Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This satirical work skewers the flimflammery and humbug pervasive across a spectrum of professions and institutions in an era obsessed with innovation and progress. The author skewers poets, journalists, editors, and politicians, and casts scorn on spiritualists, inventors, financial speculators, corrupt officials, and advocacy groups. They observe that the "gassy" qualityâ"a heightened nonsensicalityâ"is not limited to individuals but extends to entire professions and organizations. These forces amplify the sway of humbug over reason, becoming more self-important and ridiculous as their influence grows. The author posits that this era of escalating gas is inevitable but warns of a "gassy" apocalypse where logic and sense are overthrown by irrationality. This book provides a timeless critique of human folly and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unbridled enthusiasm and the corrosive effects of gas on society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
