With an introduction that sets them in the context of his life, thoughts and times, these essays reveal a passionate, intellegent, personal Leacock, against a backdrop of Depression and war, finding hope and conveying the timeless message that only the human spirit can bring social justice, peace, and progress.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alan Bowker (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":58442933436576,"sku":"9781550025217","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_c5d3afe6-ff97-48d9-b271-22c53e40f6b1.jpg?v=1784994964","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9781550025217","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
