JOSEPH ANDREWS (Episode 1) - Radio play of Henry Fielding's comic Georgian romp.
Joseph Andrews by Henry Fielding.
A rip-roaring, rollicking, bodice-ripping romp through Georgian England !
Described on the title page as “Written in Imitation of the Manner of Cervantes, author of Don Quixote,” Joseph Andrews begins as a burlesque of Pamela, but the parodic intention of the novel soon becomes secondary, and it develops into a masterpiece of sustained irony and social criticism. At its centre is Parson Adams, one of the great comic figures of literature. Joseph and the parson have a series of adventures, in all of which they manage to expose the hypocrisy and affectation of others through their own innocence and guilelessness.(Encyclopedia Brittanica)

    I frequently find that certain story lines by PGW , like the Galahad manuscript fiasco involve different characters,eg Wasn't if Bertie Wooster who was put up to stealing it, and subsequently "shopped" by young Edwin? Of course Jeeves saves the day in the end. Talking of Jeeves, isn't Beech very similar to Jeeves? And isn't Constance Aunt Agatha? It's all spiffing, but does make the nind boggle!

    Best greetings from Algeria: Could the claims and books of Lobsang Rampa were just based on other esoteric books before him(At least before the first Book published in 1956) about mystical tibet and other esoteric subjects??.Do psychic abilities(mentioned in the first book,1956) really exist in Tibet, if yes,what are the Books (before1956) that mentioned them??

  • @abdosenouci9740
    @abdosenouci9740 Місяць тому

    How can we prove that Lobsang Rampa really existed in Tibet,a very close person to the 13th Dalaï Lama??: The Dalai Lama, the thirteenth Dalai Lama, was my patron. He ordered that I should receive every possible assistance in training, and in experience. He directed that I should be taught everything that could be crammed into me, and as well as being taught by the ordinary oral system I was also instructed by hypnosis, and by various other forms which there is no need to mention here. Some of them are dealt with in this book, or in The Third Eye. Others are so novel, and so incredible that the time is not ripe for them to be discussed. Because of my powers of clairvoyance I was able to be of a great assistance to the Inmost One on various occasions. I was hidden in his audience room so that I could interpret a person's real thoughts and intentions from the aura. This was done to see if the person's speech and thoughts tallied particularly when they were foreign statesmen visiting the Dalai Lama. I was an unseen observer when a Chinese delegation was received by the Great Thirteenth. I was an unseen observer, too, when an Englishman went to see the Dalai Lama, but on the latter occasion I nearly fell down in my duty because of my astonishment at the remarkable dress which the man wore, my first, very first sight of European dress!. Doctor From Lhasa(1959) While I was still studying at the University of Chungking I was summoned back to Lhasa because the Thirteenth Dalai Lama was about to die. I arrived there and took part in the ceremonies which followed His death, and then after attending to various business in Lhasa I again re-turned to Chungking.The Rampa story(1960) “What is the trouble here?” asked the Lama Mingyar Dondup. “There is no trouble here except that that boy” (pointing at me) “always disturbs the class. We don't know if he is going to be in the class or out of the class, and I am not having a boy like that to teach.” “Oh, so it's like that, eh? This boy, Lobsang Rampa, is under special orders from the Great Thirteenth, and you will obey those orders just as I do. Come with me, we will go and see the Great Thirteenth now.” The Lama Mingyar Dondup turned and walked out of the room with the Lama Teacher following him meekly, still clutching his stick.Tebitan Sage(1980)

    Is this true to you.Ancient advanced civilisations left machines in the hypothetical hollow mountains that provide chocolate and cakes?🤔🤔 "Ecstasy! The most wonderful taste I had ever had in my life. “Master,” I said, “this is something you really must try.” I wheeled him around to the button and he pressed again, and a lot more of these things came out. I took one and put it in my mouth, and it was just as if I had got a stone in my mouth. After a few moments, though, the outer shell of the thing became soft and my continued jaw pressure broke through the surface and then I got the sweetest of sweet tastes. There seemed to be different flavors. Each colour had a different flavor. Now I hadn't the faintest idea what this was, and the Lama saw I was at a loss. “I have traveled a lot, you know, Lobsang, and in a Western city I saw a machine like this, it had candy balls in it, the same as these are. But in that Western city one had to put money. One put a coin in a slot and so many of these balls would roll out. There were other machines like it, providing different things. There was one that appealed to me particularly because it had a stuff called chocolate in it. Now, I can't write the word for you. “Ah! Ah!” he said, “There it is, there is that word written down here with six other words. I suppose they are all different languages. But let's see if this one works.” He pressed the button firmly, and the machine gave a little cough, and a door opened in the front. There we saw different types of chocolate or candies, and so we helped ourselves to so much that we felt heartily sick. I frankly thought I was going to die! I went to that disposal place and brought up all those things which I had eaten. The Lama Mingyar Dondup, aban- doned in his chair, called for me to collect him in a hurry, so we will just draw a veil over the rest of that experience."The tibetan sage(1980)
