This amusing musical story is set on a farm where potatoes passionately discuss the meaning of life and death through chorus. The green potato is ostracised from the community for boldly standing against the wide held belief that their life is predestined and that death in service of nourishing humans is to be celebrated and welcome. Although the green potato manages to defy the self-sacrifice rule, will he succeed to completely evade fate within the food chain? This Ethiopian allegorical story is a social satire for young people's unwavering belief and reckless behaviour.Zum Buch

Throughout the ages and across the political spectrum, there's always been a place for the dishonourable insult. It doesn't take much for the civilised veneer to crack and a wealth of spleen, invective and innuendo to pour forth. It may not change the course of history, but being skewered in public has sounded the death knell of many a stellar career. In these pages you can revel in more than one hundred years of political venom. From Churchill to Cameron, Balfour to Brown, Curzon to Clegg, Douglas Home to Duncan Smith, Healey to Howard, Macaulay to Milliband, Greg Knight has once again compiled a witty collection of barbes that will provide amusement and a delightful source of reference for anyone searching for the ultimate put-down.Zum Buch
