A HERMIT IN THE HIMALAYAS
PAUL BRUNTON was one of a very small number of his generation to travel so extensively throughout India and Tibet at a time when very few were doing so with such insight and discernment. His journalistic skills produced magnificent descriptions of the snowy peaks and high-desert landscapes of the Himalayan region but it was the lessons he learned from the holy men he met on his journeys that transformed him into one of 4 the great interpreters of the East. In this magnificent classic he explains that we all need ‘oases f calm in a world of storm’, no matter what era we are living in, and that to retreat from our everyday lives for a while is not weakness but strength By taking the trouble to discover the deep silence within us we will find the benefits of being linked to an ‘infinite power, an infinite wisdom, an infinite goodness’. A Hermit in the Himalayas is a fascinating blend of travel narrative and profound spiritual experience. As we accompany the author on his journey through the vast Himalayan ranges to Mount Kailas in Tibet, he also shows us an even more remarkable — and timeless — inner path which will help us cope with the ups and downs of our contemporary world.

ALIVE AND WELL IN PAKISTAN
‘Casey plunges into Pakistan like a knife, unearthing and unravelling the often unexplainable and unpredictable contradictions of a country on the edge. Pakistan just happens to be one of the most complex and difficult countries to describe, but Casey does a magnificent job. Casey’s prose sings, and his portraits are master class. A conjuror of images and sensations in an unpredictable land.’ Ahmed Rashid, author of Taliban.
Ethan Casey explores what life is like in a Muslim country on the frontline of the US-declared ‘war on terror’ while living, working and teaching in Lahore, Pakistan. Drawing observations from the street, university classrooms and interviews with lawyers, journalists and politicians, Casey updates his understanding of the Pakistani experience and sets it within a context of recent and contemporary history. Revisiting a decade of ground-level reporting, he humanises domestic politics; attitudes towards the West and India; and the Kashmir and Afghanistan issues.
Alive and Well in Pakistan is an engaging and well-informed literary reportage that demystifies the uneasy place that Pakistan occupies in an uncertain world.
‘Ethan Casey documents his travels in Pakistan, reflecting the moods of the historical moment in compelling prose. Like Conrad and Greene before him, he is, I suspect, out to travel dangerously.’ Norman Sherry, author of The Life of Graham Greene.

DOUBLE VISION
Aliki Findley is half-English, quarter-Irish and a quarter Greek. She is on a white ship sailing through the Aegean Sea and beyond, on a journey to what she believes is her ancient past: the Minoan civilisation of Crete, 3000 BC. On the voyage, she allows the great ship to lead her from her twenty-first century persona into a visionary confrontation of the ancient and modern worlds. From the present into the past and back to the catalytic realisation that what is actually here, now, is more beautiful and exciting that her thoughts and fantasies had ever conjured up. Finally, it is the eccentric captain and the lively atmosphere created by her fellow passengers on the ship that manage to rescue Aliki from her make-believe refuge and bring about her awakening. In Double Vision, Pauline Neville skilfully transports us into her heroine’s colourful and enchanting fantasy world and introduces us to an ancient and proud civilisation.
