  My Nile Odyssey - A memoir

  Kamil Idris

  • 0

  Kamil Idris, a man proud of his nomad ancestry, survived child labouring in darkened factories, boyhood journeys to Cairo balanced on the top of trains, hazardous treks to Europe in his teens, capture and death threats from piratical Nile fishermen who thought he was an evil spirit or djinn, and even being stranded in the ferocious heat of the Nubian desert. In later life, he was arrested and placed under house surveillance with his immediate family, because of his views on human rights and political reform. 
  Inspired by a promise to Nelson Mandela to write his memoir, the book is a cameo of a loving family devastated by a series of tragedies, of ancient souks, camel markets, eccentric characters, philosopher kings, and his father's tales of the earliest days of Africa, Nubia and the first wanderings of mankind. As a child, Kamil was taken to Meroe to gaze at the remains of the fabulous Kingdom of Kush which boasts twice as many pyramids as Egypt. Moreover, recent excavations are lifting a veil on the rediscovery of Sudan's astonishing Black Pharaohs, who once ruled over the whole of north east Africa and beyond over two and a half thousand years ago. 
  Above all the memoir is a magnificent celebration of and a tribute to Kamil's beloved and enduring River Nile, which he sees as a metaphor for all our destinies. It is an incredible story.

  An inspiring true story of an eleven year old boy’s rise from the tragic memories and utter despair of his years in an English Workhouse. His dreams and hope for a better life in the fledgeling Colony of Sydney, New South Wales, became a reality when in 1833 he emigrated with his wife and three small children. There he opened his business as a high class Saddler and Shoe and Boot maker in George Street. Through his extraordinary skills as a shrewd businessman, he was able to become a wealthy influential entrepreneur. Over the next 58 years, with the help of his large and devoted family, he was able to make a huge contribution, in business, local government, as well as socially and spiritually as a prominent Church Leader. Not only was his influence felt in the Eastern Suburbs, in particular, Waverley and Bondi, where he lived, but all of Sydney and parts of New South Wales. Joseph Dickson’s story has an important place in the history of our early development and as such deserves to be told in its entirety. Those who choose to read it will be richly rewarded.

  The Big Smoke

  Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Award and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, and the National Book Award in Poetry—a collection that examines the myth and history of the prizefighter Jack Johnson 
   
   
   
  The legendary Jack Johnson (1878–1946) was a true American creation. The child of emancipated slaves, he overcame the violent segregationism of Jim Crow, challenging white boxers—and white America—to become the first African-American heavyweight world champion. The Big Smoke, Adrian Matejka's third work of poetry, follows the fighter's journey from poverty to the most coveted title in sports through the multi-layered voices of Johnson and the white women he brazenly loved. Matejka's book is part historic reclamation and part interrogation of Johnson's complicated legacy, one that often misremembers the magnetic man behind the myth.
