Political Satire

Fishbowl 45 portrays Donald Trump and Mike Pence as used car salesmen in this scathing new parody of Trump's America, and our obsession with money, glory, and winning at all costs. Set in 1993 Queens NY, Donald J. Fish, and his evangelical VP Mike Buck, collude with foreign officials, using stolen documents to make the recession “disappear” and win the ultimate prize; a do or die bet on the Big Game!

President Trump has just been inaugurated for the second time. The students at Upstate College are not happy. Led by one charismatic person of color of African Indigenous pan-Asian descent who is a differently abled Muslim atheist, they obliterate the college experience forever.

What if politicians cared about the country? What if people stopped being insane? What if the government earned its money instead of stealing it? The state-laid plans gang aft agley, and only ending taxes, setting term limits, the line-item veto, sunset legislation, and honest elections can amend 'em. What we need now is a good laugh, quotable economists, and missionaries for reality. Who's in?

The landscape of Washington, DC, is in shambles. The Randolph Powers administration has wreaked a special flavor of havoc that has threatened the very foundation of America. Racism, sexism, and hatred are at their highest. The only hope for the United States might well lie in the system-smashing, punk-rocking hands of Sam “Flotsam” Tierney.

Assassination in Santo Domingo is a combination of political satire and action/adventure taking place in the Dominican Republic, a banana republic with a blotchy history of dictators and military takeovers. It is the story of Raphael Trompero, a narcissistic dunce with autocratic ambitions and a corrupt mentality, who is elected president of the country in furtherance of a nefarious plan by Iran to gain influence in Central America.

RESUяяECTION is a diary from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson starting in July 2020, three months after the nurses (whose name he forgets) saved his life. With a daily entry over these months of rehabilitation for himself and the country, the diary is an explosive, addicting, imagined exposé of what is really happening at the height of power as Boris, the UK, and the world recover from COVID-19. And events quickly send Boris down a murky and dangerous pathway in search of eternal life.

La satira classica della rivoluzione russa di George Orwell è una parte intima della nostra cultura contemporanea, citata così spesso che tendiamo a dimenticare chi ha scritto le parole originali. È un resoconto della coraggiosa lotta che trasforma la fattoria terriera del signor Jones in fattoria degli animali, una società interamente democratica costruita sul credo che tutti gli animali sono creati uguali. Per intelligenza, i maiali Napoleone, Squealer e Palla di neve emergono come leader della nuova comunità in una sottile evoluzione che porta una insidiosa familiarità.

Refugee camps in Africa are swelling. And Europe has closed its borders. The refugees have no future, no hope, and no money to pay the vast sums now demanded by people smugglers. But what they do have is time. And then an angel arrives from reality TV. When German model and star presenter Nadeche Hackenbusch comes to film at the largest of the camps, one young refugee sees a unique opportunity: to organise a march to Europe, in full view of the media.

America is in trouble - at the mercy of a puzzling pathogen. That ordinarily wouldn’t lead to catastrophe, thanks to modern medicine, but there’s just one problem: the government supply of Dormigen, the silver bullet of pharmaceuticals, has been depleted just as demand begins to spike. Set in the near future, The Rationing centers around a White House struggling to quell the crisis - and control the narrative.

Sconvolgente, lungimirante, avvincente. "La Fattoria Degli Animali". In una nuova traduzione, con doppia voce narrante, questa edizione ti farà conoscere uno dei capolavori della letteratura mondiale. Stanchi delle ingiustizie, gli animali di una fattoria decidono di ribellarsi agli umani dando vita a un nuovo sistema fondato sull'uguaglianza.

L'autore: Pseudonimo di Eric Arthur Blair, George Orwell è uno degli scrittori più conosciuti al mondo.

Aus "Sankt Martin" wird das "Lichterfest". Das Zigeunerschnitzel mutiert zum Schnitzel mit Sauce einer ethnischen Minderheit auf Reisen. Und Flüchtlinge brauchen keine Miete zahlen und bekommen sogar noch Taschengeld. Was für eine Welt! Der Koch Ludger hat jedenfalls gründlich die Schnauze voll davon, rund um die Uhr zu arbeiten und trotzdem nicht über die Runden zu kommen. Kurzentschlossen springt Ludger von einer Brücke, um das Drama zu beenden. Mit doppeltem Kieferbruch wacht er allerdings im Krankenhaus wieder auf.

Während seiner einjährigen Haftzeit hat Deniz Yücel - in mühsamer Kommunikation über seine Anwälte und kuratiert von der Journalistin Doris Akrap - eine Auswahl aus seinen Texten aus den vergangenen 13 Jahren zu einem ebenso klugen wie unterhaltsamen und in jeder Hinsicht abwechslungsreichen Hörbuch zusammengestellt: Reportagen, Satiren, Polemiken, Kommentare, Glossen und andere "Gebrauchstexte aus dem Handgemenge". Dazu kommen zwei Stücke, die er im Hochsicherheitsgefängnis Silivri Nr. 9 hierfür verfasst hat, sowie ein Beitrag seiner Frau, der Fernsehproduzentin und Lyrikerin Dilek Mayatürk Yücel.
