Topper (Modern Library (Paperback))

Product Information

Quite funny, but not Thorne Smith's best work. Topper is once again pursued by ghosts who turn his life upside down, this is an extract which sets gives you some idea of the tone of the book: Skin and Bones, Turnabout, The Night Life of the Gods, The Passionate Witch, The Stray Lamb, The Bishop's Jaegers, The Glorious Pool, and Rain in the Doorway were all published by Armed Services Editions. The Passionate Witch (1941, published posthumously and completed by Norman H. Matson). Produced in 1942 as the film I Married a Witch, this novel was one of the inspirations, along with Bell, Book and Candle, for the long-running TV series Bewitched. A sequel to the novel, Bats in the Belfry (1942), is entirely by Matson, though sometimes attributed to Smith. The beloved characters--mortal and immortal--of Topper return in this uproarious romp through the south of France. One of Thorne Smith's best-loved comedies, it proves once again that he is the undisputed master of urbane wit and sophisticated repartee. Captain Bungle pointing rifle at four animals in distance. Elephant, giraffe, hippo and zebra. Monkey sitting on rifle about to fire catapult at him. Price 7/-

A number of heads of characters with names below them. Beryl the Peril top right and Foxy bottom right. Price 7/6 Two things gave me great pleasure. Firstly, Wodehouse tends to people his stories with a small cast suitable to stage farce. After I finish one of his books I increasingly find myself feeling what a small, melancholy, limited and unfruitful world he portrays. Smith, by contrast, in this novel has a film set in mind with his core (or corps?) of stars and a large supporting cast; he creates a world that is more recognizably real because it’s fuller and less confined. I prefer this. As for the ghosts that haunt Cosmo Topper – now that is a rare reason to appreciate the hero, for Cosmo sounds great and it was also used for Cosmo Kramer – they seem to belong to the same category of bizarre, outré, outlandish personages and not ones that would provoke laughter, say as in another glorious masterpiece, A Good Man in Africa by the master of the genre, William Boyd http://realini.blogspot.com/2018/09/a...The language of the book is clear, writer has additionally utilized great statements and interesting model. This book is for those guardians. This short perused book enjoy a great deal of learning, and 15 Yr of examination done by writer with many clinchers who cleared distinctive serious tests, This book is a mysterious formula of progress. A year later, Topper buys their rebuilt car on a whim and learns to drive. Yearning for something but not quite sure what. He just knows something isn't right. He ends up meeting the ghosts of the Kerby's and hilarity and typical ghost-misunderstandings ensue. Growth Mindset is the mindset that toppers have. This type of mindset are found in individuals who learns from their mistakes and are ready to move forward without negative thoughts looming around them. They are not afraid to fail and seeing others just motivates them more to do better. Whereas Fixed Mindset makes an individual stay in the same place. They are afraid to learn further and more afraid of failing. It is easy for them to take compliments but they accept defeat easily.
