A magical, eye-opening account of a journey into a Europe that rarely makes the news and is in danger of being erased altogether. Another Europe. A Europe few people believe exists and many wish didn't.

Muslim Europe. Winner of a BGTW Members' Excellence Award: Travel Narrative Book of the Year - The Adele Evans Award. Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize 2021.

Shortlisted in the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2022: Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year. Londoner Tharik Hussain sets off with his wife and young daughters around the Western Balkans, home to the largest indigenous Muslim population in Europe, and explores the regions of Eastern Europe where Islam has shaped places and people for more than half a millennium. Encountering blonde-haired, blue-eyed Muslims, visiting mystical Islamic lodges clinging to the side of mountains, and praying in mosques older than the Sistine Chapel, he paints a picture of a hidden Muslim Europe, a vibrant place with a breathtaking history, spellbinding culture and unique identity.

Minarets in The Mountains, the first English travel narrative by a Muslim writer on this subject, also explores the historical roots of European Islamophobia. Tharik and his family learn lessons about themselves and their own identity as Britons, Europeans and Muslims. Following in the footsteps of renowned Ottoman traveller Evliya Celebi, they remind us that Europe is as Muslim as it is Christian, Jewish or pagan.

Under den legendariske Djengis Khan skapte mongolene det største imperium verden noen gang har sett. Et rike som strakte seg fra Stillehavet og langt inn i Europa.

Dette er beretningen om Wolfgang fra Godesberg, gjøgleren som ble født i 1204 og som bare åtte år gammel dro ut for å befri Jerusalem og den hellige grav.

Bak eventyret om Rottefangeren fra Hameln aner vi omrisset av en av de mest ubegripelige hendelser i europeisk historie: Barnekorstoget.

1200-tallet var også mongolenes århundre. Under ledelsen av den legendariske Djengis Khan vandret de som et stormvær over den østlige verden.

I Wolfgang fra Godesberg samles strømminger fra tre vidt forskjellig kulturer: Kristendom, Islam og Taoisme.

What do the Greek myths mean to us today? It's now a golden age for these tales - they crop up in novels, films and popular culture.

But what's the modern relevance of Theseus, Hera and Pandora? Were these stories ever meant for children? And what's to be seen now at the places where heroes fought and gods once quarrelled? Peter Fiennes travels to the sites of some of the most famous Greek myths, on the trail of hope, beauty and a new way of seeing what we have done to our world. Fiennes walks through landscapes - stunning and spoiled - on the trail of dancing activists and Arcadian shepherds, finds the 'most beautiful beach in Greece', consults the Oracle, and loses himself in the cities, remote villages and ruins of this storied land.

The Taverna by the Sea is an enchanting, funny, poignant travel memoir about answering the call of adventure by taking on the challenge of running a Greek beach taverna. During a walking holiday on the island of Karpathos, a chance encounter with a Greek-American hotel owner results in a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Jennifer Barclay. The best-selling travel writer and long-term resident of Greece drops everything, returning with dog and tent to the remote bay that will form her home for one hectic, event-filled summer.

This book offers a rare account of life in north Karpathos in the South Aegean, famous for its traditional community and dramatic, rugged landscape. While primarily a light, engaging, amusing read full of anecdotes, one-liners, twists and turns - perfect for summer - Barclay's fourth book about life in Greece also conveys the life-affirming importance of trusting one's instincts, taking risks and grasping opportunities. Wake with Jennifer to experience a summer of pink dawns over the olive grove and an empty bay, and swim with her in moonlight, hearing only the waves.

Or help yourself to local cuisine - creamy yoghurt and local honey and warm figs, olive oil and rosemary, freshly baked bread, and wine on tap. Alongside a cast of characters from farmers to fishermen, mad guests and a wicked witch, meet Minas the hotel owner, a creative, unconventional Greek-American with the ability to fix anything mechanical and create money out of thin air with food, plus a penchant for drinking, singing and falling asleep. Experience days full of music, days of no running water, and days with a goat tied to a tree - but also nights when the overworked taverna manager awoke convinced there was a large fish in the tent, and customers outside waiting to be served.

In The Taverna by the Sea, Barclay reveals what happens behind the scenes of an apparently blissful, peaceful paradise, capturing both the magic and the difficulties of island life. Underpinning an entertaining read for lovers of Greece and its cuisine is an inspiring call to live life to the full - and even escape the rat race.

De ukrainske notatbøkene samler den italienske tegneserieskaperen Igort historiene til mennesker av kjøtt og blod fra det tidligere USSR, dagens Ukraina, etter å ha tilbrakt nesten to år i Ukraina, Russland og Sibir 15 år etter Sovjetunionens oppløsning. Varsomt og respektfullt rekonstrueres ukrainske minner fra dramatiske perioder i 1900-tallets historie, minner om terror, forfølgelse og gulag.
Her fortelles blant annet historiene til to kvinner som overlevde Holodomor, også kjent som «det sovjetiske folkemordet på ukrainerne». Holodomor kan ha kostet opptil ti millioner mennesker livet og var en planmessig utført utsulting av det ukrainske folket i 1932-1933. Stalins formål var å knuse de såkalte kulakkene, bønder som motsatte seg tvangskollektivisering.
Boken levendegjør de kollektive erfaringene til tusener av usynlige protagonister, vanlige ukrainske kvinner og menn. Uunngåelig ender boka opp med å søke svar på spørsmålet vi fortsatt stiller oss: Tredve år etter murens fall, er det store sovjetiske eposet av enorme felles forhåpninger og umåtelige tragedier fortsatt et uavsluttet kapittel?

She needed a getaway. What she found was a home. When Louise surprises her boyfriend by returning early from a work trip, safe to say she wasn't expecting to see him in flagrante with another woman. Heart-torn and vowing to stay away from men, when Louise's next project involves restoring an ageing hotel in Italy, she leaps at the chance to get away.

Managed by a crew of sextagenarians, the Grand Hotel del Monferrato needs all the love and care Louise can give it. But it's hard to stay focused on the job when her thoughts keep straying to Vito, the reclusive and mysterious neighbour. With his tragic past and her no-romance policy, Louise knows they can't have a future.

Yet something keeps pulling the two together... A beautiful romance set in the hills of Turin, perfect for readers of Lucy Coleman and Alex Brown. Praise for An Escape to Remember' The story was compelling and entertaining, I rooted for the characters and liked the storytelling.
