Tokyo Love Story
A funny and intimate travelogue of one woman's unexpected adventures in Japan. French illustrator Julie Blanchin-Fujita arrived in Tokyo for what she thought would be a one-year stint, and ended up never leaving. In this graphic novel-style memoir she shares her love of Japan, while depicting personal experiences and stories from her life in Tokyo--from the exotic (sumo wrestlers, ramen, hot springs, tatami mats, bentos, Japanese trains, Mount Fuji, earthquakes) to the everyday (hanging out with friends, moving houses, falling in love). Her voyage of discovery in the world's most exciting city will appeal to a broad range of readers--from those contemplating a trip to Tokyo and Japanophiles to fans of graphic novels and anyone who enjoys a good manga love story. Packed with keen cultural observations, this enchanting story is told in both English and Japanese--also making it a great language learning resource.

The Sultan And His Subjects Revised And Brought Up To Date By The Author With A Frontispiece
Encounter the Ottoman world through an acute Victorian gaze. A vivid eyewitness account unfolds. In The Sultan and His Subjects, Richard Davey offers an observant, often sceptical chronicle of life under the Sultan, a notable example of victorian travel literature and nineteenth century nonfiction. Skilled at clear-minded cultural observations of the 19th century, Davey records institutions, ceremonies and everyday exchange as part of broader eastern world exploration; his writing balances anecdote, documentary detail and reflective comment. Revised and brought up to date by the author and accompanied by a frontispiece, the book rewards readers interested in travel writing, comparative cultural study and those who seek primary-source perspective on ottoman empire society. Its observational voice captures the contrasts and continuities that preoccupied late nineteenth-century chroniclers, and its clarity makes complex social arrangements accessible without simplification. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Its historical significance is plain: it offers contemporaneous perspective valuable to british empire history and to scholars in middle eastern studies, while retaining a voice that speaks to general curiosity. For libraries and individuals it functions equally as source material for an academic research collection and as lively reading for anyone fascinated by the encounter between empire and local life. The descriptive passages and immediate detail supply useful material for study and citation within wider nineteenth century nonfiction scholarship. As an illustrated classic book, this edition crosses the divide between casual reader and careful collector: those drawn to eastern world exploration will find readable reportage, and aficionados of richard davey works will appreciate the edition's fidelity. Collectors will note the frontispiece and the author's revisions as marks of provenance, and the volume makes an unexpected history enthusiasts gift as well as a thoughtful addition to shelves devoted to victorian era nonfiction. Whether shelved for display or read for pleasure, it repays attention with context and perspective.

In the Footsteps of Mungo Park
The Tightwad Economist has a lust for discovery and adventure. Incited by the preaching of the Messiah of Travel, the call of Africa is ineluctable. Not the clich矇d chic safaris and animal spotting tours of travel brochures. Tightwad sets off hitching through the Maghreb in North Africa alone before following in the footsteps of Mungo Park, the celebrated Scottish explorer, the first European to delve into the heart of West Africa and come out alive, barely. But it is 1993, not 1796, and Tightwad is joined by the Messiah of Travel and his disciples as they set out on their own exploration of modern West Africa. Where European borders cross traditional tribal lines, where corrupt and inept leaders struggle to improve living standards, where transport and infrastructure is rough, where food is sometimes scarce, but where the people have a longing for life and laughter.

Africa

The second tour of Egypt in 2019 offered awesome pyramids, monumental temples and mysterious inner chambers. While these tours covered only a fraction of what Africa has to offer, they did give us an insight into the dramatic contrast between the north and south of the African continent.

In Darfur
A merchant's remarkable travel account of an African kingdom Muḥammad al-Tūnisī (d. 1274/1857) belonged to a family of Tunisian merchants trading with Egypt and what is now Sudan. Al-Tūnisī was raised in Cairo and a graduate of al-Azhar. In 1803, at the age of fourteen, al-Tūnisī set off for the Sultanate of Darfur, where his father had decamped ten years earlier. He followed the Forty Days Road, was reunited with his father, and eventually took over the management of the considerable estates granted to his father by the sultan of Darfur. In Darfur is al-Tūnisī's remarkable account of his ten-year sojourn in this independent state, featuring descriptions of the geography of the region, the customs of Darfur's petty kings, court life and the clothing of its rulers, marriage customs, eunuchs, illnesses, food, hunting, animals, currencies, plants, magic, divination, and dances. In Darfur combines literature, history, ethnography, linguistics, and travel adventure, and most unusually for its time, includes fifty-two illustrations, all drawn by the author. In Darfur is a rare example of an Arab description of an African society on the eve of Western colonization and vividly evokes a world in which travel was untrammeled by bureaucracy, borders were fluid, and startling coincidences appear almost mundane. An English-only edition.

Abu Simbel
An indispensable companion and guide to one of the world's great archaeological sites The three-thousand-year-old rock-cut temples at Abu Simbel and the story of their rescue from the rising waters of Lake Nasser in the 1960s are almost as familiar worldwide as the tale of the gold funerary mask and brief life of the boy king Tutankhamun. Yet although they are among the most celebrated, visited, and photographed archaeological sites in the world, the two temples are among the least understood by the visitor. In this lucidly written, beautifully illustrated guide, Nigel Fletcher-Jones explains the main features of both temples, discusses what they teach us about ancient Egypt during the reign of Rameses II (1265-1200 BC), and illustrates which gods and goddesses were worshipped here. With over 50 new photographs, drawings, and diagrams, and packed with fascinating insights, Abu Simbel: A Short Guide to the Temples is an indispensable companion and souvenir to one of the world's great archaeological sites.

Along the way, we'll meet the people of the Richtersveld World Heritage Site, traverse rugged mountain deserts in the Richtersveld National Park, visit the copper fields around Springbok, dig for diamonds along the Orange River, drive through the beautiful Namaqua National Park, stop over at the flower 'capital' of Nieuwoudtville, and pop in at all the charming 'dorpies' in between. Filled with historical stories, colourful personalities and natural wonders, More Than Daisies is an unforgettable road trip through a remarkable landscape. Also included: a useful Planning Guide and custom maps with all the info you need to arrange a trip to Namaqualand for yourself.

"Gopal Urer Gan": Bengali Songs/Poems of Gopal Urer, edited and compiled by Uday Bhattacharyya. উনবিংশ শতাব্দীর মাঝামাঝি সময় "গোপাল উড়ের গান", বাংলা দেশে খুবই জনপ্রিয় হয়েছিল। গোপাল জাতিতে উড়ে (উড়িয়া) এবং কোন প্রথাগত শিক্ষা ছাড়াই নিজের অধ্যবসায় বাংলা ভাষা শিখে বাংলা গান/টপ্পা রচনা করেছিলেন। গানগুলি মূলত যাত্রপালার জন্য লেখা। গোপাল নিজে যাত্রপালায় অভিনয় করতেন এবং একটি যাত্রা দল চালাতেন। গোপাল কতখানি জনপ্রিয় ছিলেন তার একটি ধারণা পাওয়া যায় বঙ্কিমচন্দ্র চট্টোপাধ্যায়ের 'বিষবৃক্ষ' উপন্যাসে। সেখানে গোপালের কথা উল্লেখ আছে। অন্তপুরবাসী নারীরাও তার গান সম্পর্কে অবগত ছিলো, তার গান ভালবাসতো।

Among FlowersA Walk in the Himalaya
In this travel memoir, the acclaimed novelist Jamaica Kincaid chronicles a three-week trek through Nepal, the spectacular and exotic Himalayan land, where she and her companions are gathering seeds for planting at home. The natural world and, in particular, plants and gardening are central to Kincaid's work; in addition to such novels as Annie John and Lucy, Kincaid is the author of My Garden (Book): a collection of essays about her love of cultivating plants and gardens throughout her life. Among Flowers intertwines meditations on nature and stunning descriptions of the Himalayan landscape with observations on the ironies, difficulties, and dangers of this magnificent journey. For Kincaid and three botanist friends, Nepal is a paradise, a place where a single day's hike can traverse climate zones, from subtropical to alpine, encompassing flora suitable for growing at their homes, from Wales to Vermont. Yet as she makes clear, there is far more to this foreign world than rhododendrons that grow thirty feet high. Danger, too, is a constant companion--and the leeches are the least of the worries. Unpredictable Maoist guerillas live in these perilous mountains, and when they do appear--as they do more than once--their enigmatic presence lingers long after they have melted back into the landscape. And Kincaid, who writes of the looming, lasting effects of colonialism in her works, necessarily explores the irony of her status as memsahib with Sherpas and bearers. A wonderful blend of introspective insight and beautifully rendered description, Among Flowers is a vivid, engrossing, and characteristically frank memoir from one of our most striking voices.
