This is the story of a boy growing up in the war-torn Jerusalem of the 40' and 50's, in a small apartment crowded with books in 12 languages and relatives nearly as many. The story of an adolescent whose life has changed forever by his mother's suicide when he was 12 years old. The story of a man who leaves the constraints of his family and its community of dreamers, scholars, and failed businessmen to join a kibbutz, change his name, marry, have children. The story of a writer who becomes an active participant in the political life of his nation. Translated from the Hebrew by Nicholas de Lange.

'A man went to knock at the king's door and said, Give me a boat. The king's house had many other doors, but this was the door for petitions. Since the king sent all his time sitting at the door for favors (favors being offered to the king, you understand), whenever he heard someone knocking at the door for petitions, he would pretend not to hear...' Why the petitioner required a boat, where he was bound for, and who volunteered to crew for him the reader will discover as this narrative unfolds. And at the end it will be clear that if we thought we were reading a children's fable we were wrong. We have been reading a love story, a philosophical tale worthy of Voltaire or Swift.

'A series of aphorism which Huston sometimes leaves in their striking simplicity and sometimes develops with subtle reasoning.' -Le Monde

In these 11 stories, Rohinton Mistry opens our eyes and our hearts to the rick, complex patterns of life inside Firozsha Baag, an apartment building in Bombay. Her are Jaakaylee, the ghost-seer, and Najamai the only owners of a refrigerator in the building; Rustomji the Curmudgeon and Kersi, the young boy whose life threads through the book and who narrates the final story as an adult in Toronto. We see their passions, their worst fears, their betrayals, and their humorous act of revenge. Witty and poignant, in turns, these intersecting stories create a finely textured mosaic of lives and illuminate a world poised between the old ways nd the new.

Eight stories by Edgar Allan Poe , retold by Tony Allan for today's reader with atmospheric illustrations, an introduction and notes.

Here are stories of men and women caught up in the drama of a big war. It is the story of the young marine who falls madly in love with a beautiful Tonkinese girls. It is the story of Nurse Mellie and her French planter, Emile De Becque. But mostly it is the story of soldiers, sailors, and nurses playing at war and waiting for love in a tropic paradise.
