Sinossi

In "Going into Society," Charles Dickens masterfully intertwines the intricacies of social class and the complexities of human relationships within the vibrant tapestry of Victorian England. Through the lens of his characteristic wit and keen observation, Dickens explores the lives of various characters as they navigate the expectations and follies of high society. His use of vivid imagery and satirical tone not only entertains but also provokes critical reflection on the moral dilemmas facing individuals within the rigid class structures of the era, making it a notable work in the canon of social commentary. Dickens, an esteemed literary figure and a vocal critic of societal injustices, draws upon his own experiences growing up in poverty and witnessing the stark contrasts of wealth and privilege. These personal encounters with social disparity imbue his writing with authenticity and empathy. "Going into Society" reflects Dickens' deep understanding of human nature and his commitment to revealing the challenges faced by the underprivileged, urging readers to confront societal norms and advocate for change. This remarkable work is essential reading for those who appreciate intricate narratives that delve into social dynamics and human resilience. Dickens' astute observations and engaging storytelling make "Going into Society" not only a reflection of its time but also a timeless examination of class and morality, inviting readers to ponder their own societal roles.

    A dark, satiric novel about a woman whose attempt to escape crises in her health and marriage ends up causing more chaos.Cat's career has stalled, her marriage has gone flat, and being a stay-at-home mom for two young kids has become a grind. When she finds out, all within a few days, that she is pregnant, that a lump in her breast is the worst thing it could be, and that her husband has done something unforgivably repulsive, she responds by running away from her marriage and her life — a life that, on the outside, looks like middle-class success. Her actions send waves of chaos through the lives of multiple characters, including a struggling house cleaner, a rich and charismatic yoga guru, and even an ailing dog. What follows is a dark comedy about marriage, motherhood, privilege, and power.

    Lucy tries so hard to be good. She was always a good student, tries to be a good friend, a good citizen, a good feminist, and now she wants a lover who will give her a good beating, preferably after tying her up. 
Dating swings from the sublime to the humiliating, but then Lucy hooks up with someone who challenges her to pursue the writing career she has been letting idle. When she discovers a teen magazine from the 1970s, it sparks her imagination and her life finally seems to come into focus; but as she learns more about how women were treated behind the scenes, she has to decide what to do. How to be true to herself, as chaotic as she believes herself to be; how to be good to those around her; how to survive as a young woman in the still messy media culture of 2015. 
Surprising, sexy, and hilarious, Good Girl is a thoughtful and endearing portrait of a young woman unsure of what she’s supposed to want from a world where the rules keep changing.

And will it ever recover? (Spoiler alert – it won't.)

    Have you ever wondered where horse milk vodka comes from? Or how to fight off a mob of Malaysian monkeys? Is it bad luck to wash cow poop off of your shoe? Travel vicariously with Sam across the Orient to find the funny but true answers. 
Sam savors every local culture he encounters much like Conan O’Brian and the late Anthony Bourdain — embracing the people, their food, and especially their curiosities. His humor and infatuation with humanity’s diversity fuel each story. 
Teaching in Korea and Vietnam since 2015, Sam uses his time out of the classroom to explore the rest of Asia. His short five-book series, Itchy Feet Travel Tales in Asia, covers his adventures (and misadventures) in Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. 
These stories of the sublime and the surreal will have you giggling and gawking as you follow Sam through the weird and wonderful world of the East.
