Sinopse

In "Fish Preferred," P. G. Wodehouse continues to showcase his signature wit and keen observational humor, crafting a delightful narrative that revolves around the charming yet chaotic world of upper-class British life. Written during the early 20th century, a period ripe with social change, the plot cleverly intertwines themes of class, romance, and farcical misadventures. Wodehouse's unique literary style, characterized by his precise language and comic timing, invites readers into an engaging tableau that features a memorable cast of characters, including hapless protagonists and cunning socialites, all navigating their way through the absurdities of existence. Wodehouse, an English author renowned for his prolific contributions to comedic literature, draws inspiration from his own experiences of British society, as well as his keen insight into human nature. Growing up amidst the complexities of Edwardian upper-class life, Wodehouse's acute observations enable him to construct genuinely humorous scenarios that resonate with readers. His background in journalism and theater further equips him with a remarkable ability to create dialogues rich with both nuance and absurdity, enriching the narrative tapestry of "Fish Preferred." This enchanting novel should be embraced by anyone with an appreciation for intelligent comedy and a yearning for escapism within the nuances of aristocratic folly. Wodehouse's delightful prose and lovable characters will amuse and entertain, making this work an essential addition to the library of literary humor.

"Candide, or Optimism" is a satirical novella written by the French philosopher Voltaire, first published in 1759. It follows the adventures of the young Candide, who is raised in a utopian world and taught that “all is for the best.” The narrative takes him through a series of misfortunes, exposing him to the harsh realities of the world, ultimately leading him to question his optimistic beliefs. Voltaire uses Candide’s journey to satirize religion, governments, the military, and the philosophy of optimism, particularly as espoused by Leibniz. "Candide" is considered one of the greatest achievements of Western literature

A highly entertaining anecdotal collection of humorous life observations during a trip around the world. Travelling by bus to Kathmandu, the author experiences hair-raising misadventures: a chase through Jerusalem, a gun battle in Jordan, a pummelling by a gargantuan masseur in Istanbul, a python in India, and the terrifying James Bond encounter in Australia. His portrait of an Afghani shopkeeper has a bizarre twist. Time-travelling detours punctuate interesting stories about the Taj Mahal, Sydney Opera House, Tahiti, Easter Island statues and Christ in Rio. More than a travelogue, personal insights and character portrayals are underscored by whimsical humour.

“With American on Purpose, Craig Ferguson somehow manages to avoid the pitfalls of self-indulgence and self-importance that plague most (okay, all) Hollywood autobiographies. He has, instead, written a book that is hilarious and irrepressibly daft, yet also kind, poignant, and undeniably wise. It was a joy to read.”  — Dennis Lehane, New York Times Bestselling author of The Given Day 
Ferguson delivers a moving and achingly funny memoir of living the American dream as he journeys from the mean streets of Glasgow, Scotland, to the comedic promised land of Hollywood. Along the way he stumbles through several attempts to make his mark—as a punk rock musician, a construction worker, a bouncer, and, tragically, a modern dancer.  
To numb the pain of failure, Ferguson found comfort in drugs and alcohol, addictions that eventually led to an aborted suicide attempt. (He forgot to do it when someone offered him a glass of sherry.) But his story has a happy ending: success on the hit sitcom The Drew Carey Show, and later as the host of CBS's Late Late Show. By far Ferguson's greatest triumph was his decision to become a U.S. citizen, a milestone he achieved in early 2008. 
In American on Purpose, Craig Ferguson talks a red, white, and blue streak about everything our Founding Fathers feared.
