Have you noticed that when you re in a bookstore, and you re reading a book of jokes or meditations or moving little chicken-soup stories or deep thoughts, the first few in the book are very meaningful and funny and enjoyable? But when you buy the book and take it home, most the ones after that are really lame and just seem to be taking up space. So you have to ask yourself, What kind of a dope-jerk-moron am I for dishing out $11 dollars for this piece of crap?
That won t happen with this book! John Sheirer looks at life s ordinary moments in extraordinary ways. On the surface, these essays are about reading a note written while falling asleep, cataloging the ways an athlete s body breaks down, missing the signs of flirting, facing a classroom full of bored students, daydreaming at a funeral, gazing into an under-construction restroom and dozens of other everyday events. But these little subjects lead to some of life s most important themes, including love, loss, politics, education, family, death, parenthood, and tolerance. All the while, Sheirer s essays remain readable, delightful, optimistic, sometimes biting, and often laugh-out-loud funny.

Free Chairs
Publicado em 1845, faz parte de Estudos de Costumes - Cenas da Vida Parisiense. O tÃtulo da primeira edição era O Provinciano em Paris e se trata exatamente disso.
Essa novela é composta por uma série de cenas, onde Gazonal vem de uma cidade provinciana a fim de resolver um pendência burocrática em Paris. Léon de Lora, seu primo e um famoso paisagista serve de cicerone e vai mostrando a ele a verdadeira Paris, a que se esconde numa fina superfÃcie de aparências onde nada nem ninguém é exatamente quem ou como se mostra. Encontraremos aqui vários tipos e personagens dessa grande galeria que é a CH apresentados e descritos pelo humor peculiar de León de Lora. Cortesãs, burocratas, videntes, cabeleireiros, advogados, agiotas, operários, aristocratas... estão todos aqui. E o jovem Gazonal achava que conhecia Paris.

"Em Paris tudo é possÃvel, tanto para o bem como para o mal, para o justo e o injusto. Aqui tudo se faz, tudo se desfaz, tudo se refaz."
"Léon de Lora, nosso célebre pintor de paisagens, pertence a uma das mais nobres famÃlias do Roussillon, de origem espanhola e que, se se recomenda pela antiguidade da raça, está, faz cem anos, votada à proverbial pobreza dos Hidalgos. "
