Sean Kelly - 2021-11-01

The Game offers a compelling analysis of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison's success, examining how his understanding of politics as a game has propelled him to power. But this book also delves into Morrison's failures, highlighting the dangers of viewing politics solely as a game. With wit, precision, and insight, Sean Kelly provides a portrait not just of a political figure, but of a nation and its values.

Experience a captivating journey through Louis XVI's France with Citizens.

Rain, rain, rain. Bored, bored, bored. Picked a book at random from my shelves to re-read. Turned out to be Citizens, an account of the French Revolution by @simon_schama . Still as absorbing as it was 20 years ago. Aux armes !      источник

Scoop book cover
Scoop
Evelyn Waugh - 2003-01-01 (впервые опубликовано в 1938)
Рейтинг Goodreads
This hilarious satire of the journalism industry follows Lord Copper, proprietor of the Daily Beast, as he sends a bumbling reporter to cover a promising war in Ishmaelia. With mistaken identity and hilarious mix-ups galore, Scoop is a must-read for anyone seeking a humorous and entertaining novel. Selected by the Modern Library as one of the best novels of the century.
