Beggar & Other Comedians


Book Description

We all live in a glasshouse of our own, knowing very little about the other glasshouses around us. Let’s therefore get out of our glasshouses for a change and learn more about life in other professions and recognize that we are all more or less comedians. The comedies here, ten very different real-life situations, do not only take this into account but also invite us to look at life with a smile because those who smile live happier and longer.

The Beggar's Opera and Polly


Book Description

In this work, John Gay turned the conventions of Italian opera riotously upside-down, instead using traditional popular ballads and street tunes, while also indulging in political satire at the expense of the then Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole.
