I'm pretty extraordinary (read: absolutely normal) for an average guy named Patrick- Patrick Kraker, and before you ask, no, I do not want a cracker; neither does Polly. Polly's sick of crackers. a) My summer job may or may not involve spray painting myself completely silver and standing motionless in the park. Of course not. b) I also may or may not be investigating and communicating with a homeless guy who is (possibly): one, not actually homeless and two, part of a cult of (probably) bloodthirsty satanic worshippers. *** Copyright © 2015 by unfurled All rights reserved #34 Humour Featured as of 28/04/16

The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.

(ITA)"Il fantasma di Canterville" è un racconto umoristico scritto nel 1887. Hiram Otis, un uomo politico nordamericano, compra l'antica tenuta di Canterville Chase, nella campagna inglese, e vi si trasferisce con la famiglia, per nulla spaventato dal fatto che la proprietà sia abitata da un fantasma. Lo spettro di sir Simon, infatti, comparso nel 1584 dopo avere ucciso la propria moglie, per tre secoli ha terrorizzato gli abitanti di Canterville, spesso fino alla follia. (ENG) "The Canterville Ghost" is a short story by Oscar Wilde. The story is about a family who moves to a castle haunted by the ghost of a dead nobleman, who killed his wife and was starved to death by his wife's brothers. Wilde mixes the macabre with comedy, juxtaposing devices from traditional English ghost stories.
