'This novel is one of his finest in a long and redoubtable oeuvre' William Boyd, New York Times From renowned author Paul Theroux comes a fascinating, atmospheric novel inspired by George Orwell's years in Burma There is a short period in everyone's life when his character is fixed forever . . .

' George OrwellEric Blair stood out amongst his fellow police trainees in 1920s Burma. Nineteen years old, unusually tall, a diffident loner fresh from Eton, after five years spent in the narrow colonial world of the Raj – a decaying system steeped in overt racism and petty class-conflict – he would emerge as the George Orwell we know. Drawing on all his powers of observation and imagination, Paul Theroux brings Orwell's Burma years to radiant life, tracing the development of the young man's consciousness as he confronts the social, racial and class politics and the reality of Burma beyond.

Through one writer, we come to understand another - and see how what Orwell called 'five boring years within the sound of bugles' were in fact the years that made him. One of John Irving’s best books of the 21st century‘Thoroughly enjoyable . .

Hav på alle kanter opphever dagens landegrenser og tegner et levende portrett av det Nord-Atlantiske havområdet, denne historiske, kulturelle og genetiske smeltedigelen som deler en felles keltisk og norrøn arv. Leseren kommer tett på øyfolk og tradisjoner, myter og historier, triumfer og tragedier som forteller hvordan naturen og havet har formet, og fortsatt former, livet på øyene.

Så lenge det har bodd mennesker langs Nord-Atlanterens kyster, har de delt den dypt menneskelige trangen til å utforske det ukjente. Det er som om mennesker burde hatt gjeller og svømmehud mellom tærne, for så snart de fikk sjansen, la de ut på havet med livet som innsats. Før nåtidens kart og nasjonale grenser ble til, øyhoppet folk mellom Norge og Shetland, Orknøyene og Hebridene, Man, Irland, Færøyene og Island uten tanke på pass eller grensekontroll. De kastet seg ut i bølgene i uthulte stokker, lette skinnbåter, klinkbygde skip, fiskefartøy og skuter. De handlet med hverandre og giftet seg med hverandre, inspirerte hverandre eller fortrengte hverandre. Under vikingtiden ble øyene også tilknyttet Norge på ulike måter, som skattland under den norske kongen og gjennom erkebiskopen i Trondheim.

Øyer er samfunn i miniatyr. Når man er omgitt av hav på alle kanter, er innbyggerne i samme båt, bokstavelig talt – og mer eller mindre avhengige av hverandre. Å bo på en øy kan være klaustrofobisk, romantisk, forblåst, uhyggelig, ensomt, frustrerende, fredelig – men sjelden kjedelig.

En hel verden fulgte dramaet som utspilte seg i Beslan i Nord-Kaukasus i september 2004. 186 barn og 147 voksne mistet livet i en av historiens mest brutale terroraksjoner. Hva skjedde egentlig i løpet av de tre døgnene og hvem var terroristene? En søvnig småby var forandret for alltid. Hvordan er det mulig å leve videre etter en slik katastrofe? I Englebyen møter vi de overlevende og etterlatte på nært hold, og gjennom dem blir vi kjent med et helt, lite samfunn. Samtidig er boken en jakt på sannheten. Hvilket ansvar hadde Vladimir Putin og de russiske spesialstyrkene for det tragiske utfallet, og hvorfor har kritikere av myndighetenes fremgangsmåte blitt forsøkt kneblet? Dette er beretningen om en småby og dens levende og døde innbyggere.

I en årrekke var Tomm Kristiansen vår «stemme fra Afrika». I denne boka gjengir han Afrikas historie fra menneskehetens begynnelse til dagens moderne samfunn på en konsis og engasjerende måte. Afrika på 200 sider tar oss med gjennom tid og landegrenser. Kristiansen viser oss menneskene, kulturene og rikene som har påvirket og definert historien til de femtifire afrikanske landene: fra Zimbabwekongedømmet og Malidynastiet, gjennom regnskoger og ørkener, slaveri, kolonitid og apartheid, til dagens demokratier, konflikter, seire og utfordringer.

ITM har kart over hele verden og de spesialiserer seg på land litt utenfor allfarvei. Beliggenheten til landets nasjonalparker, historiske monumenter, de viktigste veiene o.L. Finner du inkludert i kartene. Samtlige landkart har ofte et bykart over hovedstaden.

Fra ITM: We are very pleased to be able to release a double-sided detailed map of Portugal. Although we have included the country in previous maps, it was always as an adjunct to another map (Spain and Portugal, Portugal and Southern Spain etc.), so it is high time that this very nice popular country had its own ITM map. Being a long, rather thin country, Side 1 concentrates on Lisbon and the southern half of Portugal with a detailed inset map of Lisbon. It also includes the Spanish provinces of Huelva and Badajoz. Side 2 covers the northern half of the country along with portions of neighbouring Spanish provinces. As a country, Portugal has a wealth of touristic attractions and we have included as many as we can on this map without cluttering it – castles, palaces, fortresses, cathedrals and churches, dozens of museums, beaches, a few hotels, mines, monuments, and just about everything a visitor would want to have. Of course, motorways, highways, secondary routes, rail lines, ferry services, and geographic heights of land are also included; altogether, a fabulous map for a wonderful country.

For 15 years, award-winning travel writer Stephen McClarence and his BBC Radio journalist wife Clare Jenkins made a series of journeys through India to learn about one of its most eccentric and fast-dwindling communities: the Anglo-Indians. Mainly descendants of British men and Indian women, their combined heritage stretches back 350 years through the times of the East India Company and the British Raj. In Jhansi - a railway hub in the state of Uttar Pradesh and inspiration for John Masters's 1950s book Bhowani Junction - the Anglo-Indian community is reduced to around 30 families.

Teatime at Peggy's shares their stories. Inspired by Jenkins' own Anglo-Indian family connections, the couple immersed themselves in the customs of this little-known dimension to India, soon developing a profound affection for their new friends, particularly for two of the area's most memorable figureheads: the title character 'Aunty Peggy', daughter and widow of railwaymen, overseer of the European cemetery, and 'friend of the great and the good, the rich and the poor'; and Captain Roy Abbott, the last British landowner in India, who never dined without wearing a blazer, cravat and immaculately pressed trousers. The authors spent hours at Peggy's kitchen table - eating cake, samosas and curry; drinking tea; welcoming eccentric characters, like Pastor Rao who could recite Winston Churchill speeches from memory; listening to stories, told in lilting accents, of the Railway Institute and May Queen Balls, Monsoon Toad Balls (where 'the ugliest, most hideous-looking man' would win the prize), waltzes and foxtrots, dancing in the jungle to Victor Silvester gramophone records, games of rummy and housey-housey, and Anglo-Indian cookery that embraced plum cake, goat's brain curry, Mulligatawny soup and crème caramel.

Warm, humorous and evocative, Teatime at Peggy's is a lyrical, loving homage to the Anglo-Indians. Filled with larger-than-life characters and with the ever-present exhilaration of 21st-century India, it is both intimate and revelatory, and a testament to the importance of tradition, community and friendship. This enchanting book is for anyone who knows India well - or who simply yearns to take the 'trip of a lifetime' to the 'sub-continent' and see things a little differently.

Journey through Southern India is a delightfully irreverent yet insightful travel memoir that invites readers to join two wisecracking retirees on an extraordinary three-week odyssey across the dazzling landscapes of southern India. It neatly fills in some of the geographical gaps left after the duo's tour of northern India, described in author Mark Probert's 2021 book, Journey through India (2021). The two British pensioners' latest 'trip of a lifetime' proves to be an unforgettable tour brimming with strange encounters, near-misses and life-affirming moments.

This book's refreshing candour and gentle wit sweep readers into a kaleidoscope of rich experiences. With travels taking in the bustling streets of Mumbai and the serene backwaters of Kerala, ancient temples of Hampi and the modern experimental township of Auroville, the cricket world cup and the world's largest bust, this fast-moving narrative is an immersion into a dazzling world of vibrant colours, exotic aromas and cacophonous soundscapes. From your armchair, you can meet an internationally famous yoga guru, swim in the Arabian Sea and celebrate Diwali in what was once the world's second-largest city, Hampi.

Whether dodging Delhi belly with a thimbleful of Imodium, nearly causing an international incident at the Auroville exhibition centre or finding themselves accidentally stoking political fervour at a Mumbai rally, Mark and his best friend Nick gamely stumble into experiences that would shake travel certainties in even the most daring souls. Yet it is his openness to adventure, self-deprecating humour in the face of chaos and profound appreciation for the diversity of the human spirit that makes Mark such an enchanting and compelling guide on this intercultural exploration of India's intoxicating extremes. Fun yet thoughtful, and written in richly descriptive prose, Journey through Southern India takes readers far beyond a typical tour itinerary to deliver an authentic, amusing and surprisingly moving account of a traveller's quest for perspective, connection and meaning amid the beautiful contradictions of the subcontinent.

This is a perceptive, open-hearted memoir of an unforgettable journey - one that inspires us to live every adventure to its fullest.

In A Long Way South, itinerant traveller Sara Stewart relates memories salvaged from her explorations of Latin America during 1974/5, a turbulent, politically unstable period where kidnappings and smuggling were commonplace, where dead bodies lined the roads and where tanks guarded the streets of two capitals following a military coup and insurgency. Posing as the ship captain's niece, Sara crossed the Atlantic in a cargo boat before docking in Veracruz, Mexico. There she followed an Irishman and his pack of hounds as they hunted jackals through desert cacti, then met film makers and fishermen - and fell in love.

Travelling by local buses and trains, she gradually headed south, watching dead bodies pile up in Central American countries and celebrating Christmas in El Salvador, before eventually reaching South America. In Ecuador she rode on a train roof through towering landscapes and encountered tribal people, then travelled by sea to the fabled Galápagos Islands. Once back on the South American mainland, she braved rampant lawlessness in Lima, tanks and troops lining the streets of the Peruvian capital.

In Bolivia she joined a bus full of female smugglers, traversed flooded rivers and survived freezing nights. Tanks also characterised Sara's time in Santiago, the Chilean capital, which had just experienced a military coup that ended democracy and established General Pinochet's long-lasting dictatorship. Continuing southwards, Sara crossed the vastness of Patagonia to endure rough seas on a boat with esteemed author Bruce Chatwin, before venturing across the Andes into Argentina.

The country proved to be out of control, characterised by crazy inflation, political mayhem and kidnappings, and abject poverty contrasting with ostentatious wealth. Reaching Brazil, Sara's journey culminated with marvelling at Iguaçu Falls before unexpectedly partying with notorious Great Train Robber and fugitive Ronnie Biggs near Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema Beach. An authentic recollection of intrepid travels during an era long before travel became straightforward, the memoirs collated in A Long Way South are a thrilling, engaging read - a compendium of tales as much about remarkable people as they are about the diverse, fascinating places and charged political situations that characterised 1970s Latin America.
