| Summary/Abstract |
Chris, Ikem and Beatrice are three like - minded friends working under the military regime of His Excellency, the Sandhurst - educated President of Kangan. In the pressurized atmosphere of oppression and intimidation they are simply trying to live and love - and remain friends. But in a world where each day brings a new betrayal, hope is hard to cling on to. Achebe's candid vision of contemporary African politics is a powerful fusion of angry voices and flashes of poetry. But his interpretation of oil - boom Nigeria is not defeatist; like his character Beatrice, Achebe refuses to disparage the day that still has an hour of light in its hand.

| Summary/Abstract |
Home and Exile-the great Nigerian novelist's first book in more than ten years-is a major statement on the importance of stories as real sources of power, especially for those whose stories have traditionally been told by outsiders.
In three elegant essays, Achebe seeks to rescue African culture from narratives written about it by Europeans. Looking through the prism of his experiences as a student in English schools in Nigeria, he provides devastating examples of European cultural imperialism. He examines the impact that his novel Things Fall Apart had on efforts to reclaim Africa's story. And he argues for the importance of writing and living the African experience because, he believes, Africa needs stories told by Africans.

A terrifying story of what really happened on the fateful day of May 10, 1996, at the top of the world, during what would be the deadliest season in the history of Everest. In this harrowing yet breathtaking narrative, Krakauer takes the reader along his ill-fated expedition, step by precarious step, from Kathmandu to the mountain's pinnacle where, plagued by a combination of hubris, greed, poor judgement, and plain bad luck, they would fall prey to the mountain's unpredictable fury.

| Summary/Abstract |
To an actor first approaching Elizabethan theater, Shakespearean verse can seem the most puzzling to interpret. But hidden within the text of every Shakespeare play lie directions, provided by the playwright himself. In Playing Shakespeare, John Barton draws on more than thirty-five years of experience as the Royal Shakespeare Company's associate director to offer a practical guide as to how these plays work.
|
| Contents |
The two traditions: Elizabethan and modern acting
Using the verse: heightened and naturalistic verse
Language and character: making the words one's own
Using the prose: why does Shakespeare use prose?
Set speeches and soliloquies: taking the audience with you
Using the sonnets: going over some old ground
Irony and ambiguity: text that isn't what it seems
Passion and coolness: a question of balance
Rehearsing the text: Orsino and Viola
Exploring a character: playing Shylock
Contemporary Shakespeare: a discussion
Poetry and hidden poetry: three kinds of failure

| Summary/Abstract |
Joseph Campbell, who died on October 31, 1987, was the world's foremost authority on mythology, a preeminent scholar, writer, and teacher whose work has had a profound influence on millions. To him, mythology was "the song of the universe, the music of the spheres." In The Power of Myth, he and distinguished journalist Bill Moyers offer a brilliant combination of wisdom and wit in conversations that range from modern marriage ("Marriage is a relationship. When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship") to virgin births, from savior figures to heroic figures such as Luke Skywalker from Star Wars ("...By overcoming the dark passions, the hero symbolizes our ability to control the irrational savages within us.") The Power of Myth is a great summing up of Joseph Campbell's work, sure to stand alongside his two celebrated classics The Hero With a Thousand Faces and The Masks of God and his recent The Atlas of World Mythology.

‘ Sister of My Heart ’ is predominantly a book on female relationships. It explores the various facets of women- the good, the bad and the ugly. A refreshing change from most novels that depict men in the roles of hero and villain, most of the prominent characters in this novel are determined, strong women. It goes on to show the various faces that a woman can conceal behind a charming face, be it the iron-willed, breadwinning Gauri or the fiercely-loyal-to-her-clan, determined-to-have-a-male-heir Mrs. Sanyal.

Radzinsky narrates the high drama of Stalin's epic quest for domination-first within the Communist Party, then over the Soviet Union and the world He uncovers the startling truth about this most enigmatic of historical figures. Only now, in the post-Soviet era, can what was suppressed be told: Stalin's long-denied involvement with terrorism as a young revolutionary; the crucial importance of his misunderstood, behind-the-scenes role during the October Revolution; his often hostile relationship with Lenin; the details of his organization of terror, culminating in the infamous show trials of the 1930s; his secret dealings with Hitler, and how they backfired; and the horrifying plans he was making before his death to send the Soviet Union's Jews to concentration camps that were tantamount to a potential second Holocaust.
