Sinopse

In "Royal Highness," Thomas Mann crafts a nuanced exploration of the interplay between personal ambition and societal expectations set against the backdrop of a fictional European principality. Mann's prose demonstrates his trademark psychological depth and incisive wit, painting a vivid portrait of aristocratic life while dissecting the intricacies of identity and fidelity. The novella is steeped in the early 20th-century context of modernism, echoing the tensions of a rapidly changing Europe, and highlighting themes of individuality versus duty within the rigid structures of nobility. Thomas Mann, Nobel laureate and a pivotal figure in German literature, was deeply influenced by his own experiences within a bourgeois family and the complex socio-political milieu of his time. His examination of the moral dilemmas faced by his characters often mirrors the existential concerns of his own life. "Royal Highness" was written during a period of profound transformation in Mann's career, reflecting his evolving views on fame, identity, and human relationships, and providing insight into the conflicts that plagued both individuals and society. This novella is a must-read for those interested in a masterful allegory of class and identity, where Mann's eloquence reveals the sublime and the absurd in the lives of his characters. Readers will find a rich tapestry of thought-provoking themes and literary elegance that not only captivates the mind but also resonates with the broader human experience.

The holiday classic has never been quite this fabulous! It's now the gayest Christmas story ever told. This modern gay adaptation of A Christmas Carol is filled with humor, dirty double entendres, and just the right amount of "Bah, humpstud!" 
This irreverent parody starts off with miserly Ebeneezer Scrooge refusing to let his underpaid, under-appreciated employee Bob Cratchit turn up the heat in the drafty office on Christmas Eve, pointing out that there are other ways for Bob to keep warm and keep his job at the same time! The fun continues from there with new twists on all your favorite classic characters and situations. Enjoy an all gay cast of characters along with the familiar structure, lines of classic dialogue, and the overall story of redemption you remember from the original. 
Listen to A Modern Gay Christmas Carol Parody - you'll have a dickens of a time!

1961 Greenwich Village; a Fable  
Gently comedic and poignant with a fanciful, mythical slant. 
  
          An uplifting tale from an inspirational era. 
  
What if… a whimsical, droll Brit reflects on a magical, wondrous time in his life …? 
What if… a mere sketch of their face could expose a person's true self, for better or for worse…? 
What if… a mediocre artist was called out as a fraud, a folk singer's talent was enhanced and a woman couldn't offend, no matter what audacious things she said…? 
What if… a couple in love, could transcend culture, race, and avarice…? 
  
  It happened in 1961 in Greenwich Village, NY. Or was it just a fable?
