Sinopsis

The Ultimate Mark Twain Collection is a comprehensive anthology that captures the essence of one of America's most beloved literary figures. This compilation features Twain's most iconic works, infusing humor, satire, and keen social observation, culminating in a rich tapestry of American life in the 19th century. Twain's distinctive narrative voice and wit are on full display, as he navigates themes of race, identity, and the human condition, showcasing his unique ability to blend realism with whimsical storytelling. The collection includes seminal pieces like "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," allowing readers to trace the evolution of Twain's style against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America, enhancing its literary context as both a product of its time and a timeless commentary on society. Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835, grew up along the Mississippi River, an environment that profoundly influenced his literary work. His experiences as a riverboat pilot, gold prospector, and journalist provided firsthand insight into the complexities of American culture and social issues, especially regarding class and race. Twain's commitment to social justice and human rights resonates throughout his writings, making them not only entertaining but also deeply thought-provoking. This collection is highly recommended for both scholars and casual readers alike, offering a thorough introduction to Twain's literary genius. Each story, rich in humor and poignant observation, invites readers to engage with the critical questions of morality and humanity. As the ultimate guide to Twain's oeuvre, this collection serves both as a delightful read and an essential resource for understanding the American literary landscape.

    The real guide to pregnancy, birth and beyond. 
    I’m assuming you’ve picked up this book because you’re either curious about having kids, you’re currently up the duff, or you’re stumbling through the early days of parenthood with a mattress-sized sanitary towel between your legs wondering what the hell has just happened. That, or you’re killing time in WHSmith, waiting for your flight to Ibiza. You lucky bastard. 
    Either way, this book is your pregnancy, birth and postpartum BFF. 
    Welcome to Motherhood, Bitches is your one-stop, no-filter guide to everything from swollen vulvas and dinner-plate areolas; from shitting in labour to the horror of postpartum haemorrhoids; from mindless sleep deprivation to salvaging a sex life when your pelvic floor has hit the floor. But mainly, it’s a reassuring reminder that feeling slightly (or shockingly) out of control with a newborn baby human is entirely normal…we promise. 
    Victoria Emes, in her best-selling autobiography, shares her experiences of childbirth, parenting, and the impact on her marriage. With humour and care, she navigates the reader through the realities of family life and the importance of maintaining health and fitness.

    Joe, who’s abducted along with his girlfriend by a sinister ‘Christian’ cult, which leaves the kids to die, hogtied and helpless in a derelict drainage tunnel slowly filling with sewage. Watched by the world’s media, Winston, Daisy and Bart reunite to use fame and the Daisy Chain to save two teenage lives  and their own souls  from the filth that’s about to drown them. Wotcha! is a comic spit in the eye of born again zealots with a wink and a twinkle to the rest of us  but it’s also deadly serious. Mining a rich seam of coalblack humour and sex, drugs and rock and roll, it starts on a bittersweet nostalgia trip and builds up to the pace of a thriller. CONTROVERSIAL STUFF? Its themes and explicit language make this a candidate for one of those ‘parental advisory’ stickers they put on CDs these days. Does that make WOTCHA! a book that people aged under sixteen shouldn’t read? In the author’s opinion  absolutely not. ‘If rude words and references to sex, drugs and rock and roll upset you per se, this book’s not for you. But if you believe, as I do, that a sense of humour is what separates “naughty” from “evil”, I think you might enjoy this story, laugh at the funny bits, think about the serious bits and read the redemption between the lines.’
