Books by Thorne Smith

Hunter Hawk er en lidenskabelig opfinder, der finder en metode til at forvandle levende materiale til sten - og omvendt. Det er under et feltarbejde, at Hawk møder den 900 år gamle Meg, som viser ham, hvordan han kan foretage denne mageløse forvandling; og der går ikke længe, før de begiver sig mod New York med et enkelt formål: at forvandle museumsstatuerne af de græske guder til virkelige væsner.Thorne Smith (1892-1934) var en amerikansk forfatter, der var kendt for sine mange humoristiske fantasyromaner fyldt med overnaturlige fænomener og forvandlinger. Thorne var ligeledes kendt for at skrive bøger, hvor det ikke skortede på sex og indtagelse af alkohol – og ironisk nok blev hans bøger solgt i flere millioner eksemplarer i 1930‘ernes USA, der var præget af blandt andet alkoholforbud.

60 year old Rex Pebble inadvertently discovers that the fountain of youth happens to be in his back yard swimming pool. A magical statue of a nymph by the name of Baggage, an ornamental pool decoration, has playfully endowed the Pebble swimming pool with the power to reverse the aging process. Typical Thorne Smith fun ensues when Pebble, his wife, and his mistress take a dip and take 20 years off their lives. One of the funniest scenes concerns a book dealer wanting to display his old and rare to Pebble's unresponsive mistress. The Ron Howard movie Cocoon borrowed the theme from the Glorious Pool with many of the same humourous results.

Den hjemmegående husmor Sally Willows misunder sin mand, Tim, hans spændende og glamourøse arbejde som reklamemand. Til gengæld ville Tim ønske, at han ligesom Sally kunne dandere den dagen lang i hjemmets trygge og rolige rammer. Men Gud har åbenbart en forskruet sans for humor, for en dag opdager ægteparret, at de har byttet krop. Nu oplever Sally, hvor forfærdeligt det egentlig er at arbejde i reklameindustrien, mens Tim må kæmpe imod tilnærmelser fra mænd, der stadig ser en smuk kvinde, når de kigger på ham."Enten – og" er en humoristisk roman om, hvor galt det kan gå, når man hopper over hegnet for at mærke naboens græs under fødderne og opdager, at det slet ikke er grønnere alligevel.Thorne Smith (1892-1934) var en amerikansk forfatter, der var kendt for sine mange humoristiske fantasyromaner fyldt med overnaturlige fænomener og forvandlinger. Thorne Smith var ligeledes kendt for at skrive bøger, hvor det ikke skortede på sex og indtagelse af alkohol – og ironisk nok blev hans bøger solgt i flere millioner eksemplarer i 1930‘ernes USA, der var præget af blandt andet alkoholforbud.

The madcap story of a scientist who instigates a nocturnal spree with the Greek gods is arguably his most sparkling comedic achievement. Hunter Hawk has a knack for annoying his ultra respectable relatives. He likes to experiment and he particularly likes to experiment with explosives. His garage-cum-laboratory is a veritable minefield, replete with evil-smelling clouds of vapor through which various bits of wreckage and mysteriously bubbling test tubes are occasionally visible. With the help of Megaera, a fetching nine-hundred-year-old lady leprechaun he meets one night in the woods, he masters the art (if not the timing) of transforming statues into people. And when he practices his new witchery in the stately halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art setting Bacchus, Mercury, Neptune, Diana, Hebe, Apollo, and Perseus loose on the unsuspecting citizenry of Prohibition-era New York the stage is set for Thorne Smith at his most devilish and delightful.

This gem of a book tells the tale of Mr. Lamb, an ordinary man who leads an ordinary life, until a chance encounter leads to him experiencing the world through the eyes of various animals. Thorne Smith again shows his mastery of the comic fantasy tale as Lamb lurches from one mishap to another, reeling from his wife's abandonment and the actions of his headstrong daughter and reveling in the new opportunities that his excursions into animal form provide.

Der går ikke ligefrem noget skår af glæden i vennekredsen, da Emily-Jane bliver myrdet. Hun var kendt for at skabe drama og ravage, så de fleste ønskede hende praktisk talt ud til højre. Ikke desto mindre er der sket en forbrydelse, og denne skal jo opklares. Derfor stiller detektiverne Flim Larfen og Snim Narsen deres hjælpe til rådighed ... men det kommer der vist ikke noget godt ud af.Thorne Smith (1892-1934) var en amerikansk forfatter, der var kendt for sine mange humoristiske fantasyromaner fyldt med overnaturlige fænomener og forvandlinger.

Det vil sige, lige indtil den dag han finder ud af at kunne forvandle sig til forskellige dyr. Fra den dag tager hans liv noget af en uventet drejning, hvilket leder til komiske, dramatiske og overraskende oplevelser, når Lamb drager fra den ene tossede begivenhed til den anden.Bogen er skrevet i og med samtidens sprog og retskrivning.Thorne Smith (1892-1934) var en amerikansk forfatter, der var kendt for sine mange humoristiske fantasyromaner fyldt med overnaturlige fænomener og forvandlinger.
