Beschreibung

In "The Diary of a Freshman," Charles Macomb Flandrau presents a vivid portrayal of collegiate life at the turn of the 20th century, encapsulated in the format of a personal diary. Flandrau's prose is characterized by its wit and keen observational humor, capturing the trials, tribulations, and exuberance that accompany the transition to university life. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving American society, the book explores themes of identity, friendship, and the academic pressures faced by students, all while providing insight into the prevailing cultural norms of the era through a captivating first-person narrative. Flandrau, an American author and journalist, is imbued with a unique perspective shaped by his own experiences as a student at prestigious institutions. His adeptness at satire and ability to infuse humor into serious themes reflects a deep understanding of the adolescent psyche, likely inspired by his formative years. Flandrau's insights into the educational landscape of his time resonate with the experiences of many, making his reflections both timeless and relevant. "The Diary of a Freshman" is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intricacies of student life and the cultural shifts of early 20th-century America. With its blend of humor and introspection, this work not only entertains but also invites readers to reflect on their own educational journeys, making it an essential addition to the canon of American literature.

    There is one last chance to save the democracy George Washington founded. That last chance is Washington himself. 
    It is 2028 and a certain president wants a third term. The Constitution shouldn’t allow it but the Supreme Court has found a workaround. The electoral system has been mangled. The media is a joke. Voters can barely be troubled to vote. But thanks to a team of scientists George Washington has been brought from the past to regain the presidency. Written by New York Times bestselling author Paul Greenberg, A Third Term tells the story of how hard Candidate Washington has to fight to win in these corrupt times. Riddled with pneumonia, possessing dentures fashioned from slave’s teeth, and an aristocratic sensibility tempered by war and religious faith, the Father of Our Country requires considerable rehabilitation to challenge the man he only refers to as “The Tyrant.” Fortunately a wily campaign manager and a sexy personal trainer are there by his side.

    Ever wish you had an immediate snappy comeback or a perfect putdown? We all have, only to later think of what we could— or should— have said. Then who better to call on than Shakespeare, who mastered the art of dramatic conflict with rapier wit rather than swordplay? This audiobook is an entertaining and witty collection of some of the most cutting jeers and outrageous affronts ever spoken. Never miss an opportunity for a well-aimed insult by borrowing from the Bard. With access to Shakespeare's witty world of words, this is the ideal resource for those moments you don't want to let slip by without comment.

    This is the true story of a woman who discovered a fascinating new way of living, refreshingly different to the rat race she had become trapped in. This new world was full of machoism, sexism and a complete lack of political correctness. Brizo entered a world where she was constantly surprised that being her filthy and inappropriate self was instantly accepted and even welcomed. She had glided into the world of sailing. The rough and rugged unkempt sailor types kept her dripping wet both in and out of the water. While Brizo was frustrated with the sexism that exists on deck, she was pleasantly surprised to discover that women are respected for taking charge down below. She found herself in a world where women were given credit for having many lovers and for being assertive in the bedroom. I suppose when the ratio of men is so much higher than that of women, a sailor is grateful he's secured a mermaid on his hook.
