De zwarte humor, de absurde logica en onvergetelijke personages als Yossarian, de bommenrichter die denkt dat de vijand erop uit is hem te vermoorden, en de gewiekste messofficier Milo Minderbinder, maken Joseph Hellers Catch-22 tot een indrukwekkend boek. Catch-22 is de oorlogsroman die alle andere oorlogsromans overbodig maakt: origineel, bitter, vulgair, geestig, spitsvondig en ontroerend.
The Group follows eight graduates from exclusive Vassar College as they find love and heartbreak, forge careers, gossip and party in 1930s Manhattan.
Historical. A notorious classic. Fanny Hill's story, as she falls into prostitution and then rises to respectability, takes the form of a confession that is vividly coloured by copious and explicit, physiological details of her carnal adventures. Fanny Hill was first published by Cleland in 1748. The subject of immediate controversy (and an arrest), it lingered through the ages in an expurgated form. This version contains the complete, unexpurgated edition.
