Sinopse

In "The Dreamers: A Club," John Kendrick Bangs crafts a whimsical and imaginative narrative that blends elements of fantasy and satire. Through the lens of a fictional club populated by dreamers, Bangs explores the absurdities of human aspiration and the juxtaposition of dreams with reality. The literary style recalls the playful irony of 19th-century American literature, where humor and social commentary intertwine. Set against the backdrop of an emerging modern age, this work captures the anxieties and hopes of a society grappling with rapid change, while inviting readers to ponder the transformative power of dreams. John Kendrick Bangs was a prolific writer, known for his humorous and often surreal narratives. His background as an editor and journalist allowed him to keenly observe the societal trends of his era, which undoubtedly influenced the thematic concerns of "The Dreamers." Bangs's fascination with the complexities of human nature and his penchant for blending the imaginative with the mundane resonate throughout the text, offering insights into the aspirations and follies of his contemporaries. Readers who appreciate imaginative storytelling infused with humor and social critique will find "The Dreamers: A Club" an exhilarating read. Bangs'Äôs clever prose and delightful characterization invite reflection on the nature of dreams and the whimsical paths they can forge, making this work not only entertaining but also profoundly thought-provoking.

    In the third instalment of the hilarious Adrian Mole series, 16-year-old Adrian navigates his way into adulthood . . . 
     
    Monday June 13th 
    I had a good, proper look at myself in the mirror tonight. I've always wanted to look clever, but at the age of twenty years and three months I have to admit that I look like a person who has never even heard of Jung or Updike. 
     
    Adrian Mole is an adult. At least that's what it says on his passport. But living at home, clinging to his threadbare cuddly rabbit 'Pinky', working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life, Pandora, has proved to him that adulthood isn't quite what he expected. 
     
    Still, without the slings and arrows of modern life what else would an intellectual poet have to write about . . .

    Hey Jesus It’s Me - I Have...

    Instagram star and comedian Ellen Skrmetti shares stories behind her wildly popular “Hey Jesus, It’s Me” sketches of a middle-aged, southern-woman's opinions on mamas, menopause, and menus—and on giving the Lord a bit of advice about those unspoken prayer requests.  As a young girl, Ellen Skrmetti loved performing. She starred in plays, sang in the church choir, and even competed in the Miss Mississippi pageant. But despite this she was gripped by severe stage fright and made a deal with God: If you help me get through this, I will never, ever get onstage again. After successfully hitting the high note in “Adelaide’s Lament” from Guys and Dolls, she packed up her drama clothes for good—or so she thought.     When the pandemic hit, Ellen longed to bring a little joy to the world. She thought about all of times she’d asked Jesus to walk with her through pain and heartache—and how often He’d laughed with or comforted her, even during her blazing hot flashes. So she decided to share that message with others, in 30-second videos on Instagram that quickly went viral.      Holding a remote control in her hand, Ellen "calls" Jesus with comments and questions, including asking Him not to make her an advance maternal age mama (again) and if He could bless the nourishment of her food to someone else’s body. She also asks for advice when her best friend’s ex-husband’s new wife shows up in the next pew, or what nursing home plans to make when she's eight years past her first geriatric pregnancy.     From a pageant queen with stage fright, to viral videos, to her growing popularity as a stand-up comedian, Ellen’s humor is rooted in southern charm and culture. Her relatable stories in Hey Jesus, It’s Me will bring levity to our lives, or at least some validation that we’re not the only ones asking if we can ghost our relatives in heaven.
