The Twelve Chairs is a classic satirical picaresque novel by the Soviet authors Ilf and Petrov, published in 1928. Its plot follows characters attempting to obtain jewelry hidden in a chair. A sequel was published in 1931. The novel has been adapted to other media, primarily film.Ilf and Petrov gained a high profile for their two satirical novels: The Twelve Chairs (1928) and its sequel, The Little Golden Calf (1931). The two texts are connected by their main character, Ostap Bender, a con man in pursuit of elusive riches. Both books follow the exploits of Bender and his associates looking for treasure amidst contemporary Soviet reality. They were written and are set in the relatively liberal era in Soviet history, the New Economic Policy of the 1920s. The main characters generally avoid contact with lax law enforcement. Their position outside the organized, goal-driven, productive Soviet society is emphasized. It also gives the authors a convenient platform from which to look at this society and to make fun of its less attractive and less socialist aspects. These are among the most widely read and quoted books in Russian culture. The Twelve Chairs was adapted for ca. twenty movies; in the Soviet Union (by Leonid Gaidai and by Mark Zakharov), in the US (in particular by Mel Brooks), and in other countries.The two writers also traveled across the Great Depression-era United States. Ilf took many pictures throughout the journey, and the authors produced a photo essay entitled "American Photographs," published in Ogoniok magazine.

Parmi ces trois nouvelles, lisez d'abord La Duchesse de Planoise, récit impitoyable du naufrage de deux personnages rongés par les ombres de leurs sombres histoires familiales prêts à sacrifier toute moralité sous les projecteurs du vice et des jeux de pouvoir. Dans un Besançon aux multiples visages, chacun cherche une échappatoire, un prétexte, une excuse à sa condition. Mais le jeu est truqué, et lorsque des destins tragiques se croisent, la détonation de deux mondes en collision devient inévitable. Embarquez pour une virée glaçante dans l'âme humaine avec cette nouvelle incisive qui dépeint sans fard la réalité d'individus pathétiques dont les vies se consument au nom d'une liberté illusoire. Laissez-vous guider ensuite par Catherine, un GPS qui propulse Thibault Lemoine, employé d'une société royannaise douteuse, au beau milieu d'une aventure charentaise totalement rocambolesque. Une odyssée moderne où chaque virage est synonyme d'imprévu et chaque sens interdit d'absurde. Enfin, grimpez à bord du voilier Aurora avec le capitaine Alain qui vous ouvre une fenêtre sur l'univers impitoyable de la navigation, où superstitions et réalités se mêlent en un ballet déchaîné de malheurs aussi invraisemblables qu'implacables. Portée par une plume à la précision chirurgicale et à l'humour noir, cette histoire vous emportera au grès des flots, entre éclats de rire et palpitations angoissées. Tenez bon la barre et le vent, suivez le cap de Félipé Caceres Munoz S. qui vous entraîne, tout au long de ce triptyque littéraire résolument déroutant, vers une réflexion sur la fragilité des certitudes dans une société où le contrôle est souvent une illusion.

"Geschichte ist einfach scheißlangweilig, Alter. Tausend blöde Namen und Zahlen, die sich kein Schwein merken kann."So oder so ähnlich kommentieren Schüler oft Geschichte, wie sie in der Schule gelehrt wird. Die "wundersame Geschichte der Menschheit" ist dagegen in einer Sprache geschrieben, die auch für junge Menschen verständlich ist und will kein brottrockener Ballast für ein überfordertes menschliches Gehirn sein. Diese Geschichte soll Jugendlichen und geistig Junggebliebenen Spaß machen und wirft daher ein ironisch-satirischen Blick auf die Entwicklung der Menschheit und auf die offizielle, einseitige Geschichtsdarstellung, die Fakten geflissentlich ignoriert und oft nur der Aufrechterhaltung des gegenwärtigen Wirtschaftssystems dient. Hochtrabende Geschichtsmythen werden in diesem Buch von ihrem Sockel gestoßen und der Lächerlichkeit preisgegeben, der Unsinn vieler geschichtswissenschaftlicher Begriffe und Behauptungen drastisch vor Augen geführt.

You loved BAD SUMMER PEOPLE. Now, get ready for something even more delicious...*****One weekend in paradise.Ten dysfunctional colleagues.A billion dollar deal.The Aurora management team are so close to their wildest dreams. Yes, there are tensions. Bitter grudges. Illicit affairs. But if they can just hold it together for a few days at a corporate retreat in Miami, the sale of the company will go through, and each of them will be set for life.But after one night out, they wake up to discover one of the group is missing.They knew they couldn't trust each other. But they never suspected anyone might be capable of murder...

A desperate young publicist tries to save her career by turning the charismatic leader of a grungy retreat center into the hot new self-care brand in this “wryly funny [and] fabulous debut novel” (The New York Times Book Review).“A satire both cutting and careful in its approach, The Glow is a triumph.”—ElleA GLAMOUR AND LIT HUB BEST BOOK OF THE YEARJane Dorner has two modes: PR Jane, twenty-five, chummy, and eager to sell you a feminist vibrator or a self-care/bereavement subscription box; and Actual Jane, twenty-nine, drifting through mediocre workdays and lackluster dates while paralyzed by her crushing mountain of overdue medical bills. When her job performance is called into question, Jane’s last-ditch effort to preserve her livelihood and pay off her debt is to land a white whale of a client.Enter the impossibly gorgeous Cass—whom Jane discovers scrolling through Instagram—and her unassuming husband, Tom, proprietors of a “wellness retreat” based out of a ramshackle country house that may or may not be giving off cult vibes. Suddenly Jane realizes she might have found the one ladder she can climb—if she can convince them that transforming Cass herself into a high-end wellness brand is the key to all three of their futures. Magnetic yet mysterious, Cass is primed to be an influencer: She speaks in a mix of inspirational quotes and Zen koans, eats only zucchini (the most spiritually nourishing vegetable), and has baby-perfect skin. Despite Tom’s reticence about selling out, Jane sets out to mold Cass into the kind of guru who can offer inner peace and make your skin glow—all at a hefty price, of course. As Jane reckons with her own long-dormant ambitions, she wonders: Can a person really “do good” for others while profiting off them? And what parts of our selves do we lose when we trade power, influence, and beauty?Sparklingly plotted, deliciously deadpan, and irresistibly entertaining, The Glow is a razor-sharp sendup of an industry built on the peculiar intersection of money and wellness, where health is a commodity and self-care a luxury.

"There's been a sensational murder at historic Castle Kinloch, a gothic fantasy of grey granite on a remote island in the Highlands of Scotland. Literary superstar Brett Saffron Presley has been found dead--under bizarre circumstances--in the castle tower's book-lined study. Years ago, Presley purchased the castle as a showpiece for his brand and to lure paying guests with a taste for writerly glamour. Now it seems, the castle has done him in--or possibly, one of the castle's guests has. Detective Chief Inspector Euan McIntosh, a local with no love for literary Americans, finds himself with the unenviable task of extracting statements from three American lady novelists"--

Franz Kafka meets Yorgos Lanthimos in this provocative new novel from one of America’s most brilliant and distinctive writersIn a speculative future, Abel, a menial worker, is called to serve in a secretive and fabled jury system. At the heart of this system is the repeat room, where a single juror, selected from hundreds of candidates, is able to inhabit the defendant’s lived experience, to see as if through their eyes.The case to which Abel is assigned is revealed in the novel’s shocking second act. We receive a record of a boy's broken and constrained life, a tale that reveals an illicit and passionate psycho-sexual relationship, its end as tragic as the circumstances of its conception.Artful in its suspense, and sharp in its evocation of a byzantine and cruel bureaucracy, The Repeat Room is an exciting and pointed critique of the nature of knowledge and judgment, and a vivid framing of Ball's absurd and nihilistic philosophy of love.

Sex wird Thema Numero Uno auf einer bunten italienischen Insel, nachdem Alberto eine spektakuläre Liebesnacht mit der Schauspielerin Aurelia nachgesagt wird. Aurelia soll dabei unzählige Male lautstark gekommen sein. Dabei ist an diesem Gerücht nichts dran. Schade für Alberto. Dennoch beginnen die Inselbewohnerinnen, den vorher so unscheinbaren Alberto mit ganz anderen Augen zu sehen...Mit unterhaltsamer Leichtigkeit nimmt die humorvolle und clevere Gesellschaftssatire die vorherrschenden Geschlechterrollen und Klischees unserer übersexualisierten Gesellschaft aufs Korn und thematisiert nebenbei die Macht der vorschnellen Meinung und Gerüchte.

Evelyn Waugh, an English author, first published his novel Decline and Fall in 1928. Decline and Fall was Waugh's first published novel; his previous attempt, The Temple at Thatch, was destroyed while still in manuscript form. Waugh's schooling at Lancing College, undergraduate years at Hertford College in Oxford, and experience as a teacher at Arnold House in north Wales all play a role in Decline and Fall. It is a social satire that uses the author's distinctive black humor to mock various aspects of British society in the 1920s. The novel's title is a shortened version of Edward Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. In addition, Spengler's The Decline of the West (1918-1922), which argued that the rise of nations and cultures is inevitably followed by their eclipse, also serves as an allusion in the novel's title.Waugh read Gibbon and Spengler while writing his debut novel. Waugh's satire is unmistakably hostile to much that was popular in the late 1920s, with "themes of cultural confusion, moral disorientation, and social bedlam...both drive the novel forward and fuel its humor." According to Waugh, the "undertow of moral seriousness provides a crucial tension within [Waugh's novels], but it does not dominate them."In his 'Author's Note' to the first edition, Waugh stated, 'Please bear in mind throughout that IT IS MEANT TO BE FUNNY.'

In the vein of Where'd You Go, Bernadette and Fleishman Is in Trouble, a wickedly funny and incisive epistolary debut novel following a mother trapped in the rat race of NYC parenting as her life unravels.It takes a village...just not this one. Annie Lewin is at the end of her rope. She's a mother of three young children, her crypto-VC husband is never around, and the vicious competition for spots in New York City's kindergartens is heating up. A New York Times journalist-turned-parenting-advice-columnist for an internet start-up, Annie can't help but judge the insanity of it all--even as she finds herself going to impossible lengths to secure the best spot for her own gifted and precocious son, Sam.As Annie comes to terms with the infinitesimal odds of success, her intensifying rivalry with hotshot divorce lawyer Belinda Brenner--a deliciously hateful nemesis, what with her perfectly curated bento box lunches, effortless Instagram chic, and expertly coiffed son Brando, who's been studying Suzuki violin seemingly from birth--pushes her to the brink. Of course, this newly raw and unhinged version of Annie is great for the advice column: the more she spins out, the more clicks and comments she gets.But when she commits a ghastly social faux pas that goes viral, she's forced to confront a single question: is she really any better than the cutthroat preschool parents she always judged?A shimmering epistolary novel incorporating emails, group texts, advice columns, newspaper profiles, and more, Plays Well with Others is a whip-smart, genuinely funny romp through the minefield of modern motherhood. But beneath its fast-paced, satirical veneer, Brickman gives us a fresh, open-hearted, all-too-real take on what it means to be a parent--fierce love, craziness, and all.

"These rediscovered tales were written by Terry Pratchett under a pseudonym for British newspapers during the 1970s and 1980s. The stories have never been attributed to him until now, and might never have been found, were it not for the efforts of a few dedicated fans. As Neil Gaiman writes in his introduction, 'through all of these stories we watch Terry Pratchett becoming Terry Pratchett.' Though none of the short works are set in the Discworld, all are infused with Pratchett's trademark wit, satirical wisdom, and brilliant imagination, hinting at the magical universe he would go on to create"--

De forgjorte komedianter er blandt meget andet et forsøg på at give en humoristisk stemme til de af os, der måske ikke ved første alarm gør knæfald for al den politiske finpudsethed, der regimeagtigt trækkes ned over hovedet på befolkningen for tiden. Jeg får kvælningsfornemmelser af al den komiske korrekthed og står i klar opposition til alle de håbløst konstruerede moderniteter, der kun må menes noget om, når meningen er rigtig, woke-fähig og godkendt af flagesaltsegmentet. Forskrækkelsen har sat sig så dybt, at vi, de mange, på det nærmeste er blevet håndsky og handlingslammede. Det er skræmmende, når vi i rusen af mangfoldighedsfejringen oplever, at diversiteten samtidig skrumper. Var det meningen? Hvad er egentlig meningen?

Wer mir auf Facebook folgt, kennt die Geschichten über meinen besten Freund Karli, die ich seit 2018 in unregelmäßigen Abständen poste. Ich glaube sogar, die meisten amüsieren sich tatsächlich darüber. Jedenfalls ist es nur so erklärbar, dass mehrfach der Wunsch an mich herangetragen wurde, diese Geschichten zu sammeln und in Buchform herauszugeben. Ich habe das stets abgelehnt oder verschoben, weil ich das meinem Karli einfach nicht antun will. Aber meine Kinder studieren jetzt, und ich bin alt und brauche das Geld. Sorry, Karli!Natürlich heißt Karli in Wahrheit nicht Karli. So gemein bin ich auch wieder nicht. Ich habe einfach einen Namen genommen, der weit verbreitet ist, um die Spur zu Karl-Heinz S. zu verwischen. Außerdem sagt sowieso niemand "Karl-Heinz" zu ihm, alle nennen ihn seit unserer gemeinsamen Schulzeit immer nur "Karli", sogar seine besseren Hälften. Karli hatte über die Jahre nämlich verschiedene bessere Hälften, lediglich seine schlechtere Hälfte blieb immer gleich, und von der lest ihr in diesem Werk, denn mit ihr (grammatikalisches Geschlecht, nicht physisches!) bin ich ja befreundet.
