of Nonsense' serves not merely as entertainment; it prompts us to embrace the lighter side of life, encouraging imagination and joy in the everyday. Engage with Lear's enchanting verses, and allow yourself to be swept away into a world where the nonsensical becomes profoundly delightful.
