Fritze Lorenz Blossoms

Romy van Mader

Sinopse

Fritze Lorenz is a blond, curly-haired potato farmer. He wears worn-out, squeaky rubber boots and blue overalls with a large, colorful knitted chest pocket. He is actually a very talented knitter and a clever, but also very grumpy fellow. On his old farm, you meet all sorts of animals, some he has found, some have run to him, and some have been given to him. He has provided most of these lovable creatures with colorful woolen garments. Hen Sonja, for example, wears a cozy yellow pullover dress because she simply can't grow any feathers. The actual boss of the farm, the one-eyed cat Pierre, has been knitted a fine pirate eyepatch. And then there's the grand dame named Schweinenase, who wears a petrol blue pullover. As a brave piglet, she escaped from a terrible pig farm and fled across wide fields and meadows to Fritze Lorenz. And there are many other personalities. Yes, Fritze Lorenz has a big family, and he is loved by everyone, and of course he loves all his friends too. But somehow he has lost all joy of life. Far too much crap happened around him, so that every day he trudges across his yard with a waving hand and a grumpy "Ach!" Until one day something almost impossible happens.

Who's Gonna Drive You Home? - 50...

Charles Brickfield

Adapted from the 2015 book Bad Uber, an unintentional antiwork novel. A true account of leaving a worthy career to join the gig economy. 
As the Uber phenomenon takes over London with its minicab booking app, destroying the trade of the world-famous black cab, trampling history under wheel and smashing prices, Charles Brickfield brings us the life of an Uber driver. 
This audiobook tracks his first fifty days - from complete novice, to the Christmas party season and New Year's Eve, through to the so called 'Kipper Season'. Brim full of anecdotes delivered with pathos and humour in equal measure, Brickfield offers an authentic voice, not a cynic, just one of the thousands who needed a job and chose to work the night shift, to tickle London’s underbelly as time is called at the bar. Brickfield may be an inept driver, but he is an extremely adept author. 
As we speak, the map of London is live and the giant game of cat and mouse is in play. 
Five stars, old boy! Thanks for the ride.

Enough Rope

Dorothy Parker

“If I abstain from fun and such, / I'll probably amount to much, / But I shall stay the way I am, / Because I do not give a damn.” 
  
American poet Dorothy Parker lived a life of heartache and hardship, but her writing became her weapon to fight back. She refused to temper her strong opinions, even at the cost of her editorial position at Vanity Fair. Parker continued to write—unfiltered and unapologetic—and found solidarity in community with other writers. Enough Rope was Parker’s first volume of poetry, featuring poems originally published in Life, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker. Parker’s poetry has galvanized generations of strong-willed women, and the fire in her voice burns strong even a century after the first publication.
