Political Satire

After years of exploitation, neglect, and despair, the animals of Manor Farm revolt. They drive owner Mr. Jones off the land and rechristen the property Animal Farm, a utopia of equality and mutual support. But Napoleon, a young boar who assumes command after the rebellion, is hungry for power. And as the pigs consolidate control, all the good intentions of Animal Farm are crushed by a new and inevitable tyranny.

Martin Kreutzer will nach oben. Als Volontär einer überregionalen Berliner Tageszeitung muss er sich jedoch beweisen, denn Ruhm und Reichtum kriegt man nicht einfach geschenkt. Lukas Moretti war sein Kommilitone und schon damals in München ein Star unter den Studenten, doch inzwischen ist ihm mit seinem Mix aus performativer Kunst und euphorischen Elektropartys der internationale Durchbruch gelungen. Martin verspricht seiner Redaktion ein Exklusivinterview mit Moretti. So richtig kennt er ihn zwar nicht, aber was ist schon eine kleine Lüge zur Rettung der Karriere.

In the 99th district of a sprawling labour camp, the Author, Musician, Scholar, Theologian and Technician - and hundreds just like them - are undergoing Re-education, to restore their revolutionary zeal and credentials. In charge of this process is the Child, who delights in draconian rules, monitoring behaviour and confiscating treasured books. But when bad weather arrives, followed by the ‘three bitter years’, the intellectuals are abandoned by the regime and left on their own to survive.

"Veníamos bien, pero de golpe pasaron cosas", dijo el presidente Mauricio Macri en junio del 2018 ante la perplejidad del pueblo argentino cuando el Gobierno volvió a pedir un préstamo al FMI. En estos relatos delirantes, lisérgicos, casi oníricos, Rosemblat, el Cadete, hace estallar la idea de verosimilitud para proponer que los años macristas quizás sean demasiado difíciles de comprender solo con las herramientas de la realidad.

Questa colossale opera fu pubblicata nel 1862. Considerata uno dei romanzi più importanti del XIX secolo, narra la storia di vari personaggi nell’arco di 20 anni, intrecciando la loro vita alle vicende storiche della Parigi post Restaurazione.

Once upon a time in what was then reasonably Great Britain, there was a world in which the not too serious business of politics was practised without those people known today, nonsensically, as spin doctors, and without whispers against those who were supposed to be friends, but who were in fact blockages on the ladder of ambition. This audiobook is a wistful recollection of those days. None of it actually happened. But it would be nice to think that it might have.

The High Priests of the Economics profession are a privileged and highly-compensated group. Their speeches are endlessly analyzed, their every public utterance transcribed and disseminated world-wide. Yet they’re often wrong. How can this be? How can a profession that sends one of these high priests to Scandinavia each year to receive a Nobel Prize for achievements in “Economic Science” be so error-prone? The answer is quite simple: Economics, and the social and soft sciences more generally, are not science in the same sense that physics and chemistry and engineering are science. In ...

In this candid first-person memoir, Huckleberry gives you an insider's view of his beleaguered campaign, such as it is: a hilarious clown car packed with an astonishing array of fear-mongering grotesques, xenophobic paranoids, closeted bigots, and rapacious, self-promoting Conservative pundits, all of them poised to commandeer America's future in the name of God and unrestrained capitalism (not necessarily in that order).

The Mueller Report is 2018’s most anticipated release that doesn’t involve Chris Pratt punching a dinosaur, and for good reason: The entire country is waiting to see what former FBI director and current special counsel Robert Mueller has dug up on former mail-order steak salesman and current US president Donald J. Trump. That wait is over - sort of - with the publication of The Mueller Report by Jason O. Gilbert.

This particular morning following public outcry a police raid was carried out and strange discoveries were made. The strangest was a man who walked on his hands and knees like animals. The television showed a long bearded man with overgrown grey tousled hair, bulging eyes like the protruding eyes of bush baby, dry peeling skin and a vulgar voice. The onlookers caught by television cameras showed gloomy faces with some of them having their hands over their heads, some with mouth agape in astonishment and some other faces covered in tears. That was not the strangest but human flesh and bones ...

A wonderful, warm novel from a major new American voice. In The Art of Fielding, we see young men who know that their four years on the baseball diamond at Westish College are all that remain of their sporting careers. Only their preternaturally gifted fielder, Henry Skrimshander, seems to have the chance to keep his dream – and theirs, vicariously – alive, until a routine throw goes disastrously off course, and the fates of five people are upended.

Cassandra Devine, a young Washington spin doctor and blogger, suggests that Baby Boomers be given government incentives to kill themselves by age 75. This proposal catches on with citizens outraged about Social Security debt and a senator seeking the youth vote for his presidential bid. With the help of Washington's greatest PR strategist, Cassandra and the senator try to ride the issue of euthanasia to the White House.

In the year 2067, political correctness has run amok in America. Political correctness is now the law of the land and anyone who runs afoul of the law can be arrested by the PC Police. Once used as nothing more than a slang term, the PC Police is now an actual profession and the PC Court of Appeals is an actual, physical building where criminals are indicted for their affronts to politically correct thought, speech, and behavior.

Republican congressman Alexander Paine Wilson is determined that nothing will stop him in his campaign for re-election. Not the fact that he is a bachelor, not the fact that his main adversary Nancy Beavers - married, with children - is rising in the polls. Nothing. That is, until one hot day in August, he receives a large parcel via FedEx. Inside is a gigantic taxidermied aardvark.

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!

On the eve of the 2020 presidential election, Trump bonds with kindred spirit Andrew Jackson. He hitches a ride with Richard Nixon in Nixon's custom 1972 Lincoln Continental presidential limo. He gets to mix it up again with the Clintons and trades barbs with JFK. He even croons along with the Roaring Twenties Republicans, a singing trio featuring Presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. In Presidential Conversations, author George S. Corey has crafted a timeless and revealing work of political satire spanning more than two centuries of the American presidency.

President Brandon Diben was having the time of his life. His party and their mainstream media allies were devoted to covering up his family’s corruption, the exploding national debt, massive illegal immigration and a skyrocketing inflation rate. His advancing dementia was a running joke behind the scenes as well. But he never counted on an uninvited intruder that appeared mysteriously in the Oval Office and began to demand that he resign from office and admit his crimes. When he refused, this cute little strawberry blonde began to make things appear around the nation that not only ...
