In 1975, at the height of Indira Gandhi's "Emergency," V. S. Naipaul returned to India, the country his ancestors had left one hundred years earlier. Out of that journey he produced this concise masterpiece: a vibrant, defiantly unsentimental portrait of a society traumatized by centuries of foreign conquest and immured in a mythic vision of its past. Drawing on novels, news reports, political memoirs, and his own encounters with ordinary Indians-from a supercilious prince to an engineer constructing housing for Bombay's homeless-Naipaul captures a vast, mysterious, and agonized continent inaccessible to foreigners and barely visible to its own people. He sees both the burgeoning space program and the five thousand volunteers chanting mantras to purify a defiled temple; the feudal village autocrat and the Naxalite revolutionaries who combined Maoist rhetoric with ritual murder. Relentless in its vision, thrilling in the keenness of its prose, India: A Wounded Civilization is a work of astonishing insight and candor.

The Orangutans of Semenggoh, Mount Santubong, the Sun Bears of Matang and the Rain in Kuching, Saraw

From No. 1 best selling Self-Help, Counselling and Travel author Pearl Howie A dream come true. But more than that. A dream I had given up on, hidden from myself, brought to light, and then realised. And yet, the first time I saw orangutans in Semenggoh, semi-wild, it was not the experience I had hoped for. Sarawak is so much more than orangutans, and in coming here to visit them I learned so much more about their world, our world and my own world. I had so many reasons for writing these books - to provide a quick guide for people who think travelling to a special place is beyond them and to enlighten people as to the magic that exists in certain spots, but these are also just simple stories… for dreamers, for those who know their legs will just not carry them to these places, for the unadventurous adventurer, for the person who can't imagine ever going or wanting to go, these stories are just a way of sharing my awareness of a certain place that was important in my journey, however that serves you. 'You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.” “I’ve just booked my first holiday in 13 years!” 'To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure!' Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of 'Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway' Not small, just travel size.

Vikings On Two Wheels: Bicycling Through England

Back from Asia, with a little money left over and lacking the sense to save it, we were on our way again, finding adventure on bicycles. Living in a tent and cooking on a small camp stove, we biked through England for six weeks and met people that told us their stories, some happy and some sad. The hospitality of strangers amazed us. They opened up their homes and themselves up to us. We were looking for answers now and were hoping to find them on the small roads in England, but we found them instead through the people we met.

Wild Shores: The bestselling atmospheric police procedural that has taken the world by storm

A disused quarry. A suspicious death. A dark past bubbling to the surface . . . Detective Inspector Karen Eiken Hornby is one of the few female police officers on the remote island nation of Doggerland, situated in the North Sea between the UK and Denmark. Though she returned to her homeland from London some years ago, she has largely avoided visiting the northernmost island, Noorö, where her father's wayward family reside. When a man's body is discovered on Christmas morning in a flooded quarry on Noorö there are questions surrounding his death. With illness and overseas holidays preventing any of her colleagues from attending, Karen has no choice but to head north to investigate. The stakes are raised when another body is found on New Year's Eve. However, with limited resources at her disposal and seasonal festivities causing delays, Karen is largely on her own - and she cannot shake the feeling that her relatives, with their somewhat lax approach to the rule of law, could be involved . . .

Il giro del mondo in solitaria

Davide Biga ha 36 anni quando decide che è il momento di fare qualcosa che lasci un segno nella sua vita. Sceglie quindi di dare forma a un'idea che coltivava già da anni: fare il giro del mondo in sella alla sua moto. Un anno di tempo, 4 continenti, quasi 100.000 chilometri e pochissimi soldi in tasca. Inizia così un' incredibile avventura in solitaria che farà parlare tv e giornali, appassionando migliaia di motociclisti e viaggiatori. Parte da Mondovì, in Piemonte e da lì Davide guida fino a Capo Nord, poi attraversa la Russia percorrendo tutta la Transiberiana, fino ad imbarcarsi per raggiungere il Giappone. Incontra gli orsi in Canada e attraversa i più diversi stati dell'America del Nord, dai freddi territori dell'Alaska fino alle spiagge della Florida. Dal Messico scende in Sudamerica, tra i colori della Colombia, della Bolivia, del Cile e dell'Argentina, spingendosi fino a Ushuaia per poi iniziare il lungo ritorno verso casa, risalendo l'Africa. I panorami mozzafiato e le intense ma spesso anche difficili esperienze di guida fanno da sfondo ai rapporti umani, il vero centro di questo viaggio. Di città in città, di paese in paese prende forma un percorso unico, intrapreso da un uomo che mai avrebbe pensato di lasciare la sua vita di tutti i giorni inseguendo un sogno e dimostrando che ogni tanto viaggiare a lungo e anche con tutte le difficoltà del caso, non solo è possibile, ma persino cambiarti la vita.

Di questi tempi

'Abbiamo paura dello sconosciuto? Il denaro è il nostro unico mezzo di scambio? È possibile vivere dei propri talenti e in maniera autentica?' Barbara Cassioli, nel tentativo di rispondere a queste domande, decide di partire da sola: da Bologna a Lampedusa, l'isola più meridionale d'Italia. La viscerale paura di rimanere senza soldi le dà il giusto spunto per affrontare il viaggio senza un euro in tasca, e tutto ciò che risparmia si traduce in una donazione per Mediterranea Saving Humans, l'associazione che si occupa di monitoraggio e salvataggio di naufraghi nel bacino del Mediterraneo. Il viaggio si delinea come una continua scoperta di realtà virtuose in cui vivere diversamente è possibile, forme di vita comunitaria, storie di cambiamento e ispirazione. L'Italia è bellissima. Lo è nei luoghi, nei paesaggi, nella natura, nei paesi e nelle città, ma soprattutto lo è nelle persone, nella loro capacità di accogliere e di condividere. Ad ogni passaggio in autostop, ad ogni nuova tappa e conoscenza Barbara scopre una realtà diversa, lontana dai meccanismi a cui siamo abituati nel quotidiano, un'Italia fatta di lentezza, vicina alla terra, alla fatica e all'autenticità. Un'Italia che sa ascoltare. In un momento storico che appare sempre più volto all'egoismo e all'individualismo, questo viaggio si pone come un intenso percorso di conoscenza di sé e di avvicinamento all'altro: la più bella forma di collettiva resistenza alle brutture di questi tempi.
