Tamas - Bhisham Sahni - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Tamas - Bhisham Sahni - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Tamas , Bhisham Sahni’s 1973 novel, is a product of the Partition’s devastation. It drew immediate and universal critical acclaim for its poignant and striking retelling of Partition and its bloody aftermath. Tamas is a story about how simmering communal tensions snowball into full-fledged riots that grip villages across the subcontinent. In a city in undivided Punjab, Nathu, a tanner, is bribed to kill a pig. When the animal’s carcass is discovered on the steps of the local mosque the next morning, brewing tensions explode into riots and massacre. A seemingly well planned and executed job by the British plants seeds of mistrust and hatred among those who, until the day before, had been close friends and neighbours. Tamas is a chilling reminder of the consequences of religious intolerance and communal prejudice.

Jude the Obscure - Thomas Hardy - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Jude Fawley, the stonemason excluded not by his wits but by poverty from the world of Christminster privilege, finds fulfilment in his relationship with Sue Bridehead. Both have left earlier marriages. Ironically, when tragedy tests their union it is Sue, the modern emancipated woman, who proves unequal to the challenge. Hardy''s fearless exploration of sexual and social relationships and his prophetic critique of marriage scandalised the late Victorian establishment and marked the end of his career as a novelist.

Feeding Britain - Tim Lang - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Feeding Britain - Tim Lang - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

How does Britain get its food? Why is our current system at breaking point?How can we fix it before it is too late? British food has changed remarkably in the last half century. As we have become wealthier and more discerning, our food has Europeanized (pizza is children''s favourite food) and internationalized (we eat the world''s cuisines), yet our food culture remains fragmented, a mix of mass ''ultra-processed'' substances alongside food as varied and good as anywhere else on the planet.This book takes stock of the UK food system: where it comes from, what we eat, its impact, fragilities and strengths. It is a book on the politics of food. It argues that the Brexit vote will force us to review our food system. Such an opportunity is sorely needed. After a brief frenzy of concern following the financial shock of 2008, the UK government has slumped once more into a vague hope that the food system will keep going on as before. Food, they said, just required a burst of agri-technology and more exports to pay for our massive imports. Feeding Britain argues that this and other approaches are short-sighted, against the public interest, and possibly even strategic folly. Setting a new course for UK food is no easy task but it is a process, this book urges, that needs to begin now. ''Tim Lang has performed a public service'' Simon Jenkins, Sunday Times

Tales from the Thousand and One Nights - Penguin Group (uk) - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Tales from the Thousand and One Nights - Penguin Group (uk) - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Sometimes known as the Arabian Nights , Tales from the Thousand and One Nights includes some of the world''s best-loved tales, including such classics as Aladdin and ''Sindbad the Sailor'' The tales told by Scheherazade over a thousand and one nights to delay her execution by the vengeful King Shahryar have become among the most popular in both Eastern and Western literature. From the epic adventures of ''Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp'' to the farcical ''Young Woman and her Five Lovers'' and the social criticism of ''The Tale of the Hunchback'', the stories depict a fabulous world of all-powerful sorcerers, jinns imprisoned in bottles and enchanting princesses. But despite their imaginative extravagance, the Tales are also anchored to everyday life by their bawdiness and realism, providing a full and intimate record of medieval Eastern world.In this selection, N.J. Dawood presents the reader with an unexpurgated translation of the finest and best-known tales, preserving their spirited narrative style in lively modern English. In his introduction, he discusses their origins in the East and their differences from Classical Arabic literature, and examines English translations of the tales since the eighteenth century.

Cynical, rebellious and immature, Botchan finds himself facing several tests, from the pupils - prone to playing tricks on their new, naïve teacher; the staff - vain, immoral, and in danger of becoming a bad influence on Botchan; and from his own as-yet-unformed nature, as he finds his place in the world. One of the most popular novels in Japan where it is considered a classic of adolescence, as seminal as The Catcher in the Rye , Botchan is as funny, poignant and memorable as it was when first published, over 100 years ago.Translated by J.

The School for Scandal and Other Plays - Richard Sheridan - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The School for Scandal and Other Plays - Richard Sheridan - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The three plays collected in this volume demonstrate Sheridan''s unerring ability to create unrivalled comedy out of ingenious plots, witty repartee, farcical situations and flamboyant characters. And while he never overtly moralizes, Sheridan uses brilliant comedy to deflate hypocrisy and satirize the manners of his age. In The Rivals, Captain Absolute becomes his own rival for the hand of Lydia Languish - wooing her under another name, while her aunt, the verbally inept Mrs Malaprop, wishes her to marry the real Captain. School for Scandal continues the theme of imposture when Sir Oliver tests his nephews by appearing to them in disguise, and learns that reputation and the approval of society are of little value. And The Critic, featuring the pompous Puff and the arrogant Sneer, is a mocking depiction of the theatre, playwrights and, of course, critics.
