Anna T. Litovkina’s most recent book presents the stereotypical traits of lawyers and politicians as they are reflected in Anglo-American jokes and anti-proverbs. The book represents the first comprehensive collection and content interpretation of lawyer jokes and proverbs without offering linguistic analysis. It classifies and explains content-wise several lawyer jokes and proverbs that had been unclassified. The well-structuredness of the work deserves praise.
