Satirical Short Stories: Wit and satire used for amusement or even to critique society

by Nikolai Gogol, Mark Twain, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, D. H. Lawrence, Anton Chekhov Narrated by Richard Mitchley, Hubert Gregg, David Shaw-Parker

Overview

Satire. That form of wit that ridicules all those shortcomings and flaws in individuals, society and its institutions in an effort to shame and mock them into a change of behaviour. And words in the hands of such talents as Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Jerome K Jerome and very many others are the mightiest weapons of such persuasion.
