Irony is a powerful weapon. This e-book is a dedication to the thousands of fans who have protested against the desecration of the work of J. R. R. Tolkien.When Amazon Prime Video put one billion dollar in the new tv-show The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power they got arrogant. Bit by bit they changed the unique world created by Tolkien. They didn’t like the stories that had enthralled readers in more than 70 years, and viewers in more than 20 years. So they created their own. But fans of Middle-Earth are hardcore. We don’t like it when details faked, twisted and distorted – or completely wrong. When photos and trailers from the new tv-series was released the fandom protested.As Amazon is an online giant they have the influence and power to get critical voices silenced. Wherever The Rings of Power was promoted online, thousands of Tolkien-fans flocked there to publish their comments.  As ’pippin226’ wrote: Amazon tries a cashgrab on the Tolkien franchise. Tolkien fans: LOL, You have no power here! . And ’Ray A’ wrote: The collective Tolkien fan-base of millions say in unison to Amazon, ’YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!’ .The fans chose the perfect weapon against censorship: irony and satire. One of the best example is Andre Ávilas comment on Youtube: The part where Jenny says to Treebeard ’Run, forest, run!’ was without a doubt a triumph in cinematography! . In this e-book we have gathered more than 222 of these ironic reviews and comments.Many are using quotes and references from classic movies and tv-series to deride the effort by Amazon to modernize Middle-earth.You better know your Harry Potter , Star Wars and Breaking Bad . In some quotes the references are really obscure, for example the ein befehl -Hitler-scene from the movie Downfall/Der Untergang .

Ali G (Sacha Baron Cohen's irony-filled, semi-reverent swipe at British West-Indian musical stereotypes), steps out in his first big screen adventure. Ali G, leading light of the West Staines Massiv, runs a course in a local community centre for local surburban kids keen to emulate his (deluded) gangster dope-ness. When the centre is threatened with closure by budget cuts Ali is persuaded to run for the job of local MP, bringing him to the attention of scheming Deputy Prime Minister (Charles Dance), who is keen to somehow discredit the Prime Minister (Michael Gambon) through association with a loose cannon like Ali. Unfortunately Ali's platform on race relations and immigration proves surprisingly popular, and Ali saves the PM.

First published in 1752, Micromegas is one of Voltaire’s best-known works. It is a tale of mordant irony, and actually the original science-fiction short story. Arriving on Earth from the star Sirius, the gigantic explorer Micromégas discovers the people of Earth, so small compared to him that he first believes that no creature this size can hope to achieve any degree of intelligence he will soon discover the ways and thoughts of these diminutive people, who clearly have an over-inflated idea of their own importance in the universe. Voltaire s extrapolations of sun-powered interstellar flight, alien civilizations, and the two moons of Mars, are designed to make us see ourselves in a new light and laugh at what we find.

‘Gone Astray’ is one of Chekhov’s earlier comedic short stories that is a light-hearted romp about two drunken lawyers trying to find their way home at night. Chekhov’s masterful use of irony is present here as one of the lawyers, Kozyavkin, accidentally violates the law by breaking into a house he believes to be his own. The short features some of Chekhov’s most farcical images, such as the overly confident Kozyavkin blindly stumbling through a chicken coop to find his misplaced belongings. ‘Gone Astray’ is a hilarious short story that is an interesting bridge between Chekhov’s earlier comedic work and later melancholy stories as his satirical view of the upper classes is a constant theme throughout. Featuring terrific characters and slapstick comedy, ‘Gone Astray’ should be read by fans of Chekhov or the television series ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’.A prolific writer of seven plays, a novel and hundreds of short stories, Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) is considered one of the best practitioners of the short story genre in literature. True to life and painfully morbid with his miserable and realistic depictions of Russian everyday life, Chekhov’s characters drift between humour, melancholy, artistic ambition, and death. Some of his best-known works include the plays Uncle Vanya , The Seagull , and The Cherry Orchard , where Chekhov dramatizes and portrays social and existential problems. His short stories unearth the mysterious beneath the ordinary situations, the failure and horror present in everyday life.

Set against a backdrop of the Chilean War of Independence, Gaspar Ruiz is the story of the tumultuous rise and fall of a local peasant turned rebel soldier. An epic tale of remarkable irony and adventure, we follow Ruiz - who possesses an almost Herculean strength - from soldier to prisoner, to fugitive and finally colonel of the Spanish Army. Sardonically, his strength proves invaluable at saving his life multiple times, but is also ultimately the vehicle of his peril. Joseph Conrad s work went on to influence authors like George Orwell, John le Carré and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-born author who left Poland in his teens to avoid enlistment in the Russian Army. He learned English aboard British ships and started writing in the language after settling in England.
