From growing up in Detroit, where he marched as a 10-year-old with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to attending the inauguration of President Barack Obama, where he narrowly avoided the Purple Tunnel of Doom but still saw nothing, David Alan Grier examines how he - and America - have changed for the better and the funnier.

Paski and her father move to Southern California, where his comic strip has been optioned for a movie. At her new high school, money is everything and the haters rule, especially beautiful, cruel Jessica Nguyen. While Paski tries to concentrate on mountain biking and not thinking too much about ultra-hot Chris Cabrera, she is troubled by visions.

Beth Lisick started out as a homecoming princess with a Crisco-aided tan and a bad perm. And then everything changed. Plunging headlong into America's deepest subcultures, while keeping both feet firmly planted in her parents' Leave It to Beaver values, Lisick makes her adult home on the fringe of mainstream culture and finds it rich with paradox and humor. Fans of David Sedaris and Sarah Vowell will relish Lisick's scathingly funny, smart, very real take on the effluvia of daily living.

A vivid eulogy for London of the late 1970s and early '80s - the last years prior to the rise of the digital city. An elliptical, wildly atmospheric remembrance of the sites and soundtrack, at once aggressively modern and strangely elegiac, that accompanied the twilight of one era and the dawn of another.

Maddie tries to be nice to everyone. Even weird, chicken-obsessed Tahlia. But she’d way prefer to hang out with the cool K-girls at school. The only problem is that they don’t seem interested in her anymore. And at Year 6 camp, Maddie has a decision to make: How far will she go to be popular? Will she be able to live with the guilt when she finally has everything she’s been hoping for?

In his debut essay collection, Nicholas Belardes uses today’s pop culture and self-deprecating humor as a filter for discussing personal stories of family, writing, gender, art, and race. He dives into the Harry Potter play and discusses his cursed childhood home. He tells coming-of-age tales of Dungeons & Dragons and blames Stranger Things for jogging those hilarious memories.

Twenty hours of the very best of Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories.

EU PRECISO FAZER UMA CONFISSÃO: nunca foi fácil ser eu. Você pode até pensar, com um quê de impaciência e uma boa dose de deboche (e já digo logo que entendo super, tá?): "Ah! Ser loira, popular, bonita, rica e invejada é realmente péssimo! Ter tudo o que deseja e ainda ser o crush de dez entre dez garotos é, com toda certeza, um martírio... Viajar para o exterior duas vezes por ano e ficar nos melhores hotéis é, sem sombra de dúvida, uma coisa pavorosa. Ó-meu-Deus--coi-ta-di-nha!" Já disse, eu entendo que você pense assim.

Liam "Mr. Popular" Carter will always be the closest thing to the "walking plague" in my eyes. His cockiness seeps through his every move, and no matter how many state championships he wins with the basketball team, he will forever be a "loss" to me. Because he's my older brother's best friend, I'm forced to tolerate him, and he's forced to tolerate me. In fact, unless my brother is around, we happily ignore each other every chance we get. It wasn't always this way, though....

There was once a fashionable theory that history was determined not by individuals but by economic and geopolitical forces. Recent years have proved that idea abundantly wrong. From Nigel Farage to Donald Trump via (inevitably) Vladimir Putin, we have largely been governed, endangered and thrown into confusion by a pack of angry men. (Nearly always men. Nearly always white). Men whose ambition is inversely proportional to their ability - and stability.

Lokpriya Kahaniya by Subhadra Kumari Chauhan is a collection of beloved stories that have been passed down through generations in India. From the brave and courageous tales of Rani Laxmi Bai and Maharana Pratap to the heartwarming stories of Krishna and Sudama, these timeless tales continue to inspire and captivate audiences of all ages. Chauhan's masterful storytelling transports listeners to a world of heroism, devotion, and sacrifice.

От самых ранних сборников "Книги тысячи и одной ночи" сохранились лишь одиночные сказки, не входящие в "египетскую" редакцию и представленные в немногих рукописях отдельных томов "ночей" или существующие в виде самостоятельных рассказов, имеющих, однако, - разделение на ночи.

О процессе пополнения сборника сказок "Тысячи и одной ночи" мы можем судить по сообщению библиографа X века ан-Надима, который рассказывает, что старший его современник, некий Абд-Аллах аль-Джахшияри - личность, кстати сказать, вполне реальная - задумал составить книгу из тысячи сказок "арабов.

Последним компилятором сборника "Тысячи и одной ночи" был неизвестный по имени ученый шейх, который составил в XVIII веке в Египте наиболее позднее по времени собрание сказок "Тысячи и одной ночи".

Предназначая эти сказки исключительно для взрослых, переводчик остался верен стремлению показать русскому читателю "Книгу тысячи и одной ночи" такой, как она есть, и при передаче непристойных мест оригинала.

В сборнике "Классика зарубежного рассказа № 17" вас ждут аудиоверсии следующих произведений лучших зарубежных авторов: Ги де Мопассан "Рождественская ночь"; Джером К. Джером "О суете и тщеславии"; А. Конан Дойль "Роковой сундук"; К. Гамсун "Победитель"; О. Генри "Ревматизм"; Р.

Более позднего происхождения группа сказок сборника "Тысяча и одна ночь" - отражающих жизнь и быт средневекового арабского торгового города. Как это видно из некоторых топографических подробностей, действие в них разыгрывается главным образом в столице Египта - Каире.

In just three short years, Willie Geist has gone from behind-the-scenes producer at MSNBC to rising on-air star, as the host of Way Too Early with Willie Geist and cohost of Morning Joe. He's fast, he's funny---something of an early-morning Jon Stewart. Now, in his first book, Geist focuses on America's ongoing parade of giant pop culture personalities, beings inflated by the Internet and twenty-four-hour cable news and tethered only loosely to the ground.

Susie Bright celebrates the first amendment, lesbianism, single motherhood, and fantasizes an eventful night with Dan Quayle in this uninhibited and quirky collection of essays, articles, and book reviews written over the past few years. Offbeat and sexy, Bright defends Madonna, attacks Dr. Ruth, and is snubbed by Camille Paglia herself in this rather amazing and outspoken collection.
