An old man & his grandson sit in a deserted landscape of dusty roads & looming mountains. What are they waiting for? As we watch them we learn their story-Rahimi has managed to condense centuries of Afghan history into his short tale of three very different generations.

Anthony Burgess' epic masterpiece follows the lives of two men who each represent different kinds of earthly power. Kenneth Toomey is an eminent novelist, world-famous homosexual, & a man who has outlived his contemporaries to survive into honoured, bitter, luxurious old age as a celebrity of dubious notoriety. Don Carlo Campanati is a man of God, who rises through the Vatican as a subtle negotiator & shrewd manipulator to become the controversial architect of church revolution & a candidate for sainthood. Through the lives of these two men, related to each other not only by family ties but also by sympathy, genius & a deep common understanding of mankind's frailties, Burgess explores the very essence of power. ...

In recent decades there has been a dramatic transformation around the Pacific Rim. Japan has become an economic superpower, & the People's Republic of China is close behind, flooding the world market with computers, automobiles, & electronic components. No longer 'the Far East'
- that exotic, mysterious land at the distant fringe of Western consciousness
- East Asia today commands the attention of the entire world. In East Asia, Arthur Cotterell condenses into a compact, highly readable book an immense amount of historical knowledge, placing this amazing economic development in its proper perspective
- an Asian one. Cotterell ranges from the dawn of Chinese civilization to Japan's emergence as the first East Asian nation to develop an industrial economy. & he brings his history up to the present, examining America's setbacks in the Korean & Vietnam Wars, Japan's rise as an economic superpower, & the recent histories of countries such as reunited Vietnam, Indonesia & Singapore. Cotterell goes on to suggest that Japan will eventually be overtaken by its neighbours, concluding that relations between the Chinese & the Japanese will ultimately determine the future of East Asia, although over the coming decades the key Pacific partners remain China & the United States. With spectacular historical perspective, Arthur Cotterell performs an invaluable service to all those who wish to have deeper understanding of our newest, & most competitive, trading partners.
