Sinopse

A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.

    "The Utøya Monster: The Disturbing Evolution of Anders Breivik" is a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most haunting episodes in modern history. This meticulously researched book delves deep into the life, mindset, and actions of Anders Breivik, the man behind the tragic Utøya Island massacre and the Oslo bombing. With sensitivity and insight, it unravels the complex web of influences and experiences that led to his transformation from an ordinary individual to a cold-blooded killer. 
    The book meticulously analyzes his manifesto, uncovering the sources and ideas that shaped his extremist ideology, as well as the distorted worldview and conspiracy theories that fueled his actions. 
    "The Utøya Monster" goes beyond the surface to offer a nuanced psychological profile of Anders Breivik, exploring his personality traits, including narcissism and misogyny, as well as the role of emotional deprivation and social isolation in his actions. It delves into his acquisition of firearms and explosives, as well as the methods he employed to evade detection, exposing the chilling lengths he went to carry out his sinister plan. 
    This groundbreaking book is a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of Anders Breivik's disturbing evolution and the profound impact his actions had on individuals, communities, and the world. With its powerful narrative and insightful analysis, "The Utøya Monster" is a poignant reminder of the importance of addressing the root causes of radicalization and fostering a society built on compassion, tolerance, and peace.

    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

    The Last Courtesan was his mother's story. Nautch Boy tells his own. 
     
    A sweet-faced, quiet boy dressed in matching pink shorts and a top poses demurely for a photograph in a kotha, holding a flower vase with plastic white daisies in it. Powdered, scented women around him sparkle and pirouette like movie stars on the silver screen. The boy looks at them in awe. Will he be able to join them in this evening of glamour and music? When will he become a nautch boy?  
    His dream is jinxed by his courtesan mother Rekhabai's ambition to secure his future away from every last thing that ties him to the kotha. But can he silence the music in his veins?  
    Sent off to a boarding school in the hills, the boy learns to balance the two worlds-he can undulate his hips to popular Hindi songs like his mother but also recite by heart the poems of Rossetti and Shelley.  
    Nautch Boy is Manish Gaekwad's account of being born and raised in a disrespected environment at odds with his privileged education. He finds his vocation as a reporter, screenwriter and a novelist, and eventually replaces that flower vase of fake white daisies with colourful stories of love, laughter and decay from the kothas.

    Ngā Kete Mātauranga - Māori...

    In this beautiful and transformative book, 24 Māori academics share their personal journeys, revealing what being Māori has meant for them in their work. Their perspectives provide insight for all New Zealanders into how mātauranga is positively influencing the Western-dominated disciplines of knowledge in the research sector. It is a shameful fact, says co-editor Jacinta Ruru in her introduction to Nga Kete Mātauranga, that in 2020, only about 5 percent of academic staff at universities in Aotearoa New Zealand are Māori. Tertiary institutions have for the most part been hostile places for Indigenous students and staff, and this book is an important call for action. ‘It is well past time that our country seriously commits to decolonising the tertiary workforce, curriculum and research agenda,’ writes Professor Ruru.
