Beschreibung

A mighty river. A young dreamer. A lifetime of stories flowing between the two.
Blending memoir, travel writing, and sharp social observation, Mark Twain recounts his days as a steamboat pilot and his later return to the great Mississippi River. Along its winding banks, he captures the humor, danger, and wonder of river life—while reflecting on how America and its people have changed with time.

Praised as "one of Twain's most entertaining and personal works," this classic overflows with wit, nostalgia, and unforgettable characters. Twain's voice—warm, mischievous, and deeply human—turns the river into a living symbol of adventure and memory.

If you love vivid storytelling, American history, and humor that feels timeless, this book will carry you effortlessly from page to page.

Open the book—and let Mark Twain guide you down the river of a vanished America.

    ‘A lyrical, amiable and educational celebration of what may be our greatest achievement: the chippy.’ Stuart Maconie 
    Step inside and unwrap this deliciously entertaining look at Britain’s national dish. 
    There is a corner of every town and city in Britain where the air is tangy with vinegar and the scent of frying. Following the irresistible lure, Daniel Gray ponders the magic of chippies and the delights they have sprinkled among us for the last 150 years as he investigates the social – and sociable – history of fish and chips. 
    Travelling to chippies from Dundee to Devon via South Shields, Oldham, Bradford, Bethnal Green, the Rhondda Valley and more – Daniel Gray explores our fish-and-chip nation to show how chippies have helped emancipate women, promote equality for immigrants and shape local and national identity. 
    Whether you were raised eating scraps of Wolverhampton’s orange chips, London’s ‘wallies’ or Hull’s chip spice – even if you think you know whether tea, Vimto or dandelion and burdock is the best accompaniment – this mouth-watering book is as much about who we are as what we eat. 
    In this top non-fiction, Gray takes us on a regional journey through the ethnic corners of Britain, from English chippies to Scottish fry-ups, and Welsh delights. His narratives, as crisp as the chips he describes, serve as essays on cooking, culture, and identity. 
    For fans of Jonathan Wilson (Kick and Run), Jon Spurling (Death or Glory), Alan Partridge (Alan Partridge), Tim Rich (On Days Like These), and Pen Vogler (Scoff).

    From legendary chef Jacques Pepin, a book celebrating his lifelong love of chickens, featuring dozens of his celebrated paintings and more than 50 recipes, along with a treasure trove of poignant and often humorous stories. 
    Chicken may not be an extravagant ingredient, but for master chef Jacques Pépin, it is the one he turns to most frequently—to cook and to paint. In this beautifully illustrated book, Jacques reminisces on his life through the lens of the humble bird, from his childhood in rural France, where he chased chickens and watched as his maman turned them into her poulet à la crème, to his demanding apprenticeship and long, illustrious career—cooking Chicken Chasseur for Charles de Gaulle and his family, turning down a chance to work as JFK’s White House Chef for a job at Howard Johnson’s, and appearing on television alongside food-world luminaries like Julia Child. Throughout are Jacques’ favorite chicken and egg recipes, conveyed as if he were sharing them over a dinner table. Most significantly, the book displays dozens of Jacques’ stunning paintings of chickens. “If it clucks or scratches, it’s likely that Jacques has painted it.” This unique book is the next best thing to a visit to Jacques’ home, which would include a tour of his art studio, captivating conversation as he cooks, and a toast with a glass of wine over a simple meal of perfect roast chicken.   
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
