Das ist die Geschichte eines Mannes, der seit frühester Kindheit mit seinem Namen auf Kriegsfuß steht. Es geht um Verwirrungen und Pannen, vielleicht auch nur um Pech, welches ständig an die Tür klopft oder von unserem Protagonisten scheinbar angezogen wird. Warum aber ein Tanga bei einer Hochzeit `lebensrettend´ sein kann, welche Rolle `Erika´ spielt oder weshalb fröhliche Kinder der Inquisition gleichkommen – all das erfährt der Leser in dieser lustigen und kurzweiligen Geschichte.

The Cosmic Joke is a wildly original, spiritually sharp, and side-splittingly human look at the strange and beautiful mess of modern awakening. This audiobook is for seekers who’ve ever accidentally chanted in the wrong key, meditated through a cat attack, or wondered if that "sacred sign" was actually just a pigeon with bad timing.

A collection of short anecdotes about finding and keeping a job. Career comedy. Job search satire.

Pompiety: A Dialogue of the Damned is a satirical graveyard exchange between contemporaries, Mark Twain and Friedrich Nietzsche, resurrected for one last reckoning on progress, piety, and the fate of a bruised planet. Through sharp dialogue and ecological critique, the two probe the limits of technooptimism, dismantle the determinism inherent to science worship, and wrestle with the moral debris of modernity.

The Stories Behind the Songs brings to life twenty original songs—each transformed into a short story filled with heart, humor, and just the right amount of chaos. Whether it’s a quiet cat who turns out to be a cow (Buttercup the Bovine), a bubble-loving tornado of energy (I Love Bubbles), or a heroic battle against the nightly menace known as The Bedtime Bug, each chapter captures the spirit of a song and spins it into a fully imagined tale.

Un giorno al Biondo e a Quello con la cravatta capita un incarico che richiede un salto di qualità: l'obiettivo è un arcimilionario, un esponente dell'altissima finanza che vive in una favolosa non-zona sospesa tra Londra e Milano. Incassato l'anticipo, però, piovono le complicazioni, in un ottovolante di equivoci, colpi di scena, incidenti, avventure e sconvolgimenti vertiginosamente intrecciati, in ambienti esclusivi ed extra lusso dove si mischiano fondi di investimento e realtà inconfessabili.

As Blandings Castle slumbers in the sunshine, secret passions are astir: Lord Emsworth's niece, Millicent, wants to marry impecunious secretary, Hugo Carmody; and his nephew, Ronnie Fish, wants to marry chorus girl Sue Brown.

For decades, CeCe and Diane ruled New York's elite—frenemies locked in a glitzy battle for social supremacy. Then the FBI showed up. Their husbands vanished with millions in stolen money, leaving the queens of couture with nothing. No assets. No homes. Not even a yacht to fight over. Penniless, homeless, and humiliated, the longtime rivals have no choice but to take refuge in the only place they have left—a crumbling house in Ruinville, Louisiana, inherited from Diane’s long-lost aunt.

A hilarious, no-holds-barred look at the strange, annoying, and downright ridiculous people you meet throughout life — from childhood bullies to office weirdos and in-law invaders. Packed with sharp humor and honest insights, this book shows how dealing with idiots (including yourself) teaches patience, resilience, and maybe a little humility. If you want a refreshingly real and funny take on life’s madness, this is the book for you.

The author is in court with a murderer, she is invited to drink tea from a urine filled pot, she covers theatre and cinema reviews as a London reporter, she works amid opulent carpets and heavy old typewriters with former criminals below in the printing works. She rides a Honda 90 motorbike across the English Fens on her way to cover stories in March, birthplace of the fabled March hare. She writes stories about a drunken turnip planter, a man named Jack Spratt, and another man who didn't travel as far as his own bees.

Melo Paternò, dirigente scolastico ambizioso, arrivista e facilone allo stesso tempo, si ritrova a sottovalutare i docenti e le famiglie degli alunni della scuola da lui diretta, rimanendo schiacciato in prima persona dalla sua grossolana smania di potere e di autoaffermazione.

In un omaggio incondizionato e deferente ad Andrea Camilleri, l'ultimo (!) esperimento narrativo di Valerio Di Stefano.

In a satirical, high-octane future, humanity’s first mission to colonize Mars is sabotaged by the very forces that launched it: corporate greed, political stupidity, rebellious robots, and influencer warfare. What begins as a sleek launch countdown quickly spirals into an interstellar comedy of errors.

As World War 3 looms, How to Prepare Your Cat for World War 3 by Cornelius Capybara delivers a rigorous survival manual to transform your feline companion into a battle-ready operative. Spanning eleven chapters, this guide instructs on constructing cat-sized bunkers, rationing resources, crafting protective gear, and training for espionage, scavenging, urban navigation, chemical detection, and evacuation leadership. Tested with the author’s own General Whiskers, the methods adapt military tactics to household materials—cardboard, foil, laser pointers—ensuring resilience amid chaos.

Wentworth is at his wit’s end. He has no money, his cat’s been kidnapped, and every time he tries to kill himself, he fails. Worst of all, he lives in Kidderminster. But sometimes you’re given a lifeline. For some it’s a lottery win, for others a promotion. For Wentworth, it’s an out-of-shape 50-something named Norman wearing an "I was on Naked Attraction" t-shirt and scuffed Reeboks. Wentworth thinks he’s in luck but makes a series of progressively worse decisions and soon finds himself on the run from a gang of criminal reprobates.
