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

Arbeitskommando

Spisovatel: Williams Elvet, Coronet books 1978
Katalogové číslo: O8904

Private Elvet Williams was captured in Crete in 1941. He was destined for imprisonment in the arbeitskommandos - work camps - of Europe. Isolated in hostile country, these camps worked their 'other ranks' prisoners long and exhausting hours. There was no energy left for forming Escape Committees, manufacturing disguises, false papers or money. And escaping involved not only breaking out of camp, but surviving the killing run for home across an enemy-occupied continent. But Private Williams was determined to escape - and to survive. ARBEITSKOMMANDO is the other side of the prisoner of war story; how ordinary men could still fight and overcome impossible odds to be free.... v angličtine, brožovaná, menší formát, 252 strán
