Sinossi

In the heart of the Arabian Peninsula lies a land of captivating contrasts, where ancient traditions meet the winds of change. "The Shifting Desert" invites you on an immersive journey through Saudi Arabia, a country veiled in mystery and intrigue.

Through the eyes of a foreign traveler, you will encounter a tapestry of cultures, beliefs, and landscapes that defy easy definition. From the bustling souks of Riyadh to the serene beauty of the Empty Quarter, this book paints a vivid portrait of a land where modernity and tradition coexist in delicate balance.

Unravel the complexities of Saudi society, where tribal alliances and family honor hold sway, and where the teachings of Islam permeate every aspect of life. Meet the people who call this land home—merchants, nomads, veiled women, and progressive thinkers—each with their own unique story to tell.

Witness the challenges and triumphs of a nation in transition, as it grapples with the tensions between progress and preservation. Explore the dichotomy of a country where skyscrapers rise amidst ancient ruins, where women push boundaries while adhering to centuries-old customs.

"The Shifting Desert" is an invitation to understand the complexities of Saudi Arabia, a land where the sands of time are constantly shifting. It is a journey of discovery, a celebration of resilience, and a testament to the enduring spirit of a people bound by heritage and propelled by hope.

Join the author on this extraordinary odyssey and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of this enigmatic land. "The Shifting Desert" is a captivating narrative that will transport you to a world both familiar and foreign, leaving you with a newfound understanding of Saudi Arabia and its people.

    You’d think that being a Shopping Centre Santa at Christmas in Australia might be fun, but it’s actually full of tears, screaming, and tantrums… and the kids can be pretty wild, too. While working as a Stand-up Comedian, Darren Scott Sommer is suddenly thrust into the Big Red Suit at a major Adelaide shopping centre for an entire month. He used to think that handling hecklers was easy, but 6-year-olds can be really mean. 
    In this hilarious and eye-opening memoir, discover what really happens when you step into Santa’s boots. Follow Darren’s journey as he takes on the role at one of Adelaide’s biggest shopping centres in the outer suburb of Elizabeth. This is where he will spend the next four weeks remembering reindeer names, listening to requests for the latest toys, and being peed on by small children. 
    And before he can even settle into his new and unusual position, he finds himself being accused by centre management of promising an Xbox to an 8-year-old, getting asked by a little girl if Santa could bring her mum home from the hospital, and being told by a 12-year-old boy that he’s not the real Santa Claus… all while struggling to deal with the incredible heat that wearing wool, microfibre, and a polyester beard will produce in the middle of an Australian summer. 
    Equal parts comedy and confession, this book is for anyone who’s ever wondered what life is like behind the big white beard—and for those who know that sometimes the funniest stories come from the most unexpected places. 
    This is Santa, unwrapped.

    Inshallah United: A story of...

    Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Awards 2023 
    Nooruddean Choudry was born in 1979 — the year Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose, Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the last Shah of Iran, and Tim Martin opened his first Wetherspoons. Also that year, a local football club lost the Cup Final to Arsenal courtesy of a man named Sunderland. That club would become an all-consuming obsession for young Nooruddean, who would one day become a small brown man and, vitally, also a Red. 
    Inshallah United is the story of the first British-born son of a Pakistani family living in England’s second city. And geography is important, because if it wasn't for his mum and dad settling in Manchester rather than anywhere else in the world, so much of what makes up Nooruddean's identity could have been so different. As it was, he grew up as a Muslim, Manchester United supporting, Morrissey-loving, Maggie-hating, working-class Manc. 
    Inshallah United is about growing up as a strictly halal Stretford Ender; a devout Muslim and diehard Red. It’s about praying five times a day that United would sign Alan Shearer and knock the Scousers off their perch. And it’s a deeply personal account of life as a Muslim Asian Mancunian kid in the late 80s and 90s, bookmarked by the most successful period in Manchester United's history. 
    Inshallah United, the latest memoir by Nooruddean Choudry, is a top-rated autobiography that offers a humorous and heartfelt exploration of his life as a devout Muslim and diehard Red. This biography is a must-read for those interested in the topic of cultural identity and recreation. 
    For fans of Chris Blackhurst (The World's Biggest Cash Machine), Wayne Barton (The Last Busby Babe), Jonathan Wilson (Kick and Run), Andy Spinoza (Manchester unspun), and Rob Carless (Here, There & Everywhere).
