Hardback. Condition: As New. What makes funny FUNNY? An esteemed anthologist interviews thirteen favorite children's authors -- and asks them to share their trade secrets. Do you ever make yourself laugh while you are writing? "A joke isn't a joke if you need to explain it," notes Leonard S. Marcus. "Even so, the hidden clockwor…k of comedy . . . has long been considered one of the great riddles of life." There are many kinds of humor, but capturing their essence on paper is a remarkably difficult (and often undervalued) skill. So how do authors create books that not only stand the tests of time but also make us laugh? In thirteen fascinating interviews, well-loved writers of humorous books for children discuss an array of topics, from their sources of inspiration to the ways they began writing, from their revision processes to childhood anecdotes to the value they place on comedy in their work and lives. Beautifully designed and thoughtfully edited, this collection is bound to tickle the fancy of children and adults alike. Back matter includes an index.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Tato kniha obsahuje tri dlouho ztracene texty z prvni poloviny 8. stoleti, ktere se radi mezi nejranejsi zenove spisy: Zaznamy o ucitelich a zacich Lanky obsahuji kompletni souhrn zivotopisu zenovych patriarchu. Bodhidharmovo pojednani o nazirani mysli predstavuje ruzne druhy cviceni, ktere vykonava… bodhisattva na sve stezce kultivace mysli. Je sepsano formou rozhovoru mezi prvnim zenovym patriarchou Bodhidharmou a jeho zakem Chuej-kchem. Pojednani o ryzim nahlem osviceni predklada radu otazek a odpovedi, jez osvetluji pravou prirozenost 'nahleho osviceni'. Tyto texty zily dlouhou dobu v zapomneni i v samotne Cine a znovu byly objeveny az ve 20. stoleti mezi dokumenty z doby Tchangu v Tun-chuangu.
