  • "Reprezentativní výbor z nejlepších povídek, bajek, literárních parodií a kreslených vtipů amerického humoristy, uznávaného za klasika amerického humoru 20. století. Výbor se pokouší představit autora v jeho mnohotvárnosti a pestrosti: zachycuje nejen jeho povídky s typickými hrdiny, lidmi chycenými v pasti civilizace a konvence, ale i figurkářské povídky, příležitostné črty pro noviny a časopisy, povídky s vážnějšími náměty, postihujícími bezcílnost a tíhu velkoměstského života, chytře koncipované cykly bajek, literární parodie, karikující literární tvorbu, lidi kolem literatury, posedlost po detektivkách, a posléze několik seriálů kreslených vtipů."

  • "Presents a collection of American humorist James Thurber's classic articles and sketches which first appeared in The New Yorker where he was employed for over thirty five years."
  • "As James Thurber writes in his preface, "This book contains a selection of the stories and drawings the old boy did in his prime, a period which extended roughly from the year Lindbergh flew the Atlantic to the day coffee was rationed. He presents this to his readers with his sincere best wishes for a happy new world." The Thurber Carnival, which the Saturday Review called "one of the absolutely essential books of our time," was a phenomenal bestseller when it was first published in 1945. The omnibus, virtually all of which first appeared in The New Yorker, draws from such Thurber classics as My World and Welcome to It, My Life and Hard Times, Fables for Our Time and Famous Poems Illustrated, The Owl in the Attic, The Seal in the Bedroom, and Men, Women and Dogs. - Publisher."

  • "Includes the complete book "My life and hard times." Also selected cartoons, humorous essays, and stories from Thurber's earlier books."@en
