Sinopse

E. F. Benson's "Dodo Trilogy" is a witty and satirical exploration of the intricacies of Edwardian society, focused on the charmingly eccentric character of Dodo. Through a series of interconnected narratives, Benson employs a vibrant literary style that melds sharp social commentary with comedic elements, thereby crafting a rich tapestry that reflects the unspoken behaviors and attitudes of his contemporary British society. The trilogy's structure allows for an intricate development of themes such as identity, social class, and the often absurd nature of modern relationships, all delivered with Benson's trademark elegance and insight. E. F. Benson was a prominent English author and biographer, born into a literary family that undoubtedly influenced his career trajectory. With a background steeped in academia and a keen interest in social dynamics, Benson possessed an acute observational prowess that enabled him to spot the subtleties of human behavior. His own experiences as a prominent figure in social circles of the time enriched the authenticity and liveliness of the characters he created, particularly the captivating Dodo, who remains a memorable fixture in literary history. For readers drawn to sharp wit and astute reflections on early 20th-century life, the "Dodo Trilogy" is a must-read. Benson's engaging prose and incisive commentary invite readers to not only enjoy the comic elements but also reflect on their own societal interactions. This trilogy stands as a significant contribution to the canon of English literature, appealing to both scholars and casual readers alike.

    Set in the village of Cousins Cove, Jamaica, One People plunges us into a small community where everyone knows everyone's business, poverty is a way of life and dreams of escape trickle through fingers. Guy Kennaway's comic novel – sparkling with irreverent wit and written partly in Patwa – is cherished in Jamaica for its humour and humanity. It celebrates the essence of the island, where 'culture is something that comes from the ground up and good times do not require a whole heap o' money'. First published in 1997, the book grew out of the tales that Kennaway listened to on the island during his first ten years as an idle expatriate.

    When Blake Moran starts his new story with, “My wife is HUGE!”, you have to wonder if everything is just going to be downhill after that. But nope, it’s not. Blake finds himself enmeshed in two wild situations—an expanding family and a dead United States Senator. It turns out that Senator Todd Ashford was one of the rare “good ones”, and his death has the strange stench of a political hitjob. But why was he murdered? Working for his favorite billionaire, Mr. Triplehorn, again, Blake heads to Washington, D.C. to try and discover what no one else can. His discovery of a worldwide conspiracy cabal that is attempting to overwhelm and overthrow the Representative Republic of the United States of America will put his life, and the lives of others in danger—but Blake won’t stop. After all, he is the investigator who “finds stuff”. But will the Cabal get him before he gets them?

    In Best Sister Ever we meet Martin, hard at work in an empty office, dismantling the company he has built from the ground up. His bankruptcy cost him his life's work and his marriage. With hardly any money left, he retreats to a small cottage somewhere in the woods in Holland. 
    His sister Kate, 16 years his junior, finds him there and takes him to London. She hooks him up with a job in showbusiness and so begins a mad, hilarious and occasionally erotic adventure, in which Martin meets several amazing women who do much to rebuild his confidence. Martin ends up on stage and as a TV sidekick, but will he get back his IT career? And what is Kate's secret? 
    You'll laugh until you cry over this immensely funny and deeply touching romance story, of a love that truly lasts a lifetime. Prepare to fall in love, because once you have met Kate, Melody, Martin and their friends, you will want to live in their world. 
    This mildly erotic but mostly outrageously funny romp dazzled Literotica readers and has inspired seven more books to date. Ron Dudderie is a comedy genius, who effortlessly switches between heart stopping drama and riotous fun. 
    This audiobook is slightly abridged, to make it accessible to a broader audience.

    Ever feel like the whole world is conspiring against you? 
     
    Jonathon Fairfax can’t even get on the London Underground without bumping into someone he’s desperate to avoid – like Rachel, his first love, who demolished his heart eleven years ago. She tells him that her terrifying uncle (a man Jonathon knows only as ‘the murderer’) is about to be released from prison. 
     
    Does the murderer blame Jonathon for his time inside? Will he seek revenge? 
     
    To find out, Jonathon follows him – until the trail ends at a mysterious north London chicken shop, shrouded in sinister rumours. As Jonathon tries to untangle the truth, he gets drawn ever deeper into a web of conspiracy theorists, organised criminals and evil Etonians. 
     
    But who should Jonathon really be afraid of? The murderer on the loose or bumbling celebrity politician Teddy Robinson? The Russian mafia or the owner of a chain of chicken shops whose fries – if the dark rumours are true – may not be made of potato? 
     
    After all, they can’t all be out to get him … um, can they? 
     
    The Fairfax Redemption is the fourth book in the massively popular Jonathon Fairfax series, sure to be loved by fans of Douglas Adams, PG Wodehouse and Caimh McDonnell.
