Sinossi

In 'Samantha Among the Colored Folks: "My Ideas on the Race Problem,"' Marietta Holley engages with the complex issue of race relations in America during the late 19th century through her distinctive blend of humor and social commentary. Written in the vernacular style for which Holley is renowned, the book captures the voice of her beloved character, Samantha, as she navigates the cultural tensions and prevailing attitudes of her time. Holley employs satire to critique societal norms and expose racial prejudices, making the narrative both entertaining and evocative of the period's wider cultural discourse surrounding race. Marietta Holley, a pioneering female author and social reformer from New York, was deeply influenced by her surroundings and the issues of her time. Her extensive involvement in suffrage movements and her commitment to social justice provided a fertile ground for the exploration of race relations in her works. Holley'Äôs lived experiences, coupled with her keen observational skills, inform 'Samantha Among the Colored Folks,' allowing her to present a thoughtful yet humorous examination of a pressing societal issue. This insightful book is recommended for readers interested in American literature, social justice, and historical perspectives on race. Holley'Äôs unique voice and engaging storytelling provide valuable reflections that resonate today, making it a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of America's racial complexities.

    It’s been an enjoyable and murder-free time for Judith, Suzie and Becks—AKA the Marlow Murder Club—since the events of last year. The most exciting thing on the horizon is the upcoming wedding of Marlow grandee, Sir Peter Bailey. Sir Peter is having a party at his grand mansion on the Thames  
    the day before the wedding, and Judith and Co. are looking forward to a bit of free champagne. 
     
    But during the soiree, the trio hear crash from inside Sir Peter's house. When they rush to investigate, they find the groom-to-be crushed to death in his study! 
     
    The study was locked from the inside, so the police don’t consider the death suspicious. But Judith disagrees. As far as she's concerned, Peter was murdered!

    A new collection of hilarious, intergenerational anecdotes full of absurd detail about everyday experiences of racism from the New York Times bestselling authors of You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey, comedian Amber Ruffin and her sister Lacey.Families may not always see eye to eye; we get on each other’s nerves, have different perspectives and lives—especially when we consider how we've grown up in different generations. But for the Ruffin family and many others, there has been one constant that connects them: racism hasn’t gone anywhere.From her raucous musical numbers to turning upsetting news into laughs as the host of The Amber Ruffin Show or in her Late Night with Seth Meyers segments, Amber is no stranger to finding the funny wherever she looks. With equal parts heart and humor, she and her sister Lacey Lamar shared some of the eye-opening and outrageous experiences Lacey had faced in Nebraska in their first book. Now, the dynamic duo makes it clear—Lacey isn’t the only one in the family with ridiculous encounters to share! Amber and Lacey have many more uproarious stories, both from their own lives and the entire Ruffin family.Recounting the wildest tales of racism from their parents, their siblings, and Amber’s nieces and nephews, this intergenerational look at ludicrous (but all too believable) everyday racism as experienced across age, gender, and appearance will have you gasping with shock and laughter in turn. Validating for anyone who has first-hand experience, and revealing for anyone who doesn’t, Amber and Lacey’s next book helps us all find the absurdity in the pervasive frustrations of racism. Illuminating and packed with love and laughter, this is a must-read for just about everyone.

    Saki's Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the undisputed master of the short story.
    'Tobermory', one of Saki's most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from granting cats the power of speech – animals have long lurked unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in 'The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat' is the only one to enjoy his meal, as is the leopard in 'The Guests'. In 'The Penance' and 'Mrs Packletide's Tiger', hunters who put cats in their sights are humiliated and blackmailed. 'The Achievement of the Cat' considers how cats have come to be served by the human race.
    In addition to the short stories about cats, Saki's Cats also collects Saki's juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted while living in Burma.
    The feisty felines of these tales are the only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail between its legs.
