Synopsis

In "The Jervaise Comedy," J.D. Beresford masterfully intertwines drama with sharp social commentary, exploring the intricate dynamics of human relationships through the lens of love, loss, and the societal expectations of early 20th-century England. The novel is characterized by its witty dialogue and psychological depth, merging elements of realism with subtle humor, thereby creating a rich tapestry that reflects the complexities of contemporary life. The author's keen observations on class distinctions and personal aspirations resonate throughout, offering a poignant critique of the social mores of the time. J.D. Beresford, a prominent figure in early 20th-century literature, often drew from his personal experiences and insights into the shifting social landscape of England. His background as a playwright and novelist, combined with a keen interest in the nuances of human behavior, shaped his writing style. Beresford's works often reflect his belief in the interplay between individual desires and societal expectations, making "The Jervaise Comedy" a fitting exploration of these themes. I highly recommend "The Jervaise Comedy" to readers who appreciate a blend of humor and critical social analysis. This novel engages both the intellect and emotions, inviting readers to reflect on the human condition while being entertained by its captivating narrative and relatable characters.

A wickedly clever satire uses comic inversions to offer telling insights into the nature of man and society. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.Gulliver's Travels describes the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon. In Lilliput he discovers a world in miniature; towering over the people and their city, he is able to view their society from the viewpoint of a god. However, in Brobdingnag, a land of giants, tiny Gulliver himself comes under observation, exhibited as a curiosity at markets and fairs. In Laputa, a flying island, he encounters a society of speculators and projectors who have lost all grip on everyday reality; while they plan and calculate, their country lies in ruins. Gulliver's final voyage takes him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses whom he quickly comes to admire - in contrast to the Yahoos, filthy bestial creatures who bear a disturbing resemblance to humans. This text, based on the first edition of 1726, reproduces all the original illustrations and includes an introduction by Robert Demaria, Jr, which discusses the ways Gulliver's Travels has been interpreted since its first publication. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was born in Dublin.

An absorbing and often hilarious account of the author's 12 years as closeted cabin crew for British Airways.  It's a story of love, creativity and acceptance, the transformative power of lesbian love and more.  Told with the wit and verve that characterised her debut novel, Karen's memoir of flying as cabin crew offers a fascinating insight into the profound impact of long-haul life.  Having come out as a lesbian she is forced to go back in as colleagues advise her that it is not ok to be gay, unlike male cabin crew. Brimming with vertiginous loops and extreme globe-trotting, against a backdrop of exotic locations, hotel bars and nightclubs, Karen slowly unravels as the inability to truly be herself reverberates. This is the story of how Karen finally came into land. How she learned to look after herself and discovered her true strength. "Atmospheric and idiosyncratic, this is a memoir that entertains and emboldens" Observer
