Clara in Blunderland: A Political Parody Based on Lewis Carroll's Wonderland
ISBN: 9781904808497 / Angielski / Miękka / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Caroline Lewis is a pen-name, that of the team of Edward Harold Begbie, J. Stafford Ransome, and M. H. Temple, who wrote both "Clara in Wonderland" and a sequel, "Lost in Wonderland." These two novels deal with British frustration and anger about the Boer War and with Britain's political leadership at the beginning of the twentieth century. -- But this book is not a stuffy study in early twentieth-century British politics -- it is a splendid parody, amusing as much for what it parodies as for its reflection of Lewis Carroll's originals, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the...

Temple, who wrote two novels dealing with British frustration and anger about the Boer War and with Britain's political leadership at the beginning of the twentieth century.

ISBN: 9781904808565 / Angielski / Miękka / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. John Kendrick Bangs (1862-1922) was born in Yonkers, New York, and is known for his work as an author, editor, and satirist. He worked for "Life," a number of "Harper's" periodicals, and "Puck," perhaps the foremost American humour magazine of its day. In "Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream"-first published in 1907-Bangs makes light of a range of economic issues familiar to his readers-these are quite topical and all-too familiar to today's reader as well. High taxes, corporate greed, bribery, institutional corruption, and govern-mental incompetence are amongst the themes of the book....

Adult Child of Hippies
ISBN: 9781897415245 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Do you have a name such as Willow, River, Oak, or Sunshine? Have you ever lived in a commune, or done yoga naked with your family? If yes, then you are an Adult Child of Hippies (ACOH). ACOHs grew up in extreme conditions: eating sprouts, and lugging herbal tea to school in their Thermoses (if they were fortunate enough to make it to school). ACOHs were born and brought up mostly in the 70s and 80s. As their parents reveled in the counterculture, their children struggled with basic hygiene, not to mention broader social acceptance. Until now, this group has not been represented in the media....

ISBN: 9781469955315 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wouldn't it be nice to read a book about relationships that made you laugh instead of point fingers? Now you can. Katherine Black, armed with her biting wit and in-your-face directness, takes on John Gray's over-simplified psycho-babble relationship books and delivers a knockout punch. Read why men couldn't possibly have come from Mars or any planet other than Uranus, how women are responsible for setting up civilization, and why men are inept when it comes to communicating with women. Ms. Black explains what men are trying to say, no matter how they're trying to say it. So if you're looking...

While his actual ability to read and write remains unclear, Charlie sealed the deal...

Advice to Little Girls
ISBN: 9781592701292 / Angielski / Twarda / 16 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. You should ever bear in mind that it is to your kind parents that you are indebted for your food, and for the privilege of staying home from school when you let on that you are sick. Therefore you ought to respect their little prejudices, and humor their little whims, and put up with their little foibles until they get to crowding you too much. When Mark Twain wrote the sparky short story "Advice to Little Girls" in 1865, he probably didn't mean for it to be shown to them. Or maybe he did, since we all know Twain was a rascal. Now, author and illustrator Vladimir Radunsky has...
