This engaging collection of letters gives a quirky picture of family life in Britain under fifteen years of rationing. Everyone and almost everything was affected, from pets to fashion, corsets and turn-ups, to cigarettes, restaurants, heating and petrol, and the availability of fruit, eggs, vegetables and bread, and much more. Millions of people coped with what they had. With direct candour, they wrote letters when they thought improvements could be made, right from the start of rationing, in 1939, until all restrictions were lifted in 1954. In these amusing, honest, surprising, poignant and occasionally hilarious letters you'll find anything from concerns about socks for the Home Guard, children holding up a banana skin for a refill at the greengrocer's, to fear of pets choking when rubber bands reappeared after the War. Slip back in time and enjoy!

Kept in a bird-coop by his parents, Sunny McCreary endured a childhood of neglect, abuse and being bullied by pigeons, only to find it was all downhill from there. In the course of the most painful life ever, he survived tragedy and maiming, a savage convent school education, being pimped out in pink-satin hot pants, a degrading addiction to helium, and having a baboon's arse grafted onto his face. Then things got really bad. More horrible than A Child Called It, more heartrending than Ugly, more repulsive than the Alastair Campbell diaries, My Godawful Life is the misery memoir to end all misery memoirs and the feel-bad book of the year. "At last, a book to satirise the endless parade of misery memoirs. I seized upon this like manna from Heaven ... A glorious overload of dysfunction." Sue Baker, Publishing News

R223 Discovery Miles 2 230 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Divertentissimi, grotteschi, satirici, paradossali, questi racconti sono stati scritti a quattro mani nell'arco di vent'anni. Sono la parodia sciocchina e divertente dei romanzi rosa... Alcuni sono decisamente datati, altri fiammanti e chiaramente piu attuali. Il genere "rosa," come tutti i generi, e serio e sognante, serve (soprattutto al pubblico femminile) per uscire dalla dura realta quotidiana fatta di uomini esigenti e padroneschi, da una societa spietata e da alcuni topos e logos decisamente antifemminili, anche se alcuni romanzi sono autentici capolavori. Purtroppo, il romanzo rosa e stato a volte utilizzato proprio in funzione "antifemminile," per convincere il pubblico che si... La vita e dura... Ma che l'amore trionfa sempre. Donne, il principe azzurro si trasforma quasi sempre in un ciccione ciabattante che rutta e scorreggia, a volte si fila le amiche della moglie e, in qualche caso, persino delle figlie... Ecco cio che troverete in questo libro...

Chi ti ha programmato? (Italian, Paperback): Riikka Erkko Chi ti ha programmato? (Italian, Paperback)
Riikka Erkko; Translated by Pauliina Deanna; Jouni Aalto
R434 Discovery Miles 4 340 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Il libro di favole di Jouni Aalto e un libro per i piu grandi. Si tratta di scritti che affrontano con energia il tema della menzogna umana e della societa. Lo stile di Aalto spazia tra il cinismo e un acuto umorismo. L'autore ci invita a riflettere sui motivi che spingono l'uomo a voler vivere in un mondo fittizio e a credere, secondo le situazioni, a qualcosa che va contro la ragione. L'occultamento della verita e l'affabulazione sono la chiave fondamentale per aver successo nella vita. L'uomo che non impara a mentire, resta ai margini della societa. Viene considerato un outcast. La falsita ci raggiunge ovunque. I genitori, la scuola, la chiesa, l'esercito e tanti altri impulsi della societa ci programmano come robot che non sanno riconoscere la verita vera. Leggendo il libro di Aalto il lettore puo ridere e disperarsi. Jouni Aalto ha conseguito il titolo di dottore di ricerca. E noto per i suoi pamphlet sarcastici ma che comunque ci spingono a sorridere.

John Kendrick Bangs; Illustrated by Albert Levering; Foreword by Michael Everson
R291 Discovery Miles 2 910 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

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 governmental incompetence are amongst the themes of the book. Bangs' "Alice in Blunderland" relies more on absurdity than it does on nonsense, and some of the humour is indeed rather American. But Bangs' success is to make his reader smile wryly rather than laugh out loud-for his satire is very much on target.
