Synopsis

Witty essays and keenly observed humor that turns everyday life into delightfully entertaining reading.

In Of All Things, Robert Benchley collects his signature humor into a lively volume of short pieces. Readers encounter smart, playful takes on topics ranging from social life and etiquette to the quirks of work and leisure. The tone is light, the observations precise, and the writing sparkling with dry wit that fans of classic American humor will recognize and relish.

These essays present everyday moments with a sly twist, inviting you to smile at the small absurdities that surround us. The pieces read like quick, clever conversations with a friend who sees the comedy in ordinary life and shares it with easy grace.

• Sharp, accessible humor that sails on clever punchlines and social observation.


• Short, self-contained pieces ideal for quick, satisfying reads.


• A warm, period-appropriate voice that feels both timeless and distinctly playful.


• Light, non-spoilery reflections on daily life, manners, and culture.

Ideal for readers who enjoy witty, lightly satirical essays and classic humor that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
