The Forgotten War - A Story of Mozambique

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

In the heart of southeastern Africa, where the azure waters of the Indian Ocean meet the vibrant tapestry of rolling hills, lies Mozambique, a land once ravaged by a brutal civil war that shattered its spirit and left deep wounds in its soul. The Forgotten War is a poignant tale of resilience, a testament to the indomitable spirit of a people who refused to surrender to despair.

Through the eyes of those who lived through the darkest days, we witness the birth of a nation, the rise of ideologies, and the descent into chaos. We hear the anguished cries of mothers mourning their lost children, the desperate pleas of soldiers trapped in a web of violence, and the whispered hopes of a people yearning for peace.

The Forgotten War is more than just a chronicle of courage and suffering, of shattered dreams and flickering embers of hope. It is a story of resilience, of a nation rising from the ashes of conflict, determined to reclaim its destiny. It is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable darkness, the light of hope can never be extinguished.

Yet, as we sift through the ashes of the past, we cannot ignore the lingering scars, the wounds that still fester beneath the surface. The legacy of the war continues to cast a long shadow over Mozambique, hindering its progress and perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality.

The Forgotten War is a clarion call to remember, to learn from the mistakes of the past, and to forge a path towards a brighter future. It is a story that demands our attention, a narrative that compels us to confront the demons of our past and to embrace the promise of a more just and equitable world.

Join us on this poignant journey through Mozambique's tormented past, as we explore the roots of a conflict that defied easy explanation, and witness the resilience of a people determined to heal and rebuild. The Forgotten War is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it, a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.

The Babel Message - A Love...

Keith Kahn-Harris

'Quite simply, and quite ridiculously, one of the funniest and most illuminating books I have ever read. I thought I was obsessive, but Keith Kahn-Harris is playing a very different sport. He really has discovered the whole world in an egg.' Simon Garfield
A thrilling journey deep into the heart of language, from a rather unexpected starting point.

Keith Kahn-Harris is a man obsessed with something seemingly trivial - the warning message found inside Kinder Surprise eggs:

WARNING, read and keep: Toy not suitable for children under 3 years. Small parts might be swallowed or inhaled.

On a tiny sheet of paper, this message is translated into dozens of languages - the world boiled down to a multilingual essence. Inspired by this, the author asks: what makes 'a language'? With the help of the international community of language geeks, he shows us what the message looks like in Ancient Sumerian, Zulu, Cornish, Klingon - and many more. Along the way he considers why Hungarian writing looks angry, how to make up your own language, and the meaning of the heavy metal umlaut.

Overturning the Babel myth, he argues that the messy diversity of language shouldn't be a source of conflict, but of collective wonder. This is a book about hope, a love letter to language.
'This is a wonderful book. A treasure trove of mind-expanding insights into language and humanity encased in a deliciously quirky, quixotic quest. I loved it. Warning: this will keep you reading.' - Ann Morgan, author of Reading the World: Confessions of a Literary Explorer

Orkney Days - An Island Life

Christine Muir

This is the charming and poignant account of twenty-five years spent in Orkney. After her marriage to an islander, Christine Muir went to live on the tiny island of North Ronaldsay, where she and her husband brought up their four children and ran a small croft.
Following the seasons though the year, Orkney Days is full of observations of the natural world at their doorstep. Beautiful descriptions of the island and its flora and fauna – from wildflowers and medicinal herbs to seals and seabirds – are mingled with memories of a young family growing up and the rhythms of daily life far from the bustle of the modern world. There is much too about the work involved in running their croft and the cattle and sheep that are its mainstay, about the traditions and lore of the island which stretch back over countless generations, and about the modern developments which changed it forever.
