Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Political Comedy of Europe Yes, Polichinelle, Hans Wurst, Harlequin, Petrowska, Pasquino, all of you who are showing off, on the other side of the Atlantic; you are going too fast. For years past you have done nothing but break heads and arms and legs, of actual flesh and blood, and for this you have never yet had a deservedly good licking. Whereas, poor Punchinello in America is unmercifully lynched, for having demolished a few pasteboard or wooden arms and legs, perhaps under the influence of a legitimate glass of whiskey. God is not just; no, I must surely ask of our good President a passport for Europe, where my equals all wear gilded coronets and flowing plumes, sit upon their thrones, attended by brilliant and resplendent escorts, are treated as kings and princes, and enjoy all the consideration and respect due only to those whose might makes right, by their ability to maltreat their fellow creatures according to their deserts... Laughter and applause in the audience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
