Описание: Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich is a collection of humorous interwoven vignettes by Stephen Leacock, published in 1914. It exists as a companion work to his Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town (1912), due to the similarity of composition, and their subject matter. Arcadian Adventures follows the members of the Mausoleum Club on Plutoria Avenue, in an unnamed American city (usually referred to as Plutoria, after its main street), and pokes fun at their obsessive individualism and materialism. As Leacock thought humour to be the kindly contemplation of the incongruities of life and the artistic expression thereof, Acardian Adventures tends to steer slightly away from this form of kindliness, and, thus, ranks as one of his most scathing works, as well as arguably one of his funniest.
