  Could you endure a life stripped of dignity, freedom, and hope? 
  In The House of the Dead, Fyodor Dostoevsky takes us deep into the harsh realities of a Siberian labor camp, where prisoners—thieves, murderers, and exiled intellectuals—struggle to retain their humanity in the face of suffering. Based on Dostoevsky’s own experiences in exile, this novel presents a vivid, unfiltered account of prison life, where cruelty and despair are tempered by fleeting moments of compassion and resilience. 
  Narrated through the eyes of Aleksandr Petrovich, an aristocrat sentenced to hard labor, the novel reveals the psychological torment of incarceration. Yet, amid the darkness, Petrovich finds surprising camaraderie among the prisoners, challenging his beliefs about crime, punishment, and redemption. 
  What You’ll Discover in This Modern Translation:A Harrowing True-to-Life Account – Experience Dostoevsky’s firsthand depiction of the brutal conditions in Siberian labor camps.A Deep Psychological Study – Explore themes of guilt, suffering, and the resilience of the human soul.A Masterpiece in a Fresh, Readable Style – This modern adaptation retains the depth of Dostoevsky’s prose while making it more accessible for contemporary readers.A Story of Redemption and Transformation – Witness how suffering shapes the lives of men and forces them to confront their deepest selves.

  Politician, peacemaker, persuader: John Hume was a titan of Irish history – a tireless architect of the Good Friday Agreement who received the Nobel Peace Prize for his part in ending decades of conflict in Northern Ireland.
  But who was the real John Hume? What motivated the former history teacher to reach beyond political lines? What sustained him during the bloodiest years of violence? How did he impel the IRA to end its long-running campaign? How did he convince presidents and prime ministers to take risks and back his vision for Northern Ireland? How should he be remembered?
  In John Hume: The Persuader, Stephen Walker draws on over 100 interviews with family members, colleagues and critics across the political spectrum, as well as never-before-published interviews with Hume himself, to present a probing, balanced and immensely readable portrait of one of the most significant political figures in Northern Ireland and the world.
  'The definitive biography of John Hume.' Freya McClements, Northern Editor, Irish Times
  'This superb biography does full justice to a towering figure.' David McCullagh, RTÉ Broadcaster and Author
  'A riveting portrait of a man who changed Ireland.' Gary Murphy, Professor of Politics (DCU) and Author
  'Scrupulously fair, deeply researched and insightful.' Sam McBride, Northern Ireland Editor, Belfast Telegraph

  The Viking Saint - Olaf II of...

  The Vikings and sainthood are not concepts normally found side by side. But Norway’s King Olaf II Haraldsson (c. 995-1030) embodied both to an extraordinary degree. As a battle-eager teenager he almost single-handedly pulled down London Bridge (as in the nursery rhyme) and took part in many other Viking raids. Olaf lacked none of the traditional Viking qualities of toughness and audacity, yet his routine baptism grew into a burning missionary faith that was all the more remarkable for being combined with his typically Viking determination and energy – and sometimes ruthlessness as well. His overriding mission was to Christianize Norway and extirpate heathenism. His unstinting efforts, often at great peril to his life, earned him the Norwegian throne in 1015, when he had barely reached his twenties. For the next fifteen years he labored against immense odds to subdue the rebellious heathen nobles of Norway while fending off Swedish hostility. Both finally combined against Olaf in 1030, when he fell bravely in battle not far from Trondheim, still only in his mid-thirties. After his body was found to possess healing powers, and reports of them spread from Scandinavia to Spain and Byzantium, Olaf II was canonized a saint 134 years later. He remains Norway’s patron saint as well as a legendary warrior. Yet more remarkably, he remains a saint not only of the Protestant church but also of the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches – perhaps the only European fighting saint to achieve such acceptance.

  Malayland

  What does it mean to be Malay in the 21st century? Especially in a country like Malaysia where identity politics is questioned on an almost daily basis, and policed by the state. 16 years later after the publication of I Am Muslim, Dina Zaman returns to write a memoir, writing about what it means to be Malay, and Muslim in the 21st century.  
   
  The writer embarked on Malayland during the Covid pandemic, to understand the anger and frustrations of her fellow ethnic Malays who were fighting against (imagined) enemies and a new world order impacted by a virus that killed over seven million people globally. She grew up in a Malaysia that was seething with anger, bubbling underneath the many nightclubs Malaysia was famed for in the 1980s, that witnessed how secularism killed its Malay Muslim heritage. The 1998 Reformasi movement changed Malaysia and whether for the better, is left up to Malaysians to decide.  
   
  Today race and faith are discussed and embraced frenetically, where hateful extremism is hidden under the guise of nationalism. Young Malaysians are asserting their political and birth identities through social media. And along the way, the sense of irony and humour that Malaysia is known for, has lost its way. Malayland is a reflective book: memories and flashbacks of a childhood filled with earthquakes, spooks and a sense of wonderment and curiosity about a country that is fighting for a desired identity.
