Bob Slocum is anxious, bored and fearful of his job. So why is it he wants nothing more than the chance to speak at the next company convention? In this darkly satirical book, Joseph Heller takes us for a turn on the maddening hamster wheel of work. Heller's workplace is a cradle of paranoia, bravado and nauseating banter, forever shadowed by that perennial question, who's really running the show here? In Heller's hands, our daily grind has never seemed so absurd. Selected from the book Something Happened by Joseph Heller

Discover Joseph Heller's hilarious and tragic satire on military madness, and the tale of one man's efforts to survive it. It's the closing months of World War II and Yossarian has never been closer to death. Stationed in an American bomber squadron off the coast of Italy, each flight mission introduces him to thousands of people determined to kill him. But the enemy above is not Yossarian's problem - it is his own army intent on keeping him airborne, and the maddening 'Catch-22' that allows for no possibility of escape. 'The greatest satirical work in the English language' Observer

Joseph Heller's other masterpiece - a darkly comic, sometimes tragic satire that does for the American Dream what Catch-22 did for the madness of war 'Joseph Heller's finest achievement' Jonathan Coe Bob Slocum was a promising executive. He had an attractive wife, three children, a nice house, and as many mistresses as he desired. His life was settled and ordered; he had conformed and society demanded he be happy - or at least pretend to be. But the pretence was becoming more and more difficult, as Slocum's discontent grew into an overwhelming sense of desolation, frustration and fear. And then something happened. . .

A burlesque epic in the tradition of The good soldier Schweik, Catch-22 exposes the absurdity of war by applying its own demented logic to America's involvement in Korea. The 'catch' is that soldiers have to claim to be mad in order to get out of fighting - but being capable of making such a claim automatically proves them sane. With a cast of magnificently larger-than-life characters who are rushed along at a breathless pace, for once this really is a novel it's hard to put down. Catch-22 was made into a film.

Explosive, subversive, wild and funny, 50 years on the novel's strength is undiminished. Reading Joseph Heller's classic satire is nothing less than a rite of passage. Set in the closing months of World War II, this is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. His real problem is not the enemy - it is his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. If Yossarian makes any attempts to excuse himself from the perilous missions then he is caught in Catch-22: if he flies he is crazy, and doesn't have to; but if he doesn't want to he must be sane and has to. That's some catch...

Samtliche Erzahlungen des »gro?ten Schriftstellers, den Osterreich je hervorgebracht hat« (Andre Heller), in einer SonderausgabeJoseph Roth erlangte Weltruhm mit den Romanen Hiob und Radetzkymarsch. Die scharfe Beobachtungsgabe und minutiose Prosa, die seine Romane und Feuilletons auszeichnen, lassen sich auch in seinen kunstvollen Erzahlungen bewundern. Dieser Band prasentiert alle Geschichten Roths in einer besonderen Ausstattung, zum Sonderpreis und mit einem brillanten Nachwort von Andre Heller. Der chronologische Aufbau der zwischen 1916 und 1939 entstandenen Erzahlungen vermittelt ein genaues Bild von der literarischen Entwicklung Joseph Roths: Der Bogen seiner Erzahlkunst spannt sich vom Fruhwerk Der Vorzugsschuler uber Die Legende vom heiligen Trinker, »eine der schonsten Legenden, die im 20. Jahrhundert gedichtet wurde« (Marcel Reich-Ranicki), zur Novelle Der Leviathan, Roths letzter gleichnishafter Erzahlung vom Korallenhandler Nissen Pizenik. Joseph Roth erzahlt lauter alltagliche Geschichten, bevolkert von lauter traurigen Figuren, die lauter ungluckliche Schicksale haben. Wie er diese Verliebten und Sonderlinge, diese Schmuggler und Rittmeister, Huren und Eisenbahner, Brieftrager und Lehrer mit leichter Hand in unvergessliche Figuren verwandelt, grenzt an Zauberei und ist doch nichts als gro?e Literatur.

Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. The Nature of a Crime is Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford's collaborative work, a study of human psychology. Delving into the darkest recesses of human mind, they present idiosyncratic characters fighting with their own overwhelming desires and intuitions. The deep love of the protagonist gives way to even more profound desperation. The feelings of the protagonist, as life is crumbles around him, are expressed profoundly by the two authors.

Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. The Shadow Line tells a story of a young sea captain's first command which brings with it a succession of crises: sea is becalmed, the crew laid low by fewer, and his deranged first mate is convinced that the ship is haunted by the malignant spirit of a previous captain. The Nature of Crime is Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford's collaborative work, a study of human psychology. The feelings of the protagonist, as life is crumbles around him, are expressed profoundly by the two authors. Heart of Darkness remains an indisputably classic text and arguably Conrad's finest work. Taking place mostly in Africa, it tells the story of Europeans going to the Congo in search of goods to bring back, mostly ivory.
