Sinopsis

In 'Tartarin of Tarascon,' Alphonse Daudet masterfully weaves a satirical narrative that critiques the romanticism of heroism and adventure in the 19th-century French provincial life. Daudet's style is characterized by vivid imagery and playful irony, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the absurdities of Tartarin, an ostentatious yet cowardly man who fancies himself a lion hunter. Set against the quaint backdrop of Tarascon, Daudet employs a blend of humor and pathos that reflects the societal norms and expectations of the time, providing a reflection on national identity and masculinity. Alphonse Daudet, renowned for his ability to capture the nuances of French life, was influenced by his own experiences in Tarascon and the surrounding regions. His familiarity with the Provençal landscape, combined with his astute observations of human folly, allows the narrative to resonate with both authenticity and humor. Daudet's experiences in the literary and artistic circles of Paris further sharpened his satirical edge, inviting readers to question the constructs of bravery and reputation. I highly recommend 'Tartarin of Tarascon' to scholars and enthusiasts of French literature alike. This brilliantly crafted novel not only entertains but also provokes thought regarding the nature of heroism in a rapidly changing society. Daudet's unique voice invites readers to laugh while simultaneously reflecting on their own notions of bravery and the human condition.

    Romans! Madrigals! The Dark Ages! Revolutions! Trumpets! The Oranges of The First World War! All of this (except trumpets) and more, is covered in this definitive, easy-clean history of all world history so far, written by the 21st Century's leading historian, philosopher and thinkerer Philomena Cunk. Focussing on the inventions, art, and brainboxes that made the modern world the unbearable place it is today, The World According To Cunk is the history book to end all history books: more unputdownable than Andrew Marr's History Of The World, less unpickupable than Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens, and noticeably less in ancient Greek than Herodotus' Histories. Philomena Cunk says: "About the world, written on the world, and available at all the world's remaining bookshops, The World According To Cunk is the definitive history of the world. There will never need be another history book. Unless something major happens. Even then they'll probably just put something up on TikTok about it. A word of warning: please don't buy it if you're expecting anything about trumpets in it. You will only be disappointed."

    From PEN/America Award winner, 2021 Guggenheim fellow, and beloved literary and tarot icon Michelle Tea, the hilarious, powerfully written, taboo-breaking story of her journey to pregnancy and motherhood as a 40 year-old, queer, uninsured woman 
    Written in intimate, gleefully TMI prose, Knocking Myself Up is the irreverent account of Tea’s route to parenthood—with a group of ride-or-die friends, a generous drag queen, and a whole lot of can-do pluck. Along the way she falls in love with a wholesome genderqueer a decade her junior, attempts biohacking herself a baby with black market fertility meds (and magicking herself an offspring with witch-enchanted honey), learns her eggs are busted, and enters the Fertility Industrial Complex in order to carry her younger lover’s baby. 
    With the signature sharp wit and wild heart that have made her a favorite to so many readers, Tea guides us through the maze of medical procedures, frustrations and astonishments on the path to getting pregnant, wryly critiquing some of the systems that facilitate that choice (“a great, punk, daredevil thing to do”). In Knocking Myself Up, Tea has crafted a deeply entertaining and profound memoir, a testament to the power of love and family-making, however complex our lives may be, to transform and enrich us.
