Forced to take employment as live-in carer for a genius quadriplegic undergraduate, failed actor Timothy Salt is not optimistic. His charge, Michael Owen, is only at Oxford to please his devoted mum. When ersatz aristo Phillip Sydney offers the leading role in his student production of Hamlet to Michael, Timothy’s humiliation seems complete. Meanwhile, fellow student thespian Anna Jenkins, deciding that Phillip is the ‘perfect gentleman’ who Mummy so wants her to find, accepts the part of Ophelia. Then TV producer Nikki Hardbody (Kids with Cancer and Pepé: The Boy with No Nose) arrives to immortalise Michael in her latest documentary, and Timothy realizes that the only way he can salvage any self-respect is by sabotaging the production of Hamlet. Michael, meanwhile, is horrified to find himself falling for Anna. As rehearsals progress, Anna discovers that her perfect partner isn’t Phillip Sydney after all. No one is more delighted than cynical Nikki Hardbody. The Opposite Bastard is a dark comedy of manners. An uproarious and moving commentary on love, disability, dignity, political correctness and media opportunism, it is a strikingly original and provocative debut.
Move over, Benedict Arnold . . . Oh to be sure, America's first traitor is one of the 101 bastards you will find in this one-of-a-kind account of bad guys in Washington. But compared to some of the gross misconduct in this frighteningly funny history book, well, let's just say he's in good company. This page-turner of a potboiler reveals all the dirtiest little secrets readers never learned in history class. From illegitimate children (we thought Grover Cleveland was too boring to have sex) and illicit trysts (Warren G. Harding in the White House phone booth with his secretary) to turncoats (make up your own mind about Daniel Ellsberg) and traitors (General Wilkinson, aka a Spanish secret agent), you will discover all the dirt worth dishing since the founding of Jamestown. The Book of Bastards - because what you don't know about the history of our great nation can make you laugh and cry!
During the time when stoop labor is needed by farmers in the United States you see them working in fields throughout the United States. Brown skinned people of South Texas jam into old vehicles and set out for places where they hope to earn enough money to help get them fed and clothed until El Patrons cotton and vegetable fields give them a winter job. Hispanic migratory workers play a large role in keeping us fed and clothed. Often times they are mistreated and abused. BASTARD follows one group of these workers from their South Texas homes to a Colorado beet field. Destined to follow this path of migration for generations, Hesus and his bodyguard, Juan, follow the workers before they go to Southern Methodist University to learn how to better conditions for the people of Tex-Mex heritage. In the same order as Sinclair Lewis in DUBIOUS BATTLE, the author hopes this novel will draw attention to the migratory workers of the Southwest. In addition this touching story of a familys fight for existence should be some mighty fine reading savored with a touch of chili powder.
The sequel to The Grey Bastards, this irresistibly swashbuckling, swaggering, foul-mouthed fantasy is rollicking, cunningly clever swords 'n' sorcery storytelling that's a shot of pure fun for fantasy fans.
These two volumes contain absorbing and interesting concise definitions of ancient and modern words and terms that a student or lawyer might come across in legal readings. Purely statutory and judicial definitions, since they are constantly changing, are excluded. This is a wonderful reference source for all who are serious about legal history or merely curious as to the meaning of thousands of words often or rarely encountered.
Examining English, Latin, French, and German texts, The Knight, the Cross, and the Song traces the role of secular chivalric literature in shaping Crusade propaganda across three centuries.
