Sinossi

"Caribbean Sea Tales" explores the captivating history of the Caribbean, a region shaped by the collision of colonialism, piracy, and vibrant cultural exchange. From its earliest indigenous settlements to its current status as a global tourism hub, the book traces the complex forces that have molded the islands. Readers will discover how the Caribbean became a microcosm of global power dynamics, revealing the lasting impacts of colonialism and the remarkable resilience of its people.

 
The book chronicles the arrival of European powers and their rivalries, the rise of piracy as a challenge to colonial authority, and the brutal realities of the plantation system. The narrative incorporates historical documents and archaeological findings, shedding light on the lives of ordinary people and the interactions between different cultural groups.

 
One intriguing aspect is how the Caribbean's identity is defined by the blending of indigenous, European, African, and Asian influences, continuously negotiated through battles for dominance, plantation economies, and struggles for independence. Starting with the pre-colonial era and moving through the colonial period, the fight for independence, and the rise of tourism, "Caribbean Sea Tales" adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on history, geography, anthropology, and cultural studies. This provides a holistic understanding of the Caribbean's evolution and its significance in the context of global trade, post-colonialism, and maritime history.

    A narrator and her dog are criss-crossing the Swiss Alps. She travels with friends who share her interest in food, languages and their topographical contexts. They collect colours, even look for colourlessness, and develop the idea of a walk-in diary, a vain attempt to archive their observations.
Gradually, other mountains appear in their observations and memories, as do the mountains of literature and art. Mountains may be sites of fear and awe, of narrow-mindedness, racism and ever-looming collapse; Alpine lodges may be places of hospitality, retreat and unexpected encounters; of nature under threat.
In 515 notes, Zsuzsanna Gahse unfolds a finely woven interplay between her six characters while giving us a vivid panorama of mountain worlds, a multi-layered typology of all things mountainish.

    The Kurds are a distinct ethnic group native to the Middle East, primarily inhabiting the region known as Kurdistan, which stretches across parts of modern-day Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. They are an Iranian ethnic group with a history that spans thousands of years. The geographical area traditionally inhabited by the Kurds is marked by hilly terrain, particularly south of Lake Van and Lake Urmia. The majority of Kurds speak dialects of the Kurdish language, with Northern Kurdish (Kurmanji) and Sorani being the most widely spoken. 
The origins of the Kurdish people are the subject of various speculations, one of the most prominent being that they are descendants of the ancient Carduchoi, a people mentioned in classical antiquity. Over the centuries, the Kurds have maintained a distinct cultural and linguistic identity, despite the multiple empires that have ruled over their lands. Notably, the Kurdish dynasties that governed parts of the region from the 10th to the 12th century—such as the Hasanwayhids, Marwanids, Rawadids, and Shaddadids—serve as the earliest recorded examples of Kurdish political power under Islamic rule. Following these dynasties, the Ayyubid dynasty, founded by the legendary Saladin, further entrenched Kurdish influence in the region, especially in the wider Islamic world.
