![]() ![]() But when Nahri accidentally summons an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to accept that the magical world she thought only existed in childhood stories is real. But she knows better than anyone that the trade she uses to get by-palm readings, zars, healings-are all tricks, sleights of hand, learned skills a means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles. Certainly, she has power on the streets of 18th century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. This is the synopsis from Goodreads: Nahri has never believed in magic. And this was enough to make me want to read it! Then the cover was revealed and I fell in love! Chakraborty is an adult fantasy set in 18th century Cairo.

Much of Tales seems like early sketches of characters that would later appear in his novels. While lacking the full impact of works such as Hunger or Mysteries, Tales of Love & Loss, made up of 20 stories pooled from his three short story volumes that are available in English only through this collection, still delivers a completely satisfying array of stories that make a perfect companion to any Hamsun collection while demonstrating his wit, humor, and probing of moral dilemmas. Early in his career, Nobel laureate Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) briefly experimented with the short story, releasing three short volumes before abandoning the venue entirely¹ Hamsun never put a whole lot of stock into his short story writing, although it is quite good, and claims the third collection had merely been written as a gift to his second wife. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes I feel a little uncomfortable with how unappreciative I am being about some of the things I want to rid myself of.

Good for you, because you will now realize that you will not miss anything if you throw it away. You may even have forgotten what it is you have there. Many of the things you have in storage have probably been standing there for ages. Start by checking the basement or the attic or the cupboards by your front door. ![]() ![]() ![]() But before Shane disappears again, there are a few questions she needs answered.

Meanwhile, the brilliance of her title, with its layers of meaning, will remain, as it should, undimmed. But it will never have the historical influence of Hardy’s. It also enjoys a superior claim to authenticity. Boehm’s translation is better and more readable. Boehm has a long track record in literary translation-and it shows. While Hardy’s original translation and Philip Boehm’s new one retell very similar stories, the differences between them add up, and are worth noting both for their style and for the way they convey Koestler’s message. ![]() As such, he was ideally equipped to explain that creed’s millenarian appeal, and the ferocity that its imposition would inevitably bring in its wake. ![]() Koestler had only recently abandoned communism ( Darkness at Noon is also a reckoning with his own past), but he never shook off the transcendental longing it once satisfied. Darkness at Noon may or may not answer the question why so many Old Bolsheviks really went crawling to their deaths, but it does clarify why they had been (and their intellectual heirs still were) prepared to send those who were in the way to theirs. ![]() Koestler’s depiction of one communist’s crisis of faith remains essential reading. ![]() ![]() ![]() The plot of the book begins with Dorothy visiting her cousin Zeb in San Francisco when an earthquake hits and she, her kitten Eureka, and Zeb's horse and buggy fall into a crack in the Earth and slowly descend into a city populated by the vegetable-like Mangaboo people.
