Sinossi

In "They and I," Jerome K. Jerome employs his characteristic wit and humorous narrative style to explore the intricacies of human relationships and societal norms. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, the novel unravels tales of domestic life, the follies of human behavior, and the humorous absurdities that arise from societal expectations. Through a rich tapestry of anecdotes and observations, Jerome delves into themes of individuality versus conformity, painting a vivid portrait of life in a rapidly changing society. The book stands out for its playful yet insightful prose, making readers both laugh and ponder the deeper meanings behind the mundane. Jerome K. Jerome, best known for his comedic masterpiece "Three Men in a Boat," was a writer profoundly affected by the societal changes of his time. Living in the fin de siècle period, he became a keen observer of the evolving social landscape, embodying the tension between tradition and modernity in his works. His background as a playwright and humorist greatly influenced his narrative style, infusing irony and levity into serious reflections on life and society. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate sharp wit and keen social commentary. "They and I" offers a delightful exploration of human nature while simultaneously inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences of conformity and individuality. Jerome's engaging writing will resonate not only with fans of classic literature but also with those looking for a humorous yet thought-provoking read.

    After 10 years of professional driving, a taxi driver invites you into his cab to hear all the interesting, salacious, and humorous things that went on and were said. “I’ve seen more shit than most people see in a lifetime,” one young homeless man commented, proud of such a distinguished accomplishment. After a while, this cabbie began feeling the same way, and states: “some entertaining, weird, and even paranormal things took place in my cab, which you won’t want to miss!” These are his memoirs and the account of the haunting dynamics that occurred on his graveyard shifts, when things go bump in the night.

    Literary critic, E. A. Koltonovskaya, described the literary style of novelist Maria Krestovskaya as follows, “Her pen, for all its feminine agility, is often remarkable for its nearly masculine reticence. She has none of the chaotic flood of thoughtless emotions, which so frequently plagues the works by female writers. She does not like lyrical diversions and allows her characters to speak and act for themselves. Even during the most dramatic scenes, her tone remains restrained. Her formulation of women’s issues gives one the sense of a broad, universal foundation. There is none of the narrowness, exclusiveness, and bias so prevalent in the topic as described by ideological feminists.” 
    The story that follows is quintessential Krestovskaya - complete with humor, deftly delivered touches of real life, and ample food for thought.

    It is a fact that the average male bladder can hold approximately a pint of liquid. This quantity is somewhat greater in an Irishman. The bladder of a healthy Irishman can generally hold at least 750ml or nearly one and a half pints. However, there are exceptions to every rule and every so often a male with a much larger capacity than normal appears and with a bit of training and determination his bladder can, in fact, accomodate an amount significantly greater than the average. In the case of Johnny Two Kebabs it is well known that before having to relieve himself he has, on occasion, imbided up to four pints of lager. In this fifth instalment of Johnny's memoirs he relates how his "enhanced bladder capacity" helped prevent a terrorist attack by the Cornish separatist group the C.N.L.O.

    If you’re looking for the perfect holiday read, with lots of romance and laugh out loud comedy, then curl up with the third entry in the Dartmouth Diaries... 
     
    It’s not often that a fledgling career in Event Management kicks off with the wedding of a Hollywood superstar. Of course the fact that this particular Hollywood star is marrying her best friend might have had something to do with the fact that former art gallery owner, Kit Davies landed the job. That, and the fact that she was about to become homeless and penniless… But organizing her friend Victory’s big fat Hollywood wedding in the small yachting haven of Dartmouth without alerting the media is not for the faint hearted, and Kit very quickly realizes that she’s way out of her depth - especially as the bride to be has a secret of her own that is rapidly changing her disposition from a fairy tale Cinderella to a would-be Bridezilla. 
     
    And then there are the ongoing machinations of Victory’s father, who not only has his own agenda, but has decades of experience in the art of being slippery and evasive... 
     
    Inviting Hollywood to Dartmouth might actually be the least of Kit’s worries… 
     
    All For Victory is the perfect laugh-out-loud, feel good book for fans of funny love stories

    In this, the second installment in the How to Steer Your Kid series, M. P. MacDougall returns with a cast of irreverent characters and hilarious, only slightly embellished stories.  
    There’s something for everyone who ever grew up in a somewhat weird family. MacDougall relates a variety of slapstick adventures - from taxidermy gone horribly wrong, to near-drownings while encased in a sleeping bag, to being hunted by a mythical monster with a sadistic sense of humor. Redneck neighbors and red-hot peppers are no match for the erstwhile Jet Screamer. Suffering personal injury to his extremities and personal insults to his psyche, MacDougall survives it all with a steady diet of Meat Sandwiches!
