Eleven years after the Second World War, the curiosity of adventurous youth brought a boy with only a few words of English across the water. Coming from a small village in rural Westphalia, he could never quite shake off the awe of the big city. A camera was never far away, & he began to document his experience of life in the capital. London became a backdrop to scenes that never lost their mystery as Hallmann began to explore the history, the pageants, the art, the river, the markets, the fashions & the people.. . He learnt that by travelling on bus or Underground you could meet the world
- sandaled monks & stiletto-heeled damsels, heavies in chains & bovver boots & sneaks on platforms, preachers that would save your soul & some that would prefer your money. Collected here are the best photographs from three decades of street photography capturing the spirit of London & Londoners. Priceless moments are recorded. From the swinging sixties to the flares & platforms of the seventies to punks in the eighties, this is the buzzing atmosphere of late twentieth-century London.

`ondonstani, Gautam Malkani`s electrifying debut, reveals a Britain that has never before been explored in the novel: a country of young Asians & white boys (desis & goras) trying to work out a place for themselves in the shadow of the divergent cultures of their parents` generation. Set close to the Heathrow feed roads of Hounslow, Malkani shows us the lives of a gang of four young men: Hardjit the ring leader, a Sikh, violent, determined his caste stay pure; Ravi, determinedly tactless, a sheep following the herd; Amit, whose brother Arun is struggling to win the approval of his mother for the Hindu girl he has chosen to marry; & Jas who tells us of his journey with these three, desperate to win their approval, desperate too for Samira, a Muslim girl, which in this story can only have bad consequences. Together they cruise the streets in Amit`s enhanced Beemer, making a little money changing the electronic fingerprints on stolen mobile phones, a scam that leads them into more dangerous waters. Funny, crude, disturbing, written in the vibrant language of its protagonists -- a mix of slang, Bollywood, texting, Hindu & bastardised gangsta rap -- ` Londonstani` is about many things: tribalism, aggressive masculinity, integration, cross-cultural chirpsing techniques, the urban scene seeping into the mainstream, bling bling economics, `complicated family-related shit`. It is one of the most surprising British novels of recent years. ...
