Sinopsis

Ronald Firbank's 'Caprice' is a witty and satirical novel that delves into the extravagant and absurd lives of the upper class. Written in Firbank's signature style of flamboyant prose and sharp dialogue, the book captures the essence of the English society in the early 20th century. Through its colorful characters and whimsical plot twists, 'Caprice' offers a unique blend of humor and social commentary, challenging the norms of the time with its unconventional storytelling. Firbank's use of irony and wordplay adds layers of depth to the narrative, making it a compelling and thought-provoking read for those interested in experimental literature of the period. Ronald Firbank, known for his avant-garde writing style, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a member of the British upper class to create 'Caprice'. His keen observations of the societal norms and cultural practices of his time are reflected in the novel, showcasing his sharp wit and critical eye. Firbank's unique perspective and bold storytelling set him apart as a pioneering figure in the literary world. I highly recommend 'Caprice' to readers who appreciate unconventional and thought-provoking literature. Firbank's masterful blend of humor, satire, and social commentary makes this novel a must-read for anyone looking to explore the complexities of English society in the early 20th century.

    Still Happy is Elizabeth's second collection of Facebook posts. Her first, Make Someone Happy, did indeed make many people happy, and so, due to popular demand, she has put together a second volume, which includes "The Book of Homer," a tribute to her beloved dog who recently died. Still Happy, like Make Someone Happy, exemplifies Berg's gift, as the Boston Globe said, "in her ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the remarkable in the everyday."

    Many books praise the great man Donald Trump. None of these books praises him enough, though. Because Donald Trump really is the second coming of Christ. In this short article, I will supply several comprehensive pieces of evidence that Donald is the messiah of our time. I will do this by analyzing his policies and comparing his character with Jesus Christ and other prominent religious figures. 
    Hopefully this analyses will enable more people to see the truth about the world, and about the Divine Nature of Donald Trump.

    This is the brand new first series of the audio revival of classic comedy Chelmsford 123, Hat Trick’s first official production for Channel 4.Chelmsford 123 was originally a two-series sitcom set in Roman Britain that brought memorable characters, strong gags and hilarious storylines to the small screen. Using the original scripts as foundation, these four episodes contain all-new material written by Rory McGrath and Jimmy Mulville and are perfect for both fans of the series as well as anyone looking for a bit of comic relief… so come back with us to 123 AD for a generous dose of historical humour.Episode 1 - Arrivederci Roma: It’s 123 AD and the people of Britain are about to receive a new governor from Rome - Aulus Paulinus. This is not the greatest news for the local Trinovantes tribe, so their leader - Badvoc - plots a ‘welcome’ party.Episode 2 - What’s Your Poison?: Whilst Aulus plans a great banquet to improve relations with the local leaders, Grasientus plots to poison Badvoc. Each side hears word of the treachery and believes it aimed at them.Episode 3 - One For The Road: Aulus Paulinus intends to put his mark on Britain by constructing a grand Roman road direct between Londinium and Chelmsford - but there’s a seemingly insignificant settlement in the way.Episode 4 - Heads You Lose: After a trip to inspect the fortifications against the border of Caledonia, Aulus has had enough of Badvoc’s liberty-taking and has him imprisoned under sentence of death. Is this the end of the (Roman) road for Badvoc?Chelmsford 123: The Audio Revival is produced by Hat Trick Productions and Spiteful Puppet Entertainment. This series is narrated by Rory McGrath, Philip Pope, Neil Pearson, Paterson Joseph, Phil Nice, Barnaby Eaton-Jones, Kim Jones, Ben Perkins, Darrell Maclaine, Hannah Boydell and Wink Taylor.
