A Return to Self
Longlisted for the NBCC Award for Nonfiction A blend of travelog and memoir spanning from Turkey to Mexico, exploring Aatish Taseer's uniquely blended identity and asking: Why do certain cities become epicenters of great historical shifts and sites of unpredictable communities? In 2019, the government of Prime Minister Narenda Modi revoked Aatish Taseer's Indian citizenship, thereby exiling him from the country where he grew up and lived for thirty years. This loss, both practical and spiritual, sent him on a journey of revisiting the places that formed his identity, and asking broader questions about the complex forces that make a culture and a nationality, in the process. In Istanbul, he confronts the hopes and ambitions of his former self. In Uzbekistan, he sees how what was once the majestic portal of the Silk Road is now a tourist fa癟ade. In India, he explores why Buddhism, which originated there, is so little practiced. Everywhere he goes, the ancient world mixes intimately with the contemporary: with the influences of the pandemic, the rise of new food cultures, and the ongoing cultural battles of regions around the world. How do centuries of cultures evolving and overlapping, often violently, shape the people that subsequently emerge from them? In thoughtful prose that combines reportage with romanticism, Taseer casts an incisive eye at what it means to belong to a place that becomes an unstable, politicized vessel for ideas defined by exclusion and prejudice, and gets to the human heart of the shifts and migrations that define our multicultural world.

The Great Himalayan Ascents
Frank S. Smythe (1900-1949) was one of the greatest mountaineers of the twentieth century, and a celebrated memoirist and adventure writer. This collection brings together three accounts of Smythe's most thrilling ascents in the Himalayas-The Kangchenjunga Adventure, Kamet Conquered and Camp Six. The Kangchenjunga Adventure narrates in detail the 1930 expedition to climb the third-highest mountain in the world: how Smythe, as part of an international team of mountaineers, attempts to reach the summit of Kangchenjunga, before a deadly avalanche-which kills one of the Sherpas- forces them to change course and scale the Jonsong Peak instead. In Kamet Conquered, Smythe makes a successful bid at ascending Mount Kamet in 1931, which was at that time still unscaled. On their way back, Smythe and his team chance upon the spectacular and colourful Bhyundar Valley, which they christen the 'Valley of Flowers', and which is now a National Park. Camp Six recounts a gripping adventure on the world's highest mountain-the 1933 Everest Expedition, in which Smythe, climbing alone, ascends to a point higher than any human had reached before. Made without ropes or oxygen to support him, and in terrible snow conditions, the climb is regarded as one of the greatest endeavours in the history of mountaineering. This majestic omnibus edition offers a fascinating window into early mountain climbing and Himalayan exploration. It is also a rare treat for every lover of fine, entertaining writing.

Dusty Boots to Boardroom; follow your dreams
Life is short-so why not follow your dreams? After years of building separate careers, Catherine and I were drifting apart. The solution? A bold leap into the unknown: a journey deep into the wild heart of Africa. What followed was a journey of reconnection, challenge, and discovery. From unexpected detours to transformative encounters, this is the true story of how an African adventure reshaped our relationship, our perspectives, and ultimately, our lives. This is a tale of one couple's long drive home. This is more than a travel memoir, taking the slow, less driven road, it's an invitation to embark on your own adventure and emulate our journey. We capture the true voice of Africa, those making the continent work. Unexpectantly, we also bumped into the 'great and the good'; Hollywood actors and environmentalist, the odd mercenary and past warriors.What does one do after a military career? The book reflects on how the military mind adapts to the Boardroom.After 35,248 km on a single slow puncture (two Land Rovers, a few clutches and a bent steering rod), they arrive home in England, wiser, closer and more assured. They will not be the last, nor were they the first African adventurers, for very single journey is unique. Go find yourselves!

Bunyan-ul-Marsoos
