Sinopsis

It's been a squillion years since Jacinta Nandi arrived in the German capital – and like Jesus, she has suffered, so you don't have to. In this collection of short texts, she'll tell you everything you need to know about stingy male "feminists", oppressive church taxes, unnecessary Anmeldungen – and how to make the perfect German Abendbrot (exhausted cucumbers are key).  

Why are Berlin house numbers so confusing? Why does everyone love dogs and hate babies? And do you really need to learn German to survive in this city?  Join Jacinta on her expatsplaining journey through the German Hauptstadt filled with ketamine and glitter, judgy grannies and scary Beamte, and, of course, Currywurst and pain. A travel guide is nice to have – but this book is essential if you want to survive in Berlin!

    "A situation of the most extreme delicacy, if you follow me..."
    Bertie Wooster has been sent to New York for a brief breather, largely in an effort to escape the formidable shadow of Aunt Agatha. But his peace is short-lived when he is asked to look after "Chump" Cyril—a young man whose enthusiasm for life is matched only by his complete disregard for common sense.
    In Jeeves and the Chump Cyril, Bertie soon finds himself adrift in a most refined kind of trouble. Between Cyril's theatrical ambitions and a letter of introduction capable of blowing Bertie's quiet life to smithereens, logic has quietly stepped outside for fresh air.
    As well-meaning intentions drift ever closer to mild catastrophe, the incomparable Jeeves remains calm, precise, and several moves ahead. It is a sparkling example of the Wodehouse tradition: a world where polished manners glide smoothly over questionable judgement, and where consequences remain—thanks to Jeeves—delightfully negotiable.
    A perfect listen for those who appreciate elegant mischief, impeccable timing, and the fine art of the narrow escape. 
    In short: everything appears under control—which is usually the first warning sign.

    In "The Innocents Abroad Volume 2" by Mark Twain, the journey continues as the travelers explore the Holy Land and other historic regions. Twain’s sharp wit and keen observations persist, blending humor with critique as he contrasts biblical lore with the mundane realities of the places they visit. Through vivid descriptions and satirical commentary, he highlights cultural disparities, human folly, and the often-disappointing gap between expectation and truth. The narrative delves deeper into themes of faith, history, and identity, reflecting on how people romanticize the past while overlooking its imperfections. Twain’s irreverent yet insightful prose captures both the grandeur and absurdity of travel, offering timeless reflections on curiosity and human nature.

    The Pilgrimage

    An erotic nightmare and classic of modern Irish literature. 
     
     
     
    Wealthy and devout, Michael and Julia Glynn are the envy of their neighbors and the model Irish Catholic couple, bearing Michael's increasingly painful and crippling arthritis with stoicism. In hope of a miracle, their priest suggests a family pilgrimage to Lourdes. Yet these pious holiday plans are thrown into doubt when anonymous, obscene letters begin to arrive, full of terrible accusations. 
     
     
     
    Banned in Ireland on its first publication in 1961, Broderick's debut arrived "like an incendiary device" (Sunday Independent). The Pilgrimage anticipated the deep shifts that would soon turn the country's theocratic society upside down. It is a darkly comic, blasphemous, and sexually charged chamber drama laying bare the hypocrisies of a small Irish town "as watchful as the jungle," and teetering on the brink of catastrophe. In the words of Colm Tóibín, in his foreword to this edition, The Pilgrimage "cleared a space in the jungle so that its wildness could be more easily seen." 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
