Beschreibung

There are at least 239 stories waiting to be told at length – those of the families of 239 
passengers of MH370, how their lives took a turn on March 8th 2014 when MH370 
disappeared. 
This is the story of one person, Naren, who lost his wife, Chandrika on that flight. 
The probability of survivors diminished with each passing day. As the months went by, 
Naren remained pre-occupied, wrestling over what to believe. Some friends argued 
insistently against doomsday conclusions and spoke of their dreams as the basis to 
keep up hope. Many others, including Naren's daughter, preferred silence over 
predictions. The one argument against which there was no counter was: Where is the 
evidence? Where is the debris? Where are the passengers? 
Life After MH370 documents Naren's experience with loss, grief, trauma and sorrow. 
The struggle with 'ambiguous loss' morphs into a ceaseless search, for the scent of a 
cover-up, for the truth, for that explanation that satisfies and helps one move on. A loss 
that meant critically resizing shared dreams, reconfiguring relationships and attempting 
to find a purpose that anchor him in the present. 
There is the hint of a promise in KS Narendran's story – of existential truths about living 
and dying that might help anyone who comes upon this book.

    An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
