    Ten Steps to Nanette (eBook, ePUB)
    'There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.' Hannah Gadsby, NanetteMulti-awardwinning Hannah Gadsby transformed comedy with her show Nanette, even as she declared that she was quitting stand-up. Now, she takes us through the defining moments in her life that led to the creation of Nanette and her powerful decision to tell the truth - no matter the cost.Gadsby's unique stand-up special Nanette was a viral success that left audiences captivated by her blistering honesty and her ability to create both tension and laughter in a single moment. But while her worldwide fame might have looked like an overnight sensation, her path from open mic to the global stage was hard-fought and anything but linear.Ten Steps to Nanette traces Gadsby's growth as a queer person from Tasmania - where homosexuality was illegal until 1997 - to her ever-evolving relationship with comedy, to her struggle with adult diagnoses of autism and ADHD, and finally to the backbone of Nanette - the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of misogyny, and the moral significance of truth-telling.Equal parts harrowing and hilarious, Ten Steps to Nanette continues Gadsby's tradition of confounding expectations and norms, properly introducing us to one of the most explosive, formative voices of our time.

    A Tramp Abroad , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 835min
    A Tramp Abroad (1880) by Mark Twain is a travel journal which includes autobiography and fictional events. The book chronicles a journey by the author and his friend Harris through central and southern Europe. The two men make their way through Germany, Switzerland, eastern France, and Italy, encountering situations that become more humorous by their reactions to them. The narrator plays the part of the American tourist, believing that he understands all that he sees but in reality understanding none of it. In this narrative, Mark Twain inserts stories unrelated to the trip, like "Bluejay Yarn", "The Man who put up at Gadsby's", and many German Legends, partly invented by the author himself. The book includes six appendices in the form of short essays on the role of the portier in European hotels, Heidelberg Castle, college prisons in Germany, the German language, a short story titled "The Legend of the Castle", and a satirical description of German newspapers. ungekürzt.

    The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg and Other Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 368min
    The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg is one of Mark Twain's most satiric and biting stories. It first appeared in Harper's Monthly in December 1899.A town that prides itself on its honesty finds itself severely tested. One of the demons Twain always set out to slay was the myth that the citizens of the American republic are inherently more virtuous than others. By the invention of an elaborate hoax, a kind of giant practical joke, Twain has his hero turn the town of Hadleyburg inside out and, in the process, teach the hypocrites who dwell there a lesson in humility and moral realism.There are 12 other stories in this volume that display Twain's incredible range of humor and wit:"The Million Pound Bank Note"Extracts from "Adam's Diary""Eve's Diary""The Joke That Made Ed's Fortune""Edward Mills and George Benton: A Tale""Cannabalism in the Cars""The Story of the Good Little Boy""The Story of the Bad Little Boy""The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calavaras County""Baker's Bluejay Yarn""The Man Who Put Up at Gadsby's""Journalism in Tennessee" ungekürzt.
