The Adventures Of Amir Hamza (Reprint)

TheArabian Nights of the Mughal world in its definitive English translation. The Adventures of Amir Hamza dates back hundreds of years, perhaps to as early as the seventh century, when oral narratives of the deeds of the prophet Muhammed's uncle Amir Hamza spread through Arabia, Persia and the Indian subcontinent, expanding into a marvelous chronicle. The definitive one-volume Urdu text by Ghalib Lakhnavi and Abdullah Bilgrami appeared toward the end of the nineteenth century, but English translations of this text have always been censored and abridged - until now. In Musharraf Ali Farooqi's faithful rendition, The Adventures of Amir Hamza is captured with all its colourful action, ribaldry, and fantastic elements intact. Here is the spellbinding story of Amir Hamza the adventurer who loves Mehr-Nigar, the daughter of the Persian emperor, Naushervan. Guided by a clairvoyant called Bazurjmehr, protected by legendary prophets, and accompanied by his loyal friend, the ingenious trickster Amar Ayyar, Amir Hamza rides his devoted winged demon-steed, Ashqar, into combat against a marvelous array of opponents. A sweeping tale, The Adventures of Amir Hamza is an extraordinary creation and a true literary treasure.

Snow Flower And The Secret Fan

In nineteenth-century China, in a remote Hunan county, a girl named Lily, at the tender age of seven, is paired with a laotong, "old same," in an emotional match that will last a lifetime. The laotong, Snow Flower, introduces herself by sending Lily a silk fan on which she's painted a poem in nu shu, a unique language that Chinese women created in order to communicate in secret, away from the influence of men. As the years pass, Lily and Snow Flower send messages on fans, compose stories on handkerchiefs, reaching out of isolation to share their hopes, dreams, and accomplishments. Together, they endure the agony of foot-binding, and reflect upon their arranged marriages, shared loneliness, and the joys and tragedies of motherhood. The two find solace, developing a bond that keeps their spirits alive. But when a misunderstanding arises, their deep friendship suddenly threatens to tear apart.

Gorilla

Playful yet disturbing, Gorilla plunges us into the village of Kunjan Fields, in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. Here, amusing local thug Gorilla runs wild and poor Rocky Raj, his son, tries to distance himself from his father's antics. Rocky Raj immerses himself in his studies, but the Tamil Eelam Movement comes to town and he becomes a child soldier. Soon, however, he is thrown out by the Movement for not following orders - then recaptured and tortured. What will be this soldier's fate? Filled with characters as strange and violent as they are unforgettable- young girls with bombs concealed in their bosoms, delinquent boys, illicit liquor sellers, wily police inspectors, murderers, prostitutes, farmers, innocents - Gorilla was a literary sensation when it first arrived in 2002. Its publication this year marks the English language debut of a remarkable talent.

Execution

Unlike many other books on the market that stress high-minded, complex theories, Larry Bossidy's and Ram Charan's Execution is a unique and indispensable guide to corporate strategy that focuses on the quality most essential to every business -- the ability to get things done. Bossidy, the chairman and CEO of Honeywell International, and Charan, a much-praised adviser to companies such as General Electric, use the simple metaphor of building a house to illustrate the importance of execution: The concerns that often occupy the attention of executives -- incentive systems, process design, promotions, new approaches to organization structure -- are just the walls or roof of a house, while successful execution is the true core, the foundation upon which everything else rests. As the authors note in their introduction, "Execution is a systematic process of rigorously discussing hows and whats, questioning, tenaciously following through, and ensuring accountability." If you want to create an organization in which strategic planning and day-to-day operations are supported by tangible results, then this book will be an invaluable guide..
