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. Nine people, nine lives; each one taking a different religious path, each one an unforgettable story. 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

As Time Goes By

Spisovatel: Bowling Harry, BCA 1997
Katalogové číslo: H533

This is a vivid depiction of an East End community that has all but vanished. Carter Lane is an ordinary backstreet in Bermondsey and, for Dolly and Mick Flynn, it is home. When World War Two breaks out they know that nothing will be quite the same again. As the Blitz starts to take its toll and the close-knit community in Carter Lane endures the sorrows and partings which they had dreaded above all else, they find comfort in one another and solace in the knowledge that their wounds will eventually heal - as time goes by. "As Time Goes By" is a vivid portrayal of an East End community struggling to survive the horror of the Blitz. Heartbreaking and compelling, this is the story of a community in its darkest and yet finest hour... v angličtine, tvrdá väzba, obal, 350 strán
