 The
Elephanta Suite
Author: Paul Theroux
This fabulous, far-reaching book breathtakingly captures
the tumult, ambition, hardship and serenity that mark
modern India.
Theroux's characters risk venturing far beyond its well-worn
paths to discover woe or truth or peace. A holidaying
middle-aged couple veer heedlessly from idyll to chaos.
A buttoned-up Boston lawyer finds relief in Mumbai's
reeking slums.
A young woman befriends an elephant in Bangalore. We
also meet Indian characters as distinctive as they are
indicative of their country's subtle ironies: an executive
who yearns to become a holy beggar, an earnest young
striver whose personality is transformed by acquiring
an American accent, a miracle-working guru, and more.
The Elephanta Suite urges us towards a fresh, compelling,
and often inspiring notion of India and its effect on
those who try to lose - or find - themselves there.

 Lost
Boys
Author: James Miller
After the oil company that employs Arthur Dashwood
fails to protect him from a kidnap attempt in Baghdad,
he returns to his traumatised family in London.
But everything is not as it should be. Having quit the
blistering heat and swimming pool luxury of Saudi Arabia
for fear of terrorist attack, Arthur finds that danger
is closer to home. Arthur's young son Timothy is struggling
in the hostile terrain of his new public school. Bullied
by other pupils and neglected by his preoccupied parents,
he withdraws into a fantasy world, a hybrid of computer-generated
guerrilla warzone and exotic dreams of his time in Saudi
Arabia, a place where boys can fight and escape their
teachers and families.
As one middle-class boy from Timothy's school and then
another disappears, so evidence emerges of an extreme
and disturbing rejection of the adult world. And then
it is Timothy's turn to disappear. Haunted by memories
of post-Saddam Baghdad, Arthur embarks on a terrifying
search for his son, one that will reveal his own complicity
in the brutal consequences of Western power.

How many of the more common birds of southern African
can you identify from their calls? Birdsong is everywhere,
whether we live in the city or in the country. Without
the musical backdrop of our feathered friends, our gardens,
parks and fields would be relatively silent - and much
the poorer for it. Often we hear their calls, but cannot
see the birds making them. The enclosed CD features
60 common bird calls. The title features full-colour
photographs of the birds, distribution maps and interesting
text about their habits, feeding and nesting routines,
and their calls.
