Wladimir Kaminer

Wladimir Kaminer moved from Moscow to Berlin in a lucky wave of emigration, hoping for a better life and an apartment of his own. But he found much more: a city that was was casting a spell on artists, drifters, losers and hopeless idealists. Of his encounters with these people, Kaminer makes tales of compassion and humour.

What we French think of you British...
Marcel Lucont

Marcel Lucont, France's premier misanthropist and lover, introduces the reader to the British character as seen through the eyes of the French.

Thank you, Jeeves
P.G. Wodehouse

This is a Jeeves and Wooster novel. "Thank You, Jeeves" is the first novel to feature the incomparable valet Jeeves and his hapless charge Bertie Wooster - and you've hardly started to turn the pages when he resigns over Bertie's dedicated but somewhat untuneful playing of the banjo. In high dudgeon, Bertie disappears to the country as a guest of his chum Chuffy - only to find his peace shattered by the arrival of his ex-fiancee Pauline Stoker, her formidable father and the eminent loony-doctor Sir Roderick Glossop. When Chuffy falls in love with Pauline and Bertie seems to be caught in flagrante, a situation boils up which only Jeeves (whether employed or not) can simmer down...
