Sinossi

Classical Satire Function explores how ancient Roman satirists like Juvenal and Horace used humor as a potent tool for political critique and social commentary. These writers dissected the intricacies of Roman society, from political intrigue to moral decay, providing insights into the challenges and opportunities inherent in using satire to shape public opinion. Roman satire served as a powerful means to challenge authority and expose societal ills. This book examines key techniques such as irony and parody, revealing how satire was employed to target individuals, institutions, and societal norms.

 
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with an introduction to satire's development in Roman literature. It then undertakes a detailed analysis of Horace's urbane approach and Juvenal's fiery indignation. By understanding the socio-political contexts that shaped these satirists, readers gain a deeper appreciation of satire's function in contemporary society.

 
The book argues that despite their different approaches, both Juvenal and Horace understood satire's power to provoke thought and effect social change, offering timeless lessons about humor's role in public discourse.

    We Two From Heaven - A Memoir

    'A boldly imagined and beautifully written memoir. Whyle's prose is finely tuned, unflinching in its approach to painful subjects, but also laced with wry humour and the sheer delight of being alive.' – Ivan Vladislavic
    We Two from Heaven is a singular memoir, a four-part fugue on the tricks and traps of memory, a shuffling of the cards of time. Episodes from the early life of writer James Whyle are interwoven with the letters of his father from the Western Front during the First World War. Their formative experiences – war, conscription, injury, desertion – flash by, juxtaposed, as if in counterpoint.
    Upending the reader's expectations of a memoir, Whyle then explores the violence and madness of apartheid society as the narrator passes through boarding school and university and takes his first steps to become a writer. Raw and rhythmic, lyrical and caustic, this is an unsparing, formally inventive dissection of human vanities and illusions.
    At the end of history, on the shores of a blue bay, the voices of the past can be heard as we await the arrival of the barbarians – or the baboons, whoever comes first.

    What if love isn't enough to keep him loyal? What if discipline is the only language he respects? 
    How to Chain a Cheater is not a book for the soft-hearted or the blindly forgiving. It's for the woman who's tired of begging, bleeding, and blaming herself for a man's betrayal. This brutally honest, unapologetically strategic guide exposes what no therapist will tell you: some men don't stop cheating until they're trained, tamed—or replaced. 
    In these pages, you won't find fairy tale advice. You'll find a battle plan. 
    Discover:Why men cheat even when they "love" youHow to install fear, consequence, and accountability without raising your voiceThe psychological warfare that flips the power dynamic in your favorHow to chain a cheater emotionally, financially, sexually—and spirituallyWhen to walk away, when to punish, and when to reward consistency 
    This book is your weapon. It's your shield. It's the reality check every woman needs before wasting another tear on an unfaithful man. With dark humor, razor-sharp insights, and no sugarcoating, author A.A. Castor hands women the blueprint to take control, reclaim respect, and—if you choose to stay—make him fear the price of losing you more than he craves the thrill of betrayal. 
    If you've ever whispered, "He'll change if I love him harder," this book will scream back: 
    "He'll only change when it costs him more to lose you than to keep you."

    The Alice Crimmins Case

    New York, Summer of 1965. 
     
     
     
    One hot summer, two young children disappeared from their first-floor apartment in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens, New York. Their mother, Alice Crimmins, reported them missing to the police. Later that day, the body of four-year-old Missy was found in a vacant lot, showing signs of having been strangled. The body of five-year-old Eddie, Jr., was found several days later. 
     
     
     
    Police were immediately suspicious of the mother. Recently divorced, with teased red hair and heavy makeup, Alice Crimmins did not fit the maternal ideal held by the predominantly Catholic police detectives on the case. Her every action was scrutinized: Was she behaving like a grief-stricken mother or like a coldhearted killer? After three years of police surveillance, Alice was charged with the murder of her children in 1968 in a highly publicized trial. Ultimately found guilty of manslaughter, Alice spent a decade in prison before being released on parole in 1977. 
     
     
     
    But was she truly guilty, or just the victim of police bias and misogynistic judgment? Journalist Anaïs Renevier revisits the case, exploring one of the most famous and divisive trials in recent American history.
