Beschreibung

Misunderstandings, madness, and mayhem abound when a sea dog takes on a determined mother in this hilarious novel set amid the Merchant Marine Academy.   Commodore Robert S. Dickey, second in command at the US Merchant Marine Academy, is desperate to become the top brass. But, so far, his attempts to get the lazy, skirt-chasing Admiral Johnson out of his way have all gone awry. When his latest scheme backfires, he finds himself up against a puzzling new hurdle—his one-time partner-in-crime is tired of dealing with WASPs at the academy. He announces he will settle for nothing less than a bona fide Jew at the command position.   While the Merchant Marines are about as WASPy as it gets, Dickey soon discovers there is a Captain Tannenbaume among the ranks. Now he’s caught in a battle of wits with the captain’s formidable mother, who’s determined to make her precious bubbeleh the next one to take the conn. While Dickey works tirelessly to prove the captain is a gentile, Mrs. Tannenbaume must do everything in her power to turn her son and his nineteen-year-old Thai barmaid wife into the perfect Jewish couple.   Outrageous, bawdy, hilarious, and unexpected, this convoluted oddball comedy in the P. G. Wodehouse vein is guaranteed to have even the most land-loving reader rolling with laughter.

    The Pharaoh and the Priest (Polish: Faraon) is the fourth and last major novel by the Polish writer Boleslaw Prus. It was the sole historical novel by an author who had earlier disapproved of historical novels on the ground that they inevitably distort history. Pharaoh has been described by Czeslaw Milosz as a "novel on mechanisms of state power and, as such, probably unique in world literature of the nineteenth century.... Prus, in selecting the reign of 'Pharaoh Ramses XIII' in the eleventh century BCE, sought a perspective that was detached from pressures of topicality and censorship. Pharaoh is set in the Egypt of 1087–85 BCE as that country experiences internal stresses and external threats that will culminate in the fall of its Twentieth Dynasty and New Kingdom. The young protagonist Ramses learns that those who would challenge the powers that be are vulnerable to co-option, seduction, subornation, defamation, intimidation and assassination. Perhaps the chief lesson, belatedly absorbed by Ramses as pharaoh, is the importance, to power, of knowledge. Prus' vision of the fall of an ancient civilization derives some of its power from the author's intimate awareness of the final demise of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795, a century before the completion of the novel.
