Beschreibung

In "The Licentiate Vidriera (Doctor Glass-Case)," Miguel de Cervantes crafts a rich narrative exploring themes of madness, identity, and societal perception through the lens of a seemingly delusional protagonist. Set in early 17th-century Spain, the story follows the life of a young man who, after a series of unfortunate events, becomes convinced that he is made of glass. Cervantes employs a satirical tone, blending elements of realism and absurdity, while employing his characteristic wit to dissect societal norms and the fragility of human nature. The novella serves as both a poignant commentary on mental health in a time of rigid social hierarchies and an engaging exploration of the thin line between genius and insanity. Cervantes, a pivotal figure in Spanish literature, is often celebrated for his iconic work "Don Quixote." His experiences as a soldier, prisoner, and tax collector exposed him to the complexities and injustices of human existence, likely influencing his portrayal of the character's plight in "Doctor Glass-Case." Cervantes's keen observations of society, combined with his personal struggles, give the work an authenticity that resonates deeply with readers. This novella is highly recommended for those interested in the intersections of mental health, identity, and societal expectations. Cervantes's intricate storytelling offers not only entertainment but also profound insights into human experience, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of reality and perception. "The Licentiate Vidriera" is a timeless reflection on the human condition, making it an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts of literature alike.

    Forget everything you think you know about rugby and join us on the touchline of Warlingham Rugby Club as Steven Gauge leads out the 4th XV. Welcome to the world of mud, sweat and beers… 
    Far away from the bright lights of international rugby, there is another version of the game played by ordinary blokes of all shapes, sizes and degrees of physical ability. Steven Gauge was the last person anyone would expect to find on a rugby field, being somewhat shorter than average, bespectacled and decidedly “unsporty”. But as a gentleman of a certain age when strange life choices are sometimes made, Steven chose to pick up a rugby ball and run with it. He discovered a hidden and hilarious world of convoluted nicknames, creative interpretations of the laws of the game and the inevitable, beer-related, post-match mayhem. But he also found a heartfelt sense of belonging and camaraderie of the kind that only a good, honest team sport can provide.

    “a ruck-load of laughs… one of those rarities in sports publishing: a humorous book which is genuinely funny… [Gauge] is able to recount in full, life in the casual nether reaches of British sport… made me laugh out loud.' - SPORTS JOURNALISTS' ASSOCIATION

    It is 2003 – ten years since Spud Milton’s class of 93 matriculated and the boys went their separate ways. Despite their seemingly unbreakable bond, the Crazy Eight have not kept in touch. Or at least, not as far as Spud knows. When he receives an invitation from the school to attend the ten-year reunion weekend, Spud is determined to avoid the event at all costs, but he hasn’t reckoned with the bombardment of intrusive messages and threatening phone calls from his former dorm mates. No one is going to bend his arm, not this time; he is immune to peer pressure and wise to Rambo’s devious manipulation techniques. Spud has moved on. And, anyway, he has enough to worry about on the home front.At twenty-eight Spud is stuck in a one-third life crisis. Reflecting on a decade of spectacular non-achievement, at a point where he’s coming to realise that his glittering stage career might have stalled before it’s even begun, casts him into deep gloom. For the former scholarship kid, the prospect of once again having to measure up to his blue-blooded school friends – and be found wanting – has him riddled with anxiety. Not only that. Spud still doesn’t have a serious girlfriend, which has seen him resort to a questionable international bath-sexting relationship with an old flame. Not to mention that circumstances have forced him to move back in with his parents and his senile grandmother, Wombat, whose walks never end where they began.After a wildly unsuccessful fishing trip with his father, as well as a return to his old way of figuring things out – writing in his diary – to his own surprise, Spud finds his reunion resistance crumbling. Curiosity and courage win the day. It’s just a weekend, after all . . . what could possibly go wrong?From the bestselling author John van de Ruit. Spud: The Reunion revisits well-loved characters in this nostalgic reunion ten years after graduation.

    Two short tales putting a spin on some common stories. 
    Chosen Ones 
    What happens to teenaged heroes once they've fulfilled the prophecies and saved the world? Well, the lost prince of Atlantis is going to speed dating events in Manhattan, and having a surprising meeting.

    The stories all suggest that the US military would get the cool alien space tech, and we'd have to trust them to do the right thing with it. More likely, the recipients would be random ordinary folk- like a guy out shopping and the woman he's trying to chat up.
