English Pharisees French Crocodiles, And Other Anglo-French Typical Characters
A shrewd, sparkling lampoon of manners and misadventure across two destinies. A witty tour through victorian england and fin de siecle paris, where satire essays and humour collection mingle with the clash of cultures. Max O'Rell's Anglo-French sketches return to life in a complete illustrated edition that is more than a reprint. This volume reads as both humane portraiture and social mirror, weaving cultural stereotypes, anglo french customs, and the ideal of British French manners into a vibrant literary pastiche anthology. For cultural historians and satire readers alike, it offers sharp observations, playful misreadings, and enduring wit that travels beyond its era. Alpha Editions restores the tone, timing, and sparkle for today's readers and future generations. The book is a celebration of voice and point of view, inviting casual readers to enjoy accessible, engaging prose while inviting collectors to treasure a work once out of print for decades. It stands as a cultural treasure, a window into a world where national foibles become shared humour and social commentary. Whether you seek a welcoming entry into classic literature or a prized addition to a refined library, this volume delivers. It taps the marrow of anglo french satire, captures the rhythms of victorian england and fin de siecle paris, and assembles a literary pastiche that endures. The complete illustrated edition invites re-reading, reverence, and delight.
