I Hjärtat får inga rynkor vecklas Marks universum ut, en värld där kinesiska Elvisimitatörer skimrar i kapp med Danmarks drottning, där Körskoleläraren Som Gud Glömde samsas med Jesus i Orlando (som Gud helst skulle vilja glömma). Här möter vi nya vårar som blommar i krematoriets park och grannens otäta hund som blir misstänkt för att vara en vandrande njure klädd i päls. Hjärtat får inga rynkor lär oss varför det är vådligt att tolka folk i form av blombuketter samt faran av att stå på huvudet om man inte bär trosor.

Varför hörs någon vråla SÅÅÅ HÄÄÄR HAAAR INTEEE MARIIIAAAANNE FREDRIKSSOOON DEEEEEET i det lilla vita huset i Bromma? Hur kommer det sig att Björn Skifs har blivit yngre än Martina Haag? Och varför ser hon ut som en smurf i pösbyxor? Och vad gör hon egentligen, instängd i en hiss med Viggo Mortensen på en lyxig björnfäll? Varför piper, mjauar och brölar det ur frysen i källaren? Och kommer verkligen Hans Blix att kunna reda ut bråken hemma hos familjen Haag?

Hemma hos Martina handlar om hur Martina försöker få livet att gå ihop med tre barn, en miljard katter och Sveriges stökigaste man som bara snor ens strumpor hela tiden och en skådespelarkarriär vars höjdpunkter mest verkar bestå av provfilmningar för finskt diskmedel. Den handlar också om hur man försöker överleva trots att man lider av en ofantlig brist på glamour när man är gravid i tionde månaden och ser ut som Lennart Swahn (fast med hårspännen).

This book is a personally written account of Jimmy’s "50 Golden Years", in show business, from holiday camp Redcoat to Bluecoat then onto his first big break on television, (after many struggles), going on to headline for four of his own series for Central television in the 1980s with 'Royal Command Performances' and TV Variety shows in between, then his BBC Radio 2 series written by the great scriptwriter Eddie Braben in the 1990's which ran for five years called, 'Jimmy's Cricket Team'.

Filled with comics and anecdotes, this lighthearted book looks at those born, bred, and buttered in today’s society: typical homosapiens trying to let go of their own childhoods while becoming parents themselves. You know, doing the whole thing of three bedrooms, two baths, and a loft. Cough, a Zoloft. From an adolescent to an adult, this narrative is filled with anecdotal proof that humans are, well, strange creatures. This book is a must-have for new parents, the young and confused, and those who would like to ask why, why on earth do humans thrive, when nature selects?

Paolo Rossi si confessa. Ma rende la sua confessione a una divinità molto particolare: il dio dei ladri, il Bardo William Shakespeare. Tutti gli attori, i commedianti, i contastorie sono infatti ladri: di aneddoti e di idee, di verità e anche di menzogne. Per questo, la «versione di Paolo» è una storia rigorosamente apocrifa e anarchica, disseminata di occasioni e tentazioni, botte date e prese, donne amate e lasciate, poco venerati maestri e pessime compagnie di giro, ideologie e avventure di una sera o di una vita annaffiate da sobrie acque toniche corrette gin.

Comedian Tony Martin has strip-mined his often unremarkable life to tell sixteen small tales fraught with laughter and detail. Choosing to ignore his many dubious achievements in the world of Australian show business (Martin/Molloy, The Late Show, a short-lived but torrid affair with Sharon on Kath & Kim), New Zealand-born Martin instead recalls dozens of tiny life-changing moments that, frankly, could have happened to anybody.

Надежду Лохвицкую (1872–1952), известную всем под псевдонимом Тэффи, современники называли "королевой юмора". Ею восхищались от Николая II до Ленина, а ее веселые ироничные рассказы и фельетоны с остроумными наблюдениями над жизнью и нотками грусти очень высоко ценили. Пережив три революции, две мировые войны, оказавшись в 1920-е годы в эмиграции, она сохранила в "короткой прозе" непосредственность, легкость и умение посмеяться над обычными бытовыми ситуациями, а в свои мемуары привнесла философский характер. В русском Париже Тэффи была одним из любимых писателей.
