Solimar

Middle-grade fans of Pam Muñoz Ryan's Esperanza Rising, will find a new Mexican heroine to love in Solimar and a fresh, magical story!

After the magical frenzy, she realizes she's been given a gift—and a burden: she can predict the near future! She has also become a protector of the young and weak butterflies.

Thrown Under the Omnibus

P. J. O'Rourke has had a prolific career as one of America's most celebrated humorists. But that career almost didn't happen. As he tells it, “I began to write for pay in the spring of 1970. To tell the truth I didn't even mean to be a writer, I meant to be a race car driver, but I didn't have a race car."Fortunately for us, he had to settle for writing. From his early pieces for the National Lampoon, through his classic reporting as Rolling Stone's International Affairs editor in the 80s and 90s, and his brilliant, inimitable political journalism and analysis, P.J. has been entertaining and provoking readers with high octane prose, a gonzo Republican attitude and a rare ability to make you laugh out loud. Chris Buckley once described his work as “S.J. Perlman on acid" and when Penguin first published its Dictionary of Modern Humorist Quotations PJ had more entries than any living writer.For the first time Thrown Under the Omnibus...

The Go-Between

A coming-of-age story set in Birmingham in the 1980s and 1990s, The Go-Between opens a window into a closed migrant community living in a red-light district on the wrong side of the tracks. The adult world is seen through Osman's eyes as a child: his own devout Pashtun patriarchal community, with its divide between the world of men and women, living cheek-by-jowl with parallel migrant communities. The orthodox attend a mosque down the road from the prostitutes and pimps. Children balance Western school teachings with cultural traditions. Alternative masculinities compete with strict gender roles, and female erasure and honour-based violence are committed, even as empowering female friendships prevail. The stories Osman tells, some fantastical and humorous, others melancholy and even harrowing, take us from the Birmingham of Osman's childhood to the banks of the river Kabul and the river Indus, and, eventually, to the London of his teenage years. Osman weaves in and out of these...

A Forgotten Ambassador in Cairo

Amongst the multitudes of tombs in the City of the Dead in Cairo, there lies buried a lone Indian — an eminent scholar, writer, debonair statesman and a leader of the Indian freedom movement. Who is he? How did he get there? For a man who used both the lectern and the pen to devastating effect in the cause of the Indian Independence movement led by the likes of Gandhi, Patel and Nehru, very little is known of Syud Hossain. Born to an aristocratic family in Calcutta, he started a career in journalism early in life and became the editor of Motilal Nehru's nationalist newspaper, The Independent. After a brief elopement with Jawaharlal Nehru's sister, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Hossain, under immense pressure from Motilal Nehru and Gandhi, annulled the marriage and was asked to stay away from the country for a few years. Thus began several years of exile. Eventually, he landed in the United States where he imparted Gandhi's message far and wide across the country....

Хазрати Муҳаммад (С.А.В) ҳадислари Лев Толстой сайланмасида

Мазкур китобга кирган адислар улуғ рус адиби Лев Толстой томонидан сайлаб олинган ва 1909 йили нашр этилган бўлиб, у улуғ рус ёзувчисининг маънавий-ахлоий арашларининг кўзгуси бўлиб хизмат илади. Ўзбек китобхонлари буюк Толстойнинг «Ирорнома» асарини устоз Озод Шарафиддинов таржимасида тўлалигича ўиган эдилар. Мазкур рисолага ана шу асардан турк ноширлари томонидан сайлаб олинган айрим исмлари ам киритилган. Шунингдек, Лев Толстойнинг мавзуга доир мактубларидан намуналар ҳам ушбу китобчадан ўрин олган.
