Description
The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney.They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.Spellbinding, informative and moving, Stephen Fry's Mythos perfectly captures these stories for the modern age - in all their rich and deeply human relevance.

These humor writers are known for the scathing wit and elegant prose they employ to satirize British social class and cultural mores. Though Stephen Fry is more modern in the sense that he addresses sexual orientation and drug addiction, both he and P.G. Wodehouse are charmingly irreverent and outright silly. -- Mike Nilsson
Funny essays, satirical fiction, and witty social commentaries have endeared Nick Hornby to a myriad of readers. While his sense of humor isn't quite a dry as Stephen Fry's, he still regales readers with engaging stories, relatable characters, and social oddities. -- Krista Biggs
