Blandings' Way

Eric Hodgins

4.9/5 (18350 ratings)

Description:A great many people have been wondering what happened to the Mr. Blandings who built his dream house in 1946. Now they are in a position to find out. Let's face it quickly - Mr. Blandings tried to become a Social Force. And Blandings' Way sets forth, with alternations of warm humor and cold terror, the log of this perilous voyage.Mr. Blandings knew very well how to be a successful advertising man. But with the world in an agony of tension he had difficulty keeping his mind on Queeze, the new modern luncheon spread; or Arf, the dog food with the three Balanced Odors. So nothing could have been more logical than for Mr. Blandings to plan an escape into the placid simplicity of the small New England township where he had built his home, and where he could do good by the bucketful. But by the time Mr. Blandings, the man of good will who can see both sides of every question, has had sufficient time to do sufficient good in Lansdale Town, he has every reason to consider the life of a city advertising man as nothing less than Paradise Lost. Such is his country success that half his fellow men there regard him as a communist while the other half call for his blood as the type of capitalist who must be liquidated as the price of an advancing social order.If you have ever found yourself in a quandary; if you have ever doubted or been misunderstood; if the world has ever turned against you because you generously offered to help it out of a hole, this book will bring you a message of hope and cheer: you had it easier than you thought. A page by page comparison of your life with Blandings' Way will prove conclusively that you and he are brothers - but that he bore the brunt.As the best of high comedy inevitably must, the book deals with the vital problems of the day. It is a genuine work of social satire, brilliantly deft and witty. But please keep this to yourself, because a lot of people without your discernment are also going to read Blandings' Way and laugh their fool head off just because it is so warmly funny. In this book Mr. Blandings emerges from the status of a man who built his house and becomes a permanent, full-scale addition to American folklore. The publishers are hoping to be able to arrange to have it denounced shortly after issue. Meanwhile: this much is certain - it is an October choice of the Book-of-the-Month Club.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
