Sinopse

Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (Illustrated Edition) is a pivotal work in American literature, often hailed as a profound exploration of themes such as race, identity, and moral growth. Through the eyes of young Huck, Twain's vivid prose captures the essence of pre-Civil War America, employing a distinctive vernacular that breathes life into the characters and their journeys along the Mississippi River. The illustrations complement Twain's rich narrative, providing a visual context that enhances the reader's immersion into the socio-cultural dynamics of the era while tackling issues of societal hypocrisy and the quest for freedom. Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was raised along the Mississippi River, which profoundly influenced his writings and worldview. His experiences as a riverboat pilot, journalist, and gold prospector provided him with a unique lens through which he examined the human condition, particularly the complexities of American society. Twain's disillusionment with the prevailing attitudes concerning race and morality in his time prompted him to craft this powerful narrative, offering a candid critique that still resonates today. This illustrated edition of Huck Finn is highly recommended for readers seeking both entertainment and enlightenment. Twain's nuanced storytelling and keen observations invite reflection on the moral dilemmas faced by Huck, making it a timeless exploration of freedom, friendship, and the conflict between societal norms and personal conscience. Dive into this seminal work for a profound literary experience that challenges us to examine our own beliefs and biases.

    "I was overwhelmed by this book. It's raw, and honest and gut wrenching. And at the same time, it's funny, full of pathos and so cleverly, bravely, exquisitely written. The style is so fresh, so seamless, I can't image the work that went into turning this so personal story into such a perfect work of fiction, of entertainment. Little snatches of life, little moments crafted out of pain and experience and truth into something cinematic, gripping. I loved it, even while being upset by it, being overawed by the courage and talent of the author. I finished it in a flash, and had to order it for a friend of mine far away." Jo - Reader review

If you enjoy a book that's real and raw and honest then try this, it's a brave subject matter, the plot is character led and will stay with me for years to come." Reader review 
    "An accomplished and impeccably penned narrative through difficult and challenging human territory. By the time you have read this novel you will emerge more human than when you went in. And this is the litmus test of all literature." Christopher Rush

    Bruce Morgan is worried. His wife and fellow investment broker Melissa has just texted him--begging him to come up to her office. When he arrives, he finds her surrounded by four of her colleagues--three men and one woman--and they are livid over her recent insistence that they diversify their clients’ portfolios...with cannabis stocks! Now, their clients are angry, management is angry, and their careers are in jeopardy. Livid? Frankly, her colleagues are enraged.
     
    Now, Bruce Morgan is scared.
     
    These people want justice. They want restitution. And, after a brief huddle, they announce that a bare-bottom spanking be administered to Melissa by all of them. Naturally, the three male colleagues want her clothes to come off first.
     
    Now, Bruce Morgan is confused.
     
    With his wife now undergoing the most humiliating experience imaginable, he should feel sorry for her. And he does. It's just that, well, their sex-life has been more or less nonexistent ever since Melissa began obsessing over her work. So, the opportunity to witness this very arousing spectacle is overriding his compassion and making him very aroused, indeed.
     
    And the "thoroughness" of Melissa’s colleagues in "evening the score" quickly brings the spectacle to an almost unimaginable level of humiliation. And titillation.
     
    Now, Bruce Morgan is thrilled.
     
    Guilt-ridden to the hilt, this frustrated hubby is nonetheless becoming so aroused seeing what his wife is being put through that, well, he just can’t resist joining in on the fun!
     
    This is Book #6 in J.C.'s latest series: "My Wife--Submissive at Last"--a collection of titillating tales featuring horny, hard-up, and harried husbands who find themselves in newfound positions of power and dominance over their demanding, controlling, and sexually conservative wives.

    I never thought my perp walk would lead to true love. Then again, I never thought I’d be arrested on RICO charges and hauled away in zip ties on camera for the world to see, minutes after closing the most amazing deal of my career. And all of it in front of my biggest rival, billionaire wunderkind Ian McCrory. I am broke. I am disgraced. I am alone. I am a sucker. But the worst part? I have to go back to my hometown and live in my bedroom filled with relics from my childhood. Lisa Frank never made me so mad before. Just when I needed a rescue, I got one — in the form of help from my biggest rival. He can’t bring back my money. He certainly can’t bring back my reputation or my pride. But there’s one thing he can bring back to me. A sense of hope. Maybe even love. Ian sees something in me no one else does, and he’s relentless about making me see it, too. As we grow closer, I’m starting to see that while my entire life used to be a lie, the truth is staring me in the present — and it’s a truth I like very, very much, hot eyes and gorgeous smile and all. But I have to be careful. I can’t be too — That’s right. Hasty. The final book in the USA Today bestselling Do-Over Series (Fluffy, Perky, Feisty), as Mallory's sister, Hastings Hasty Monahan gets her turn at a happily ever after that starts off with an arrest. Hers. And ends with a surprisingly cheesy happily ever after.
