Sinossi

"The Silence of Colonel Bramble" by André Maurois is a very funny novella. The story is set in the trenches and reveals the author's memories of the First World War. Maurois plays the role of Aurelle, who is the French interpreter. Aurelle uses his poems to intersperse his reminiscences. He finds the British very hard to make out! The book is not a war memoir but about British people, their way of thinking, and their culture in a fun manner.

    Meet the Boxheads. They’re the family of the new millennium. The Boxheads have many funny situations as they explore their new surroundings and meet new friends at the local mall. Come along with them to learn about morals, good manners, and how to be a true friend through problem-solving. The Boxheads saga will continue with their unique methods of teaching children to love, respect, and have genuine feelings that are motivated by both heart and mind, always using the power of reasoning to weigh both sides, thus coming to the right and most thoughtful conclusions. By keeping the little conscious activated, it keeps an open mind to the good and not-so-good, in time developing character and good conduct. The Boxhead’s personalities reflect the basics of today’s children. Without any further ado, I would like to introduce the Boxheads!

Turns out we aren’t. 
      
    Whether a fabulous fib, an artful con, a doctor’s spin, or simply a bald-faced lie, there’s something for everyone.

    No one roots for the Henchmen—the big, dumb, tough, disposable guys who blindly follow the villains . . . but are they all bad? 
    . . . Or are they just poorly trained, mistreated workers with evil bosses? 
      
    Recent college grad, Matt, is an insurance salesman whose life has turned into routine and monotony. 
    All that changes when he finds himself in the middle of a deadly bar fight and, in a split-second, is forced to make a decision: kill or be killed. Matt chooses self-preservation, saving himself, and, unbeknownst to him, the head of cybercriminal organization, DMF Enterprises. 
    Suddenly a murderer and a fugitive, Matt now also finds himself to be the latest target of a notoriously dangerous, rival cyber-criminal. For protection, Matt is offered the chance to join DMF's league of Henchmen. 
    But Matt quickly learns that the modern-day Henchmen are not like the ones in the movies. They drink Starbucks and watch Netflix on the job, and they make fatal mistakes, like accidentally locking the doors of the van mid-kidnapping. 
    If Matt can't survive as a Henchman, he will face the streets and the Outside Threat all on his own. But, if he can unite them, Matt can begin the evolution of Henchman, and better yet, stay alive. Does he have what it takes to triumph, or will he, too, become disposable? 
    Join Matt in the first book in this laugh-out-loud, action-packed Henchman Training Academy series.

    Geoffrey Little's edgy hilarity and rare sensitivity fuse across these sixteen stories. First recorded as immersive conversational podcasts, the tales here include a mandatory corporate retirement party, class with an eccentric yoga instructor, an overconfident podcaster, and an icky food truck love triangle. 
    Whether pleasantly hapless or bitterly exacting, the conversations here (and each are only dialogue) portray a range of humanity, including a few non-humans. Chat is still where it's at, even in the fast lane of the 21st century.

    “One of the great cartoonists of our time.” –New Yorker cartoonist Arnold Roth The remarkable story of one of America’s most prolific and beloved cartoonists, Al Jaffee, with dozens of original color illustrations. Jaffe’s career in cartooning stretches back to 1941—with early humor pieces for Timely Comics, a precursor to Marvel Comics—but the iconic artist remains best known for the brilliant Fold-In cartoons he invented at Bill Gaines’s Mad magazine in 1964. The cerebral and sardonic illustrations have inspired generations of Mad readers—including Stephen Colbert, R. Crumb, Gary Larson and Charles Shultz—to embrace a firm and healthy irreverence towards the status quo. New York Times columnist and bestselling author Mary-Lou Weisman (My Middle-Aged Baby Book) helps Jaffe tell his remarkable story.
