Welcome to Paradise / Mahi Binebine. - [miejsce nieznane] : Eland Publishing : Legimi, 2025.

Welcome to Paradise opens a window into the hearts and minds of a small group of African would-be emigrants, waiting on the beach in Morocco for a boat that will take them to a new life in Europe. As we shelter with them in the darkness, we hear of the cruelty, misfortune and grinding poverty which has compelled them here, to pit themselves against the dangers of the sea and the coastguards who patrol it. Tense, dramatic and deeply compassionate, Welcome to Paradise is a striking tale of human desperation and of the media-fuelled fantasies of Western life that rarely fulfil their promise yet hold a fatal allure.

Eothen / Alexander Kinglake. - [miejsce nieznane] : Eland Publishing : Legimi, 2024.
Author
Kinglake Alexander. Autor
Form of Work
E-booki
One of the most witty and idiosyncratic travel books, Eothen started out as a few notes scribbled on the back of a map for a friend, but took Kinglake seven years of painstaking work to finesse. The physical details of the journey, undertaken in 1834 through Turkey, Cyprus, the Holy Land, Cairo and Damascus, are barely mentioned. The infectious charm lies in the conversations, the whimsical chance encounters and the attitudes of the author. Over the years, Kinglake has been recognised as a stylist without equal.

Paper Road / Nigel Macfarlane. - [miejsce nieznane] : Eland Publishing : Legimi, 2026.
Author
Macfarlane Nigel. Autor
Form of Work
E-booki
Nigel Macfarlane has worked alongside artisan papermakers in India, Nepal and Bhutan for more than forty years. Paper Road tells the story of that journey and of his engagement not just with the place but with handmade paper and with an age-old craft. His account ranges from the contemporary to the distant past, from India's tropical south to the remotest valleys of the Himalayas. It contains characters whose stories reveal the region as it is rarely seen. While the book looks at the influence of such towering figures as Gandhi and Sri Aurobindo on Indian papermaking, at its heart are the many uncelebrated individuals Nigel comes across on his paper journey. We come to feel the passion of the professor in Pune who is determined to prove that papermaking originated in India not China and the irrepressible energy of Shiva Ram in Nepal, who starts a village cooperative to grow the lokta bark needed to make paper. And we meet the brilliant and mercurial Vasudevan with whom Nigel set up a paper factory in South India, a factory which now supplies handmade papers to artists on every continent. Paper Road combines a refreshing sense of purpose, veracity, dry humour and real experience.
