Bill Cosby Bücher
12. Juli 1937
Die Erzählungen des Autors sind von einer warmen Nostalgie für die Vergangenheit durchdrungen und setzen sich doch furchtlos mit zeitlosen Themen wie Rassismus, Klasse und Familie auseinander. Seine Arbeit offenbart ein tiefes Verständnis der menschlichen Natur, oft gewürzt mit einem sanften Humor, der seine eigenen Lebenserfahrungen widerspiegelt. Er beschreitet den Weg vom Straßenkünstler zum globalen Künstler und Content-Ersteller, mit dem Ziel zu unterhalten, zu bilden und zu inspirieren. Seine unverwechselbare erzählerische Stimme und seine scharfe Beobachtungsgabe machen ihn zu einem unvergesslichen Erzähler.

Essentially, this is the best of the best of 50 years of Peanuts, the comic strip by the late Charles Schulz featuring Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, and the rest of the beguiling little gang. Peanuts debuted in 1950 and became a global phenomenon, with book collections selling more than 300 million copies in 26 languages and television specials rerun year after year. To create this all-new Peanuts Guide to Life, we've combed through decades of comic strips to find those single panels which contain such pithy observations as “Babysitters are like used cars. You never know what you're going to get,” and bits of wisdom like “Never lick ice cream off a hot sidewalk.” Each droll, stand-alone “speech bubble” or punchline appears with cartoon art. The panels are organized into short chapters, such as “Love” and “Life's Little Quirks.” For the millions of faithful Peanuts fans, this is a collection of “greatest hits” to cherish and enjoy again and again.

"A gritty, voice-driven thriller about a former getaway driver who thought he had escaped the criminal life who is pulled back in by race, poverty, and his own former life of crime. Beauregard "Bug" Montage is a man with many different titles: husband, father, friend, honest car mechanic. But before he gave it up, Bug used to be known from the hills of North Carolina to the beaches of Florida as the best Wheel Man on the East Coast. After a series of financial calamities, Bug feels he has no choice but to take one final job as the getaway driver for a daring diamond heist that could solve all his money troubles and allow him to go straight once and for all. Like "Ocean's Eleven" meets "Drive" (but with a mostly black cast of characters), Blacktop Wasteland is a searing, operatic story of sons living up (or down) to their fathers; of a heist gone sideways; of a man ground down by economic desperation; of fast cars and daring chases and identity and love"-- Provided by publisher
