But unlike the other young men, and his beloved step-sister Moni Banu, Kamal cannot join the resistance. Born with a hole for a mouth, everyoneexcept Abbas Miah, the teacher who adopts him, and Moni Banu and a few friendsregards him as the village idiot. But it is he who will see the truths that others will not or cannot see. When hundreds of villagers are slaughtered, Abbas Miah and Kamal embark on a Noah's Ark journey in a boat, with a motley group of survivors, to find refuge in the distant floodplains until the war is over. But there can be no escape from the war and the issues it raises. As our guide to the painful emergence of the new nation of Bangladesh, Kamal is forced both to observe the face of evil and look within to discover whether he has the capacity for true community and forgiveness.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. When India is partitioned and riots erupt in Calcutta, Bulbulan orphan whose 'soul sings sweet'flees with his grandparents to their ancestral village, now in East Pakistan. But the divisions of religion, caste and ethnicity have followed them to their new home, and life will always remain a patchwork of darkness and shining light. Bulbul grows up to become a journalist who witnesses and experiences the clash between different individual struggles for meaning in a world torn apart by war, genocide and bigotry. He risks his heart in love, and his life in a mission to expose the corruption of the country's powerful elite. It appears that he will not live to tell his taleand that of his peoplebut he does. For, at the heart of his story is the continuing friendship between three boys with a love of cinema, whose loyalty into adulthood will have surprising outcomes. And in the repeating horror, some hope and beauty will sing. Godzilla and the Songbird is a sweeping novel, universal in its rich humanity and Bangla in image and voice. It has everything: tenderness, terror, humour, sadness, satire, tension and release. Scene after scene of brilliant storytelling drives the narrative, revealing truths and secrets about the difficult emergence of a nation, and the dreams and struggles of individuals caught in the currents of history.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This novel follows the story of Tapan Ali, a young man from Bangladesh who leaves his home to study in England. When his family can no longer afford to support his education, Ali chooses a dangerous life on the run as an illegal immigrant rather than return home. Ali finds himself in a far different world than his previous student life of pot-smoking, politics, and philosophy, when he becomes a resident of the Bangladeshi settlement in East London. There, he must contend with racist violence, poverty, and the threat of betrayal. The character of Ali's lover, Nilufar Mia, adds a sharp, womanist insight with her story of breaking ties with her strict Muslim family to live out an alternative destiny.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Set in the period before and through the Bangladeshi war of independence, this novel has at its heart the continuing friendship between three boys with a love of cinema, whose loyalty into adulthood has surprising outcomes. Bulbul, the central character, is a journalist who witnesses and experiences the clash between individual struggles for meaning in a world torn apart by war, genocide and religious exclusions. This is a novel that has everything: tenderness, humour, sadness, satire, horror, tension and release. Scene after scene of brilliant storytelling drives the narrative, revealing truths about the difficult emergence of a postcolonial society and reflecting on the nature of storytelling as a characteristic of Bengali culture - a double-edged one because stories can both evade and uncover buried secrets.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Staring into the hideous face of evil and illustrating the fragility of courage, this tale centers on Kamal, an East Pakistani who is born without a mouth and tongue. Rescued and educated by Abbas Miah, his village's schoolteacher, he soon learns to keep his ability to read and write a secret from those who condemn him for his disfigurement. When news of West Pakistan's genocidal campaign in the East reaches his village, he hesitates in joining the resistance, bringing to light the gap between how he is perceived by others and his true abilities, which proves both his torment and his salvation. Liberal-minded and pacifist, Abbas Miah soon decides to take his family and a few select villagers into the distant flood plains of Bangladesh to wait out the conflict. Before they can set sail, Miah's wife and hundreds of villagers are slaughtered and the boat instead departs with Kamal, Miah, and a motley crew of survivors. Gritty and heartfelt, this novel explores the capacity for true community amidst a religious obsession with purity and the urgent need to define who is kin in the creation of a new nation state.
