Paperback. Zustand: Good. Siberia is a vast and ancient territory, a mystery to the world outside its borders. Rick Wirick and his wife have gone to Siberia to adopt a baby girl. Rather than produce a straightforward account of this journey, so profound and personal in itself, Wirick has chosen instead to absorb Siberia, to immerse himself in its history, legends, social reality and natural splendour in order to evoke for his new daughter the grandeur of her birthplace. In one hundred interlocking vignettes, Wirick has created a sophisticated and passionate vision. Personal in conception, unique in structure, One Hundred Siberian Postcards is an inspiring and unusual introduction to a very far-away land. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This anthology of new Arab poetry highlights the work of a new generation of poets from around the Arab world - men and women from as far as Morocco to the West and Iraq to the East. Their writings may span 30 years, but the forms, styles and subject matters they are experimenting with indicate a departure from the old towards an explosion of new poetry that is innovative, expressive and daring. This is also a personal journey for most as they delve into their past, ethnicity and cultural complexities, with an intensity of images and emotions. Illustrating this is the fact that some poems were not even written in the native Arabic but in French or English, demonstrating the multicultural influences which have come to shape modern Arab poetry in the latter part of the 20th century. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.
