A feminist classic of Partition literature in a newly revised translation by Booker Prize-winning translator Daisy Rockwell. A Penguin Classic Set in the turbulent decade of 1940s India, The Women's Courtyard illuminates a unique perspective on the Partition. The novel follows the struggles of a Muslim family from the perspective of the youngest daughter, Aliya, during the years that lead to Independence. Mastur’s novel is conspicuously empty of the politicking and large national questions that played out, typically, in the arenas of men. Instead, it gives expression to the preoccupations of the women, whose lives are mostly circumscribed by the secluded courtyard of their home. As they deal with the poverty that engulfs the family as a direct result of the men's all-consuming passion for the Independence Movement, the women in the courtyard are left to run the household on shrinking means, and Aliya attempts to gain an education against all odds. Set within the strict religious and social framework of a once-prominent family, The Women's Courtyard invites us into Aliya's suffocating world, where women are forced to contend with deteriorating conditions, as they try desperately to hold up the social structure that confines them. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

The Women's Courtyard

Beck Paperback

Der Name Gandhi ist zum Synonym für gewaltlosen Widerstand und zivilen Ungehorsam geworden. In seiner berühmten Autobiografie legt Gandhi sich und der Welt Rechenschaft ab über sein Leben in Südafrika und Indien und den langen Kampf für die Unabhängigkeit Indiens, der ihn weit über das Land hinaus zur «Großen Seele» - Mahatma - machte. Eines der bedeutendsten politischen und spirituellen Manifeste des 20. Jahrhunderts ist für unsere Zeit neu zu entdecken. 
 In britischer Haft, nachdem er 1922 zivilen Ungehorsam organisiert und lange gefastet hatte, begann Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869 - 1948), die Geschichte seines Kampfes gegen Gewalt, Rassismus und Kolonialismus aufzuschreiben. Das berühmte Buch erscheint hier ungekürzt und neu übersetzt in einer unmittelbaren, frischen Sprache.

oder Die Geschichte meiner Experimente mit der Wahrheit

Mein Leben

'Funny, touching, thought-provoking . . . Richly imagined and deeply inventive' Guardian I'm going back in time to save this family. Eleven-year-old Zubair is a seventh son. This means a LOT of big brothers. But when Zubair's granny arrives from Pakistan and gives him a mysterious amulet, he discovers it means something else, too: he has inherited a gift. The seventh sons in his family have the ability to time-travel. With his dad a shadow of his former self since his car accident, and his mum always tired and angry, Zubair has a genius idea. He'll use time-travel to fix things between them. But each trip comes at a cost. If he changes something small in the past, it can have a huge effect on his future. And if he gets it wrong, the results could be devastating . . . An uplifting, unforgettable story about family, bravery and living in the here and now, perfect for fans of Time Travelling With a Hamster and Wonder. 'Spectacular' Sophie Anderson 'I loved it' Ross Welford 'Funny, exciting and tense . . . A wonderful, wonderful read' Phil Earle 'Will break your heart and make it soar . . . A triumph' Rashmi Sirdeshpande 'Witty and poignant' Louie Stowell 'Refreshingly inventive and gorgeously written . . . I could not put it down' Clare Harlow 'Astonishing' Philippa Leathley 'A small miracle of a book' Max Boucherat

The Night I Borrowed Time

New from Bradt is Afghanistan, the first travel guidebook to the country from a mainstream publisher in almost 20 years. Afghanistan is a paradox: a nation so well-known internationally, yet one so infrequently explored that it has been effectively untouched by tourism since being a key stop on the hippie trail four decades ago. The Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, China and the ex-USSR ‘stans collide in Afghanistan. It is both the graveyard of empires and one of the world’s most hospitable countries. From the searing deserts of the south to the high peaks of the Hindu Kush, any trip here is challenging – but one that is now eminently possible with the right preparation. Cue expert travel advice from Bradt’s authorial team, comprising an adventure-tourism specialist and a prolific guidebook-writer who cover all the practicalities needed to travel securely and rewardingly – from how female travellers should best enjoy the country to where to stay in Kabul, the sprawling capital. Even the most well-travelled visitor will find their soul stirred and their blood pumping from spending time in Afghanistan. Visit iconic locations such as the Khyber Pass, the Minaret of Jam (14 hours’ drive from the nearest paved road!) or the Buddha Niches of Bamian (even if the Taliban have destroyed the statues once found there). Go trekking with Kyrgyz nomads in the Pamir mountains. On the vast steppe, watch buzkashi, a sport where riders attempt to place a goat carcass in a goal. Stay in chaikhanas, communal tea houses that have changed little from the time of Silk Road traders. Enjoy Herat’s Timurid architectural gems. Visit the shrine of Hazrat Ali, Afghanistan’s pre-eminent pilgrimage site, in Mazar e Sharif. At Band e Amir, experience the country’s first national park, and take a swan-shaped pedalo across the lapis lazuli blue waters of its lakes. Follow in the footsteps of Marco Polo in the Wakhan Corridor. Or hike among the forested peaks of Nuristan, where non-Afghan visitors so rarely tread. With Bradt’s Afghanistan to inform and inspire you, the off-beat holiday of a lifetime beckons.

In this “absolutely brilliant, tension-filled tour de force” (Brad Thor) from New York Times bestselling author Terry Hayes, CIA spy Kane confronts an evil that could bring the world to a cataclysmic end. If, like Kane, you’re a Denied Access Area spy for the CIA, then boundaries have no meaning. Your function is to go in, do whatever is required, and get out again—by whatever means necessary. You know when to run, when to hide—and when to shoot. But some places don’t play by the rules. Some places are too dangerous, even for a man of Kane’s experience. The badlands where the borders of Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan meet are such a place—a place where violence is the only way to survive. Kane travels there to exfiltrate a man with vital information for the safety of the West—but instead he meets an adversary who will take the world to the brink of extinction. A frightening, clever, vicious man with blood on his hands and vengeance in his heart.

A Thriller

The Year of the Locust

On a journey through Pakistan, Mr B, an unflappable English gentleman, spots a young donkey struggling under a crushing load. Her fragile legs tremble, her eyes plead for help. In a heartbeat, he makes a decision that will change both their lives: he will rescue her - and take her home to London. 
But donkeys, as it turns out, don't fly. And so begins an unforgettable adventure: man and donkey, side by side, trekking across the Middle East and into Europe, step by improbable step. Along the way, they discover not just the kindness of strangers, but the sheer, kaleidoscopic wonder of the world itself. 
A charming gift book about friendship, wanderlust, and the courage to follow one's heart - perfect for travelers, dreamers, donkey-lovers, and anyone who cherishes the kind of story you carry with you for a lifetime.

The White Umbrella

Die neue große Autobiografie von Spitzenbergsteiger Alexander Huber

Überleben trotz Bergsteigen

Wer hierzulande an Pakistan denkt, dem fällt zuerst der Islamismus oder sogar Terrorismus ein. Den gibt es - aber es gibt noch sehr viel mehr. Die religiöse Vielfalt, die auch andere muslimisch geprägte Gesellschaften ausmacht, ist in Pakistan besonders ausgeprägt, bis hin zu einem lebendigen "Volksislam", der viele Theologen verzweifeln lässt. Kaum irgendwo ist ein derart komplexes und vielfältiges Ineinander von religiösen, gesellschaftlichen und politischen Strömungen zu beobachten. Der Islam ist - besonders in Pakistan - kein fertiges Gebäude, das man bewohnen kann oder nicht. Er ist ein Prozess, eine Arena gesellschaftlicher und politischer Auseinandersetzungen. Er bedeutet Austausch, Konkurrenz und gegenseitige Beeinflussung. Und so können wir am Beispiel Pakistan vieles über "den Islam" und islamische Gesellschaften lernen, was allzu leicht übersehen wird. Illustriert mit zahlreichen Farbfotografien.
