O porque de Davi minusculo diante do gigante Golias no tremeu, apesar de sentir medo, na hora de perder seu filho de sua vergonha, com Bate-seba, logo apos essa perca ser pai de Salomo, o seu sucessor. Como Josue de forma clara e simples conseguiu derrubar as muralhas de Jerico, com apenas alguns guerreiros e sacerdotes, na base de barulho e gritos. Como de forma impressionante Moises abriu o Mar vermelho e cansou Farao e seus cavaleiros, como Daniel em meio a varios lees sequer foi arranhado, e como saiu ileso da fornalha ardente, passeando no meio do fogo, o livro mostra alguns exemplos vividos nos tempos atuais, para mostrar que a fe e atitude andam justas ainda hoje.

W.S. GilbertAos Utopia, Limited is a satirical examination of societal norms and governance, cleverly interlaced with musical whimsy characteristic of the Victorian operatic style. This comic operetta, first performed in 1893, is notable for its sharp critique of colonialism and the absurdities of utopian governance. Through a series of humorous and absurd scenarios, Gilbert explores themes of freedom, morality, and the often incongruent aspirations of society versus its realities, all wrapped in his signature wit and clever wordplay. W.S. Gilbert, known for his dynamic partnership with composer Arthur Sullivan, was deeply influenced by the socio-political landscape of Victorian England, which stirred his imagination and critical eye. His earlier works had already begun to unravel pretensions within society, making Utopia, Limited a natural progression in his exploration of the absurdities inherent in both institutions and ideals. Gilberts background as a prolific playwright and poet undoubtedly fueled his penchant for blending comedy with incisive social commentary. Readers who appreciate sharp satire and insightful humor will find Utopia, Limited an enduring work that remains relevant today. The operetta invites reflection on current societal structures, making it a compelling read for those intrigued by the interplay of comedy and critique. Its clever lyrics and unique perspective encourage audiences to ponder the nature of utopia itself, proving Gilberts brilliance as a satirist and playwright.

CON LA VENIAEste libro que ahora presento, UNA TRANSICIÓN DE RISA, es el fruto de la recopilación de algunos de los trabajos de humor que llevé a cabo durante los años setenta, ochenta y noventa del pasado siglo a traves de collages y textos varios en diferentes medios de comunicacion. Publicados en medios como El Pais Semanal, El Siglo, Renovacion, Union, Alcobendas, Antena Semanal, Villa de Madrid, Demanda, Madriz y otros. Hice durante aquellos años periodismo desde la optica del humor porque pensaba, y lo sigo pensando, que la sonrisa es la distancia mas corta entre las personas, y que es bueno ver la vida desde esta premisa, ya que por una parte nos acerca como los humanos que somos y por otra todavia no lleva IVA, de momento... Prueben a practicarlo, y veran que merece la pena intentar mirarnos a la jeta sin maquillaje, tal cual.Pienso que si los medicos tienen la obligacion de salvar vidas, los periodistas tenemos la obligacion de contarlas, y yo lo he hecho de una forma desenfadada, porque para cosas serias ya hay un monton de colegas que lo bordan, por lo que yo decidi quedarme en la calceta fina, de andar por casa.Han pasado unos cuarenta años de aquel tiempo en que algunos contabamos el dia a dia intentando darle un toque desenfadado, y hemos llegado a un momento como el presente en el que el ambiente politico, social y e incluso del rosario en familia anda un tanto enrarecido en esta piel de toro, vaca u oveja, por llamarlo de una manera suave. Seria bueno aprender del pasado, y pensar que si en aquel tiempo fuimos capaces de salir de la larga noche del silencio impuesto durante cuarenta años, merece la pena intentarlo de nuevo. Porque, como decia Lope de Vega, a nadie se le dio veneno en risa. Va por ustedes, y que la sonrisa brote como flor silvestre. Buena cosecha. Conrad

En este cuento de humor negro, una mujer muy dramática llamada Signora Psyche Zenobia relata una aventura extraordinaria y extraña durante un paseo por la ciudad. Impulsada por la curiosidad y la ambicion literaria, se ve envuelta en una situacion cada vez mas absurda y surrealista. Con su tono exagerado y su narracion aparentemente seria, la historia parodia el estilo gotico sensacionalista de la epoca, mezclando el terror con una satira mordaz.
