Cudzojazyčná / Anglická

A Buddhist monk takes up arms to resist the Chinese invasion of Tibet - then spends the rest of his life trying to atone for the violence by hand printing the best prayer flags in India. A Jain nun tests her powers of detachment as she watches her best friend ritually starve herself to death.

William Dalrymple delves deep into the heart of a nation torn between the relentless onslaught of modernity and the ancient traditions that endure to this day... v angličtine, obal, tvrdá väzba, 285 strán

The World Rapers

Spisovatel: Black Jonathan, Mayflower 1975
Katalogové číslo: G9384

"Rapers" follows the rise and fall of Jemel "Jimmy" Karami, a brilliant and utterly amoral Lebanese businessman. The plot tells two converging stories - Jimmy's ascension to power, and the desperate plan he concocts to hold his place as the mideast crumbles beneath him. Though mideastern, Karami is not Moslem - he's Christian Lebanese, and he's spent much of his life away from home, he's less a fixture of "le oriente" than the avarice of global commerce. The story opens in the late 1960's - with Jimmy's position brought to the brink by a Beirut banking crisis in late 1966. The "Six-Day War" only exacerbates the situation for Karami, who lives by making constant deals bankrolled by deposits in his Beirut bank.... malý formát, brožovaná, v angličtine, 464 strán
