Irish Wit: from Behan and Wilde to Yer Man in the Pub

McCann Sean, 2009

Irish wit is an art form, centuries old yet up-to-the-minute wise, insulting, obscure, profound and idiotic. For years the Irish have mixed wit with wisdom, as they have porter and whiskey, and to the same intoxicating effect! In this book, Sean McCann has succeeded in distilling the essence of Irish wit — on love, religion, the 'hard stuff', the English, with a generous mix from Behan, Yeats, Swift, Moore, O'Casey, but above all from 'yer man', the leading authority on everything that grows, breeds, thinks or computes in the land. It is spiced with Tom Matthews cartoons. Подробнее

The Wee Book of Irish Wit and Malarkey

McCann Sean, 2009

The Irish mix wit and wisdom the way they do whiskey and water, and to the same intoxicating effect. Irish wit is an art form that can be sage, silly, insulting, or profound, but it's always entertaining. «The Wee Book of Irish Wit & Malarkey» is a pint-sized draft of potent mirth and malarkey from Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, Brendan Behan, and many other wags, including 'yer man' — your everyday son of the sod — on everything from love and marriage to death and dying and everything in between.
