Пълно описание

"For years I've wanted a president I could honestly look up to,
and now I've found him." - William D. Kelley on Abraham Lincoln

When Wit Was a Public Art
Entire careers once turned on the force of a single phrase. A well-timed retort could win an
argument, deflect an attack, or secure a reputation. In an age that took words seriously, wit
was not decoration. It was judgment, style, and intelligence made public.

The Profession of Wit gathers hundreds of carefully selected anecdotes from the great
tradition of Anglo-American eloquence. Drawn from period collections and edited for
modern readers, these stories preserve the quick thinking and elegant phrasing that once
animated courtrooms, pulpits, press offices, lecture halls, and dinner tables.

Featuring Abraham Lincoln, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Benjamin Disraeli, Daniel Webster,
and others, this volume offers amusement, insight, and literary pleasure in equal measure.

The Profession of Wit is the first volume in Classic Eloquence, an ongoing series devoted to
recovering the lost art of verbal wit.
