        Knowledge, mediation and empire

        James Tod's journeys among the Rajputs

        by Florence D'Souza, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        This study of the British colonial administrator James Tod (1782-1835), who spent five years in north-western India (1818-22) collecting every conceivable type of material of historical or cultural interest on the Rajputs and the Gujaratis, gives special attention to his role as a mediator of knowledge about this little-known region of the British Empire in the early nineteenth century to British and European audiences. The book aims to illustrate that British officers did not spend all their time oppressing and inferiorising the indigenous peoples under their colonial authority, but also contributed to propagating cultural and scientific information about them, and that they did not react only negatively to the various types of human difference they encountered in the field.

        Tell Children About the Sanxingdui

        by Liu Xingshi

        The Sanxingdui Ruins are considered one of the most the greatest archaeological finds of China in the 20th century. Located in the southwest China's Sichuan Province, the ruins are believed to be the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom, predating the Xia Dynasty by 700 years or even thousands of years, dating back up to 3000 or 5000 years ago. What is the truth about this period of history and who built it? This is a mystery to the world. Liu Xingshi is a prehistoric archaeological researcher, contemporary geologist, science popularization writer, and expert in Sanxingdui mineral resources investigation. He wrote, at the age of 91, this set of humorous but professional books for children to guide them in uncovering the mysteries of the Sanxingdui Ruins from the perspectives of geography, archaeology, history, and human environmental science. Unlike the most books on the market focusing on the cultural relics unearthed at the Sanxingdui Ruins, including the surprisingly large number of bronzes and ivories, this unique set of books traces back to the ancient Shu civilization and explores how Sanxingdui people lived, including food, clothing, shelter, transportation, labor, and migration, as well as the hidden geography, climate, and environmental knowledge, which leaves infinite imagination space for children.

        by Bohdan Kolomiychuk

        It’s 1905 in Europe. Russia is losing the war with Japan and is now concentrating its forces in the West. Specifically, hundreds of Russian entrepreneurs head to Austria-Hungary and Prussia to establish business relationships, agents of the Russian Okhranka secret police and members of Russia’s criminal underworld disguised among them. Meanwhile, in the Austrian city of Lviv, the career of Criminal Police Commissar Adam Wistowicz advances. He’s one of the best investigators in Halychyna (Galicia), whose reputation is well known even in the empire’s capital, Vienna. Wistowicz’s ex-wife Anna Kalisch, an actress of the Berlin Shauspielhaus, unexpectedly finds herself in the middle of the ruthless whirlpool. In despair, she sends the commissar a telegram, begging for help. Between two fires, in foreign Prussia, Wistowicz takes on the most dangerous case of his life. He finds himself in the Royal Opera House, among communists in a German pub, in the luxury Great Prussia Hotel in Posen, then one on one with a maniac in the middle of an empty square… Teetering at knifepoint between life and death, winning crazy amounts of money and subsequently losing it, and confronting a powerful enemy with only intelligence and adroitness, the commissar from faraway Halychyna brilliantly brings the case to a close… and proves victorious.

        Other things

        by Yurko Izdryk

        Yurko Izdryk’s poetry has an extraordinary optical effect as if he talks to you eye to eye reaching deep into your soul. The poems touch on such a level that you can find yourself inside them, and after all, inside the poet’s or lyrical hero’s life, living it as your own because it is so real. This personal touch is known in Ukraine as the phenomenon of Izdryk. Regardless of the phenomenon’s variating tonality – sometimes softly lyrical or harshly ironic, it remains native, yours, reflected by you. In addition to poems, there are also poet’s collages, “other things” that appear in words and pictures, thereby creating the body of one single object - the book as an artifact of life.
