Description
By: Alphonse Allais (1854-1905)
À se tordre by Alphonse Allais is a hilariously absurd collection of short stories that had me laughing out loud from start to finish. Allais’ satirical wit and clever wordplay shine through in every story, making each one a joy to read.
The characters in these stories are delightfully eccentric, and the situations they find themselves in are equally bizarre. From a man who becomes so obsessed with his own reflection that he loses touch with reality, to a group of musicians who play so badly that they end up causing a riot, the stories in À se tordre are truly one-of-a-kind.
Allais’ writing style is fast-paced and punchy, with each story packing a comedic punch that will leave readers in stitches. While some of the humor may be a bit dated, the overall tone of the book is timeless and sure to appeal to fans of clever, offbeat comedy.
Overall, À se tordre is a must-read for anyone looking for a good laugh. Alphonse Allais’ unique brand of humor is as fresh and entertaining today as it was when these stories were first written. I highly recommend this book to anyone in need of a good chuckle.
