«India er overveldende,» skriver Torbjørn Færøvik i sitt forord til boka. Det enorme antallet innbyggere, hele 1,4 milliarder mennesker – det utgjør seksten prosent av hele verdens befolkning – alle språkene og kulturene, de etniske motsetningene, kastesystemet – dette mangfoldet og de utallige motsetningene gjør landet vanskelig, kanskje umulig, å forstå. India er annerledes enn alt annet. De er en viktig global aktør og har verdens femte største økonomi. Samtidig har de noen av de mest forurensede byene i verden. Nesten en fjerdedel av innbyggerne lever under fattigdomsgrensen, kvinnene har lav status i samfunnet, millioner av indere lider under alvorlig vannmangel og flere storbyer står i fare for å slippe opp for grunnvann.

Færøvik gjør sveip innom indus-sivilisasjonen, som regnes blant verdens eldste, allerede da med svært folkerike byer og avansert infrastruktur, den listige Aleksander den stores erobringstokt før krigeren Ashoka samlet India til ett rike på 200-tallet f. Kr. og skapte historiens første velferdsstat! India er også hinduisme, fortellingene om Buddha, den berømte elskovsguiden Kamasutra: «I likhet med etikk og rikdom er seksualitet en av sivilisasjonens søyler», islams inntog på 600-tallet, mektige sultaner, blant dem en kvinne: Razia Sultana besteg tronen i 1236 etter sin far og ble den første muslimske hersker i Sør-Asia, Vasco da Gamas og andre portugiseres handelsfremstøt i sør, mogulenes inntog i nord, kolonitiden, Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru og mye, mye mer. Færøvik sammenfatter historien fra tidenes morgen til i dag.

Akkurat nå er India svært hardt rammet av pandemien. Hvor går veien videre? «Framtida avhenger av hva du gjør i dag», sa Mahatma Gandhi. Boka er rikt utstyrt med både bilder, kart og illustrasjoner, og har med en tidslinje med viktige årstall.

Bradt Travel Guides er et engelsk forlag med over 200 titler som i hovedsak er skrevet for turister som bruker offentlige transportmidler og egne ben. Bradt har vunnet mange priser for reisehåndbøkene sine som er kjent for å være sterke på mindre kjente reisemål som ikke er overfylt av turister. Forfatterne sørger gjerne for å gi bøkene en personlig ”touch”, og er ikke redde for å være subjektive. Dette gjør dem både til tider morsomme, i tillegg til å være informative og enkle å lese.

This new, thoroughly updated sixth edition of Bradt's Armenia remains the only standalone, English-language guide to this mountainous post-Soviet republic at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Packed with detailed background information and invaluable practical advice, Bradt's Armenia remains the essential choice for anyone travelling to this beautiful country, which is now easily and cheaply accessed by air. Following recent political changes, the story of this new republic is rapidly being rewritten, with transformations extending far beyond the vibrant capital of Yerevan.

Road infrastructure has greatly improved, while rural tourism is coming to life in even far-flung provinces, thereby catering for visitors exploring well off the beaten path. New elements in this edition include: expanded treatment of new budget accommodation in Yerevan and provincial capitals; enhanced information on Yerevan designed to inspire the city-break visitor, encompassing arts, culture and nightlife; a wealth of new information for adventurous travellers, including about more than 300km of new hiking trails established since 2018; and an enhanced language section designed to facilitate communication with Armenians. Bradt's Armenia provides the information needed for a successful trip, covering all the most popular sights as well as those off-the-beaten track, including Dilijan National Park and the stunning forested mountains of Tavush, a region undergoing a renaissance as a place to reconnect with nature; Areni village, one of the birthplaces of wine; and Vayots Dzor, the 'valley of woes', whose side valleys are abundant with wildlife-spotting opportunities.

This new, thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt's Lebanon remains the only English-language guide dedicated to the smallest country on the Asian continent. Comprehensively updated throughout to reflect recent economic, political and social changes, it includes revised and new listings for hotels, restaurants, and what to see and do, catering for all types of travellers and budgets. Although only half the size of Wales, Lebanon offers extraordinary diversity.

Some of the world's oldest human settlements, including the Phoenician ports of Tyre and Byblos - two of Lebanon's five World Heritage sites - sit alongside modern Beirut. The absorbing capital is popular for its world-renowned cuisine, eclectic nightlife, mosaic of peoples and kaleidoscope of religions. In Lebanon's second city, Tripoli, busy medieval souks are watched over by a vast Crusader castle.

Nearby, snow-capped mountains and the lush Qadisha Valley with its snaking river and waterfalls provide entertainment for skiers and hikers (the latter also well served by the Lebanon Mountain Trail, which runs virtually the length of the country). Three hundred days of sunshine per year makes Lebanon a 'go anytime' destination, with the Mediterranean coastline particularly drawing sun-seekers and water-sports enthusiasts. Wildlife-lovers can enjoy Shouf Biosphere Reserve (with its famed cedar trees, the national emblem) and the Aammiq Wetlands, while Lebanon has become a major destination for religious tourism, and vinophiles can visit numerous Bekaa Valley wineries of international repute.

This new third edition of Bradt's Israel has been fully updated to reflect all the most recent changes and includes a comprehensive and detailed history section, plus improved maps and structural revisions to aid navigation. Israel is a land where three world religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - meet in stunning landscapes, where ancient architecture stands next to modern, where the fertile north spills into the arid southern desert and where the secular live alongside the devout. From its ancient history and the sacred Jewish, Christian and Muslim sites of Jerusalem, to modern Tel Aviv with its trendy districts, countless museums and bustling markets, Israel has a lot more to offer than meets the eye.

In Bradt's Israel you'll find tips on the top hotels and restaurants, details of local wines, fascinating hiking routes, plus all the information to get the best from Israel's range of attractions. Each town shows the vast diversity of culture and traditions. Jerusalem offers an insight into the history of one of the world's most poignant cities, whilst Tel Aviv is awash with boulevards and epitomises modernity.

In turn Haifa is a true seaside gem, with its striking Baha'i Persian gardens, whilst Nazareth is the throbbing heart of Arab hospitality and warmth. From archaeological remains of Crusader castles and Roman cities, scuba diving off Eilat's coast, marvelling at the mountainous Golan Heights to floating in the Dead Sea and discovering cool wadis and thermal baths, Bradt's Israel is the perfect travelling companion, enlightening and enhancing every trip.
