Beschreibung

"In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that BLOSSOM at their feet." Albert Schweitzer, Theologian. Aklima Bibi's story is no ordinary story. It reveals a cycle of violence from her forced marriage, the domestic abuse she endured, the failure and subsequent corruption of the police she desperately wanted to help her and even an attempted contract killing. Her sin?; she was an educated British Bangladeshi woman, an intelligent professional who was used and abused in the name of money, property and most significantly, for her UK passport. "We're seeing a generational strategy to emigrate to the UK." Alan Morrison, the British Consul in Bangladesh, BBC – My Forced Unwanted Wedding, 2011. Londoni Bride is the alarming true story of how Aklima found herself a modern-day slave in Britain in the name of honour and izzat. Her experiences are timely and devastating, as they expose the growing trend of trading young women for their extended family's betterment. She was expected to support not only her own family, but her abusive husband's family too. Aklima Bibi has fought valiantly against the odds for her rights as a Muslim woman, for her right to an education, a career and for her children's future. Her story shines a light on a grievous injustice being suffered by countless young British Muslim women today.

    For "Old Plantation Days: Being Recollections of Southern Life Before the Civil War" by Nancy Bostick De Saussure, the most fitting BISAC (Book Industry Standards and Communications) category would be "HISTORY / United States / Civil War Period (1850-1877)." This category encompasses works that delve into the era surrounding the Civil War, including personal narratives and recollections that provide insights into daily life, societal norms, and the social fabric of the time. Given the book's focus on recounting life in the Southern United States before the outbreak of the Civil War, this classification helps to situate it within a broader historical context for readers and researchers interested in the period.

    William Young was the son of gentleman farmer Henry Young who owned Cotchford Farm in the mid-nineteenth century. At the age of just twenty-three William left the farm for what we might now term a 'gap year' working in Canada. This book, based on his own diary from 1854/5, tells the fascinating story of his journey via Liverpool and onwards on a three-masted schooner to New York, Buffalo and eventually Lake Erie. The voyage had its own perils, a long way from transatlantic travel today. Unbeknown to our diarist, the ship he travelled on was part of a criminal enterprise and eventually suffered both mutiny and wreck. In the mill towns on Lake Erie Young proves an indispensable worker both on crops and stonework. Just as he is about to return to England he is beset with difficulties..... His is a young, clear voice on life a hundred and sixty years ago.

    Welcome to Rik Mayall’s outrageous outtakes from his last ever audio work, which with the comic genius in the editing chair, was his interpretation of a series of Grimms style fairytales, reimagined by Mike Bennett. But there is a twist in the tale! Sit down and witness the man himself off-grid, delivering the stories in his unique, inimitable, crooked style with all the humility he could muster. Rik rehearses, chats, adlibs, cusses, and blasphemes in a way that only he could get away with. 
     
    'Rik Mayall’s Famous! ...(Last Words)' marks the tenth anniversary of Rik’s untimely passing in June 2014.
