Beschreibung

In "Peck's Sunshine," George W. Peck invites readers into a satirical and humorous exploration of American life in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds through a series of whimsical anecdotes and tall tales, reflective of the picaresque literary style, combining exaggerated characters and situations with sharp social commentary. Peck's deft use of wit and parody serves as both entertainment and illumination, addressing the cultural norms and absurdities of his time while optimizing the accessibility and engagement typical of popular literature in the post-Civil War era. George W. Peck was an influential figure in American journalism and humor, known for his adept storytelling and comic sensibilities. His experiences as a newspaper editor and political commentator greatly informed his writing, providing him with a rich tapestry of societal observations that he cleverly distills through the lens of humor. Given the context of his era, Peck's work reflects the burgeoning national identity and the complex social issues that marked the Gilded Age. For those interested in the interplay of humor and social critique, "Peck's Sunshine" is a delightful read that expertly balances levity with thought-provoking insights. Peck's unique voice will resonate with modern readers while enriching their understanding of historical American humor.

    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.

    Some secrets were buried for a reason. Charlie Hudson just dug them up. 
    Charlie isn’t a hero. He’s not a genius, a spy, or the guy who saves the day. He’s just an ordinary investigator sent to check out a classified site beneath the Antarctic ice. The mission? Simple. Look for anomalies. Report back. Don’t ask questions. 
    Too bad he asks a lot of questions. 
    When Charlie and his team uncover a lost civilization hidden for thousands of years, history itself starts to unravel. The past is changing. The sky is cracking. And something out there already knows his name. 
    Now, Charlie is on the run from shadow organizations, ancient beings, and a reality that’s breaking apart at the seams. Armed with nothing but his wit, a team of misfits, and a very loose grip on physics, he must solve the mystery before history is erased forever.

    Neighboring small towns, Coon Creek and Golden Springs, Ohio, enter their own little war, and may never be the same after the coming Fourth of July celebration. 
    Coon Creek, a conservative, industrial, blue-collar town, has seen better days. Golden Springs is home to Antaeus College, a private institution with a tradition of liberal politics. No love lost between those two. 
    Mazie Tuttle, a professional dog walker, knows both towns well. Born and raised in Coon Creek, she enrolls in the Antaeus College summer literary program being taught by the famous radical novelist and pie lover, Roscoe Alolo. As tensions flare between the two towns over a statue of Coon Creek’s founding father standing in the town’s square, one act of vandalism follows another, and Mazie increasingly feels caught in the middle of the hostilities. 
    Groups in both towns plot to disrupt the other’s Fourth of July celebration. On one side, the schemers include Mazie’s brother, her ex-boyfriend turned drug dealer, and a Methodist minister who’s running for mayor. On the other, Professor Alolo urges his class to take action to “liberate” Coon Creekers. 
    Sooner or later, Mazie will have to take a side. She just doesn’t know which she’ll choose. 
    EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a satirical, down-right funny novel sure to keep a smile on your face.
