Stephen Leacock resigned from teaching at Upper Canada College in 1899 to pursue graduate studies at Chicago, from which he graduated in 1903, after presenting his thesis dealing with dogmatic opposition to state intervention. Carl Spadoni's discovery of Leacock's long-lost thesis gives readers a unique opportunity to understand the man and re-examine his philosophies.

Den canadiske humorist Stephen Leacock har skrevet et hav af fortællinger, som oftest ret korte, hvor det lykkes ham i historiens løb at få vendt op og ned på alt, hvad man som læser kunne have forestillet sig, da man begyndte på den.Humor kan være meget bundet til den tid, hvor den blev skrevet, men det er nu ikke tilfældet med Leacock - de 13, vi her har udvalgt fra samlinger, der oprindelig udkom mellem 1910 og 1918 kan stadig lokke et smil - og nogen gange mere end det - frem. En del af de her foreliggende har tidligere været udgivet på dansk, men i oversættelser der enten var forkortet eller lokaliseret næsten til ukendelighed, og vi har derfor med to undtagelser valgt at nyoversætte dem.Indhold:AsbestmandenGuvernanten Gertrude, eller Bare sytten årMin finansielle karriereNummer 56Q — En overnaturlig historieIndsyltet i havtang, eller: Skrupforvirret på det store havDen ældgamle historie om, hvordan fem mænd tog på fisketurUd i naturen og te'baws igenAfsløringer fra min tid som spionHjemme hos HulemandenTryllekunstnerens hævnOm at låne en tændstikSnoopopati, eller Halvtreds historier i én
