About this deal

The sequel, ‘I am Still Not a Loser’ was the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2013 and declared the funniest book for children aged seven to fourteen. When his clumsiness costs his team the championship on Field Day, he is saddled with a haunting name: Loser. En un primer momento todo va bien, los alces se adaptan estupendamente a su nuevo hogar, pero pasado un tiempo los alces empiezan a morir uno a uno. Now I don’t know why, but I convinced myself that he had the perfect face to feature in a Gangster Hollywood Movie, you know, like Public Enemies, in a negative role or along the same lines, but anything but positive.

BookBrowse seeks out and recommends the best in contemporary fiction and nonfiction—books that not only engage and entertain but also deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

It's a book that's going to be enjoyed by boys in the six-to-eight age range and it could well be the encouragement that the reluctant reader needs to get them going. For anyone looking for plot, forget it, in a ways nothing really happens for over a hundred pages, Bernhard emphasizes the narrator's act of thinking and not acting, it's all about the mind and not the physicalities.

Interesante el traje que le hace a Salzburgo (y a sus habitantes), como capital de los melómanos, a la enseñanza de la música y del arte en general e incluso a mitos aceptados como las pretendidas bondades de la vida en el campo. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation. Gr 4-6-Donald Zinkoff is a kid everyone will recognize-the one with the stupid laugh who cracks up over nothing, the klutz who trips over his own feet, the overly exuberant student who always raises his hand but never has the right answers. And thus the narrator unburdens himself in knowing that there is nothing he could have done to avoid the suicide. Whilst I was reading I couldn't help thinking about Tom Gates and in the ensuing scrap Barry Loser, er, lost.

Bernhard's satirical narrators are against everything: especially mountains, in this case the Alps, nature, people, society, art, any and all institutions, the church, the state, you name it. When Donald’s mailman father lets him spend a bunch of Sundays pretending to deliver the mail, the oddball characters Donald meets along the route open his eyes to a bigger universe. There is a great charm in how Bernhard deals with subjects of giving up, loss of ambition, hatred of virtuosity, jealousy and also the painful realization that you don’t want in life what you thought you wanted for a very long time. Por el contrario, tiene un gran sentido del humor que muchos, que se toman su obra con demasiada literalidad, no han sabido ver. I came across a graffiti pic today that said , "Art, should comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable" and immediately my first thought was Bernhard.
