Resultaat van "Heidi Mastrogiovanni" in Alle categorieën

By popular demand, The Classics Slacker series takes on Jane Austen's wildly popular Pride and Prejudice. Now there's no need for you to wade through pages and pages of incomprehensible early nineteenth-century prose. The Classics Slacker covers it all for you right here: the balls, the dances, the teas, the strolling, the pianoforte playing, the card playing, the marriage proposals, the conversations under cover of shrubberies—not to mention the ins and outs (mostly out) of heroine Elizabeth Bennet's relationship with the often-popping-up-out-of-nowhere Mr. Darcy.

The best movies from around the world that don't exist and the people who don't exist that made them. Irreverent discussion, clips and interviews, hosted by the author of the Official Dictionary of Sarcasm, James Napoli, and the author of the LaLa Pettibone book series, Heidi Mastrogiovanni.

The Classics Slacker reads the classics so you don't have to! The Classics Slacker had always intended to read the classics of world literature but never quite got around to it. You didn’t, either? Not to worry. The Classics Slacker has stopped slacking and started summarizing them for you in The Classics Slacker series—blatantly irreverent takes on the “Great Books.” Whoooooosh!!! It’s always windy over the moors in England where lovers Heathcliff and Catherine run around, day and night, climbing crags, counting birds, and defying everyone who would keep them apart.

Hooray! "The Classics Slacker Reads" series (Reading the classics so you don't have to) is back with its second volume. This time Classics Slacker readers (Slackies) don't have to read "Madame Bovary" by Gustave Flaubert. This grim French portrait of a sad woman married to a boring doctor often appears near the top of “Greatest Books of All Time” lists.
