{"id":4712921563213,"title":"Joseph Andrews: and, Shamela [Lingua inglese]","handle":"9780140433869","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescrizione\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutore: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookbay.it\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Henry+Fielding\"\u003eHenry Fielding\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSHAMELA is a brilliant parody of Samuel Richardson's PAMELA, in which a virtuous servant girl long resists her master's advances and is eventually 'rewarded' with marriage. Fielding's far more spirited and sexually honest heroine, by contrast, merely uses coyness and mock modesty as techniques to catch a rich husband. JOSEPH ANDREWS, Fielding's first full-length novel, can also be seen as a response to Richardson, as the lascivious Lady Booby sets out to seduce her comically chaste servant Joseph, (himself in love with the much-put-upon Fanny Goodwill).

She's also dead. But not just dead. Madison is in Hell. Chuck Palahniuk's latest, \"Damned\", takes us on Madison's journey through Hell, as she navigates the Hillocks of Discarded Nail Pairings and the River of Vomit, meeting everyone from Charles Darwin to Marilyn Monroe, with a colorful cast of characters (damned for unspeakable acts, like wearing white shoes after Labor Day), to determine why she's really there, and whether she will be damned for eternity. In \"Damned\", Hell really does exist, as a place where your only career choice is telemarketer (yes, that's where those calls actually originate), the currency is Halloween candy, and 'the in-flight movie is always \"The English Patient\", never \"The Breakfast Club\".'
