Beschreibung

In "The Trail of the Tramp," A-No. 1 presents a vivid, firsthand account of the hobo lifestyle in early 20th-century America, capturing the essence of transient life through vivid anecdotes and poetic prose. The work is characterized by its colloquial style, which immerses readers in the historical context of the Great Depression, where economic hardship forced many to live on the fringes of society. The narrative interweaves philosophical musings with practical survival tips, revealing both the struggles and the unexpected camaraderie found among hobos as they traverse the railroads and highways of the nation. A-No. 1, an experienced vagabond himself, draws from a wealth of personal experience, having journeyed across America as a hobo. His unique perspective as a self-identified member of this marginalized community informs the authenticity of his portrayal. The author'Äôs background'Äîreflecting a mixture of wanderlust and societal critique'Äîprovides the impetus for exploring themes of freedom, isolation, and the human spirit'Äôs resilience in the face of adversity. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in American history, sociology, or literature. By captivatingly illustrating the struggles and joys of hobo life, A-No. 1 challenges readers to reconsider societal norms and the value of community, making "The Trail of the Tramp" an enriching addition to the study of American culture.

    Before he had a driver's license, Ryan Merket was leading a global software cracking group from his Texas bedroom—the only business school he ever attended. Hacker's Edge is the improbable story of how that unconventional education propelled him from the digital underground to the halls of Facebook, Amazon, and Reddit. 
    But this is not a story about stock options and catered lunches. It's an unflinching look at the brutal cost of ambition: a battle with addiction that nearly ended his life, a marriage that buckled under the strain of startup culture, and a humiliating professional failure that coincided with a debilitating health crisis. 
    At his lowest point, a venture capitalist told him he lacked the “killer instinct” to win. He was right. Merket's edge wasn't being a killer; it was being the guy who had already been broken and knew how to get back up. 
    Raw, witty, and deeply moving, this memoir is a testament to the power of resilience and a survival guide for the underdog in a world obsessed with ruthless tactics.

    When a routine surf trip catastrophically injures her partner, Colette finds herself confronting a new reality where every moment teeters between life and death. As he lies in a coma, she refuses to surrender to despair—speaking words of encouragement in hushed hospital rooms, dreaming of sunrise surf sessions, and drafting poems that capture hope’s fragile flame. Through months of uncertain diagnoses, grueling therapy sessions, and the weight of fragmented memories, their love becomes the compass guiding them both. Listeners will be drawn into Colette’s fierce determination to rebuild a life shattered by tragedy, witnessing small victories—an eyelid flutter, a whispered phrase, a first tentative step—transform into monumental progress. Vivid soundscapes of crashing waves, hushed hospital corridors, and sunrise breezes immerse audiences in a journey that is as much about personal resilience as it is about reclaiming purpose. In a voice that balances raw vulnerability with unwavering resolve, this audiobook reminds us that true recovery isn’t measured by speed, but by the courage to try again—and the power of love to light the way forward.

    After an exceptionally wild Mother's Day where she danced like there was no tomorrow, picked a fight with a stranger and collided with the floor, Johannesburg scriptwriter and author, Pamela Power, is forced to take a hard look at her drinking habits. She realises that although she does not need to find an AA group immediately, she might be a serial binge drinker and needs to take back control.
    In this honest, yet humorous account of her year of not getting sh*tfaced, Pamela examines her long relationship with alcohol. She is shocked to realise just how much of a crutch alcohol has been for her. There is always a bottle of wine or prosecco around to help her manage the many demands of life as a freelancer and a parent.
    Pamela starts her journey to sobriety at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic as her family faces financial troubles and life in the suburban parks of Johannesburg isn't so blissful anymore. Through her, we experience all the frustration, irritation and surprising benefits of going dry.
    In dealing with her dependence on alcohol, Pamela also confronts her troubled relationship with her parents. While many other sober-curious books portray sobriety as the only answer, in the end Pam finds a sweet spot between total sobriety and binge drinking: moderation.
