The Chook Book
Autor J C Kimberleyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 mai 2027
At the heart of this kingdom stands Reginald the Greatest Cock to Ever Live. A glorified alarm clock, a mad over-pecker of lower-ranked chooks. Resplendent with a crown-comb, an inflated ego, a talent for humiliation and a bloodstained stump he calls his throne. Surrounding Reginald are his flock of sycophants, dreamers, schemers, philosophers and poor bastards searching for scraps, dignity and hope. Darkly funny, gloriously rude, viciously sharp and uncomfortably familiar, this is the modern-day fable for our times. A tale about power, ego, fear and the dangerous moment when an entire system is pushed to the brink.

Specificații
Notă biografică
J. C. Kimberley is a self-taught, instinct-driven author whose work explores power, personality, and the quiet absurdities of life. Guided by a simple philosophy, resist the obvious, trust the detail, and let characters lead, his writing blends dry humor with emotional restraint, inviting readers to slow down, look again, and recognize themselves in the unexpected.
He is the author of Australia Exposed (2003), praised for its observational voice and its ability to capture the character of a country without sentimentality, and Antarctica: A Different Adventure (2005), a firsthand account of a sixteen-day expedition at 80 degrees south that combines endurance, reflection, and sharp-eyed storytelling. Together, these works established Kimberley as a writer interested not in spectacle, but in people, their resilience, contradictions, and capacity for humor under pressure. Drawing on decades of observation, often in remote, uncomfortable, and overlooked places, Kimberley writes with a laconic clarity that favors people over grand statements. Whether documenting explorers at the edge of the world or the small dramas of everyday life, his stories find meaning in the quiet moments where humor and humanity intersect.
