Beschreibung

In the allegorical narrative "The Peacock and Parrot, on their Tour to Discover the Author of 'The Peacock At Home,'" the reader is invited on a whimsical journey through a richly symbolic landscape replete with satire, humor, and introspective commentary on society. This book employs vibrant personification, eloquently balancing lively dialogues with insightful observations about nature and social constructs. Drawing from the literary traditions of fables and fairy tales, the narrative weaves in elements of moral philosophy, encouraging readers to reflect on the nature of authorship and creativity. The enigmatic author of this work remains unidentified, adding an intriguing layer to the text. Likely inspired by the literary zeitgeist of the 19th century, when animal characters were commonly employed to critique human follies, the author deftly navigates themes of identity and intellect. The exploration of the relationship between creators and their creations suggests a deeply personal connection to the act of writing itself, possibly reflecting the author's contemplations on their own literary journey. "The Peacock and Parrot" is a must-read for enthusiasts of literary allegory and social commentary. Its multifaceted narrative invites readers to not only enjoy a tale of adventure but also engage with significant philosophical questions about authorship and artistic purpose. This book is a delightful gem that fascinates both young and mature audiences, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the written word.

    So when Joe, another single parent at school suggests they fake a romance to help them both out of a fix, she throws herself in. 
    But then Sophie starts to look forward to seeing Joe. In fact, she’s thinking about his floppy hair, Irish accent and the way his lips felt when they grazed hers (her commitment to this is exceptional) more than their synced calendars and staged socials. And there is a reason the yummy mummies called him Hot Single Dad. 
    Sophie Rogers isn't silly enough to fall in love with her fake boyfriend. Is she?

    Colorado Book Award Winner for Literary Fiction: “The colorful characters make this account of the War of 1812 a rollicking page-turner” (Publishers Weekly).   In the early nineteenth century, young Henry Phipps is on a quest to realize his dying mother’s last wish: to be buried at sea, surrounded by her family. Not an easy task considering Henry’s ne’er-do-well father is in debtors’ prison and his comically earnest older brother is busy fighting the redcoats on the battlefields of Maryland.   But Henry’s stubborn determination knows no bounds. As he dodges the cannon fire of clashing armies and picks among the ruins of a burning capital, he meets looters, British defectors, renegade slaves, a pregnant maiden in distress, and scoundrels of all types. Mad Boy is at once an antic adventure and a thoroughly convincing work of historical fiction that recreates a young nation’s first truly international conflict and a key moment in the history of the emancipation of African American slaves. Entertaining, atmospheric, and touching, it is “a wartime coming-of-age story filled with nonstop action and genuine pathos” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). “This brilliant musket blast of a novel—in which the lucky reader will encounter falling cows, repurposed pickle barrels, fascinating schemes and fabulous schemers—is alive with humor, heat and heart. Mad Boy is a tremendous accomplishment. Nick Arvin is the real thing.” —Laird Hunt, author of Neverhome
