Bushido
Bushido: The Soul of Japan, Published in 1900 is a book written by InazōNitobe exploring the way of the samurai. Bushido: The Soul of Japanwas a best-seller in its day, it was read by many influential foreigners, among them President Theodore Roosevelt, President John F. Kennedy and Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts. Bushido is the chivalric code of moral principles that the Samurai followed: rectitude, courage, benevolence, respect, honesty, honour and loyalty.Influenced by Confucianism, Shinto and Zen Buddhism, it tempers the violence of a warrior with wisdom and serenity. Alongside Sun Tzu s The Art of War and Machiavelli s The Prince, Inazo's book has become influential among military and corporate leaders looking for ways to manage their people and overcome their opponents. In Bushido, Nitobe points out similarities between Western and Japanese history and culture. He argues that ""no matter how different any two cultures may appear to be on the surface, they are still created by human beings, and as such have deep similarities."" Nitobe believed that connecting Bushido with greater teachings could make an important contribution to all humanity-that the way of the Samurai is not something peculiarly Japanese, but of value to the entire human race.

Once Is Not Enough
The characters in this romantic short story collection brush aside the niceties of life and unravel the feminine ambition, desire, passion, love and longing. The protagonist--Rakhee in the story - Once is Not Enough somewhere nudges the understanding about love--that it's complicated and isn't always about being in love. She loves both the men in her life. Will she make a choice? Is she ready to make this life-changing decision? In The Singer-young Bhavna, blinded by her ambition, agreed to marry wealthy Ajit because she knew that her music career would burgeon with him as her partner. And it did, but she was not happy. And as she grows older, she longs for someone to give her attention; to love her. She misses being a woman. After all--we are what we are because of the choices that we make!In the story The Birthday Cake, a little boy shares his heart-wrenching experience during the present-day global crises. While Lonely Footsteps is about love, family secrets and tragedy, My Father is about the complex issue of caste, politics, love and acceptance of the breakdown of the gentle mental fabric--the ghost prints left by grief and loss. The stories in the collection are all about love, unrequited love, madness, delusion, loss, loneliness, dilemma, and of course, family. At every step, the characters are tested and tempted by love and fire-like passions that they find so difficult to deny.
Absinthe: World Literature in Translation
Absinthe 28: Orphaned of Light features contemporary literature of migration translated from and to Arabic. In short stories, creative nonfiction essays, poetry, and selections from novels, a multiplicity of migration experiences is brought to the fore: life in diaspora, undocumented labor, refugeehood, human trafficking, internal displacement, exile. This issue brings together names familiar to readers of Arabic literature in translation, such as Ghassan Kanafani and Saadi Youssef, with writers making their English-language debuts, such as Dearborn, MI-based Kurdish Iraqi poet Gulala Nouri and Libyan novelist Mohamad Alasfar. Likewise, the issue includes veteran translators Marilyn Booth, Nancy Roberts, and Khaled Mattawa alongside newcomers, several of them graduate students at the University of Michigan. Each piece is accompanied by a translator's reflection that meditates on the work's themes as well as the creative process of translation, and the issue's poetry is presented in a side-by-side Arabic-English format. Absinthe 28 comes to us at a time when, according to the UN, one in every 78 people on earth is displaced. This collection serves as a reminder that translation and migration are inextricably linked.
Kalīlah and Dimnah
Timeless fables of loyalty and betrayal Like Aesop's Fables, Kalīlah and Dimnah is a collection designed not only for moral instruction, but also for the entertainment of readers. The stories, which originated in the Sanskrit Panchatantra and Mahabharata, were adapted, augmented, and translated into Arabic by the scholar and state official Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ in the second/eighth century. The stories are engaging, entertaining, and often funny, from "The Man Who Found a Treasure But Could Not Keep It," to "The Raven Who Tried To Learn To Walk Like a Partridge" and "How the Wolf, the Raven, and the Jackal Destroyed the Camel." Kalīlah and Dimnah is a "mirror for princes," a book meant to inculcate virtues and discernment in rulers and warn against flattery and deception. Many of the animals who populate the book represent ministers counseling kings, friends advising friends, or wives admonishing husbands. Throughout, Kalīlah and Dimnah offers insight into the moral lessons Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ wished to impart to rulers--and readers. An English-only edition.
The Book of Travels
The adventures of the man who created AladdinThe Book of Travels is Ḥannā Diyāb's remarkable first-person account of his travels as a young man from his hometown of Aleppo to the court of Versailles and back again, which forever linked him to one of the most popular pieces of world literature, the Thousand and One Nights. Diyāb, a Maronite Christian, served as a guide and interpreter for the French naturalist and antiquarian Paul Lucas. Between 1706 and 1716, Diyāb and Lucas traveled through Syria, Cyprus, Egypt, Tripolitania, Tunis, Italy, and France. In Paris, Ḥannā Diyāb met Antoine Galland, who added to his wildly popular translation of the Thousand and One Nights several tales related by Diyāb, including "Aladdin" and "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves." When Lucas failed to make good on his promise of a position for Diyāb at Louis XIV's Royal Library, Diyāb returned to Aleppo. In his old age, he wrote this engaging account of his youthful adventures, from capture by pirates in the Mediterranean to quack medicine and near-death experiences. Translated into English for the first time, The Book of Travels introduces readers to the young Syrian responsible for some of the most beloved stories from the Thousand and One Nights. An English-only edition.

New Voices in Chinese Science Fiction
Science fiction is international in scope, but many works are often unavailable to readers because of language barriers or the costs involved in transcending them. In the eleven years I've been publishing science fiction works from China, I've had the privilege of working with and featuring stories by both of my co-editors, as well as dozens of other authors. Anthologies and projects like this one are an editor's joy. We've been given the opportunity to shine a light on eight Chinese authors that have not been previously published (at that time) in English. Authors you should know about. New voices, or at least new to you.Includes stories by: Shuang Chimu 双翅目Liu Xiao 刘啸Yang Wanqing 杨晚晴Hui Hu 灰狐Congyun "Mu Ming" Gu 慕明Liang Qingsan 梁清散Shi Heiyao 石黑曜Liao Shubo 廖舒波

Cookery Fundamentals
This book contains Colourfully illustrated, authentic information on Indian Cookery's past, present and future application potentials. A new way of storytelling about the simplest of authentic information in the best of the gripping ways. Cooking is a stress buster ""if"" you really enjoy the process. Many of you would be first timers in the kitchen. I would say, never mind if the food you cooked tastes far away from expected. Pat your back if you have really put in all your efforts to cook a little meal for yourself. The History of Indian Cuisine dates back to more than 10000 years and has been highly influenced majorly by Hindu and Muslim traditions. Still, the Portuguese, Persians, and English have also contributed a lot to some aspects of their kitchen at a certain point in history. The first things we think of Indian cuisine are spices, spicy flavours, and vegetables. The truth is that it is the most characteristic, always taking into account the vastness of this country and the number of different styles according to the regions. The creator of spectacular food palettes - the Chef - is an artist in his own right. As Chefs, you are looked up to as role models and end up creating food trends with the choices that you make. While you primarily feed people, in a way, you also decide what they will eat. Lending your voice to the right issues is important for you as Chefs - and this means you must not only prepare good food, but also sustainable food - and lead the way.
The Narrow Cage and Other Modern Fairy Tales
Vasily Eroshenko was one of the most remarkable transnational literary figures of the early twentieth century: a blind multilingual Esperantist from Ukraine who joined left-wing circles in Japan and befriended the famous modernist writer Lu Xun in China. Born in a small Ukrainian village in imperial Russia, he was blinded at a young age by complications from measles. Seeking to escape the limitations imposed on the blind, Eroshenko became a globe-trotting storyteller. He was well known in Japan and China as a social activist and a popular writer of political fairy tales that drew comparisons to Hans Christian Andersen and Oscar Wilde. The Narrow Cage and Other Modern Fairy Tales presents a selection of Eroshenko's stories, translated from Japanese and Esperanto, to English readers for the first time. These fables tell the stories of a religiously disillusioned fish, a jealous paper lantern, a scholarly young mouse, a captive tiger who seeks to liberate his fellow animals, and many more. They are at once inventive and politically charged experiments with the fairy tale genre and charming, lyrical stories that will captivate readers as much today as they did during Eroshenko's lifetime. In addition to eighteen fairy tales, the book includes semiautobiographical writings and prose poems that vividly evoke Eroshenko's life and world.
