For more, see Journals.   The National University of Singapore Press is heir to a tradition of academic publishing in Singapore that dates back some 60 years, starting with the work of the Publishing Committee of the University of Malaya, beginning in 1954. Singapore University Press was created in 1971 as the publishing division of the University of Singapore. The University of Singapore merged with Nanyang University in 1980 to become the National University of Singapore, and in 2006 Singapore University Press was succeeded by NUS Press, bringing the name of the press in line with the name of the university.   Our publishing mission is to enable the dissemination and creation of knowledge through the publishing of scholarly and academic books; and to empower learning, innovation and enterprise for the Singapore- and Asia-focused global community. All NUS Press books must be approved by a Publishing Committee, drawn from the ranks of the academic staff at the National University of Singapore. NUS Press is currently managed by Peter Schoppert. Previous Director Paul Kratoska remains onboard as Publishing Director.

        Der Zug nach Pakistan

        Roman

        by Khushwant Singh, Axel Monte

        Das Grauen begann im Jahr 1947: Die Engländer waren gerade abgezogen, Indien und Pakistan wurden geteilt und Menschen ihrer Religionszugehörigkeit entsprechend umgesiedelt – mit verheerenden Folgen. Es kam zu einer der größten Vertreibungen der Geschichte, zehn Millionen Menschen waren auf der Flucht. Familien wurden getrennt, Frauen vergewaltigt, Hunderttausende getötet. Von diesem Trauma Indiens erzählt Khushwant Singh in seinem Roman. Noch ist die Idylle in dem Dorf Mano Majra nahe der Grenze vollkommen. Muslime, Hindus und Sikhs leben hier friedlich miteinander, die Bewohner haben ihren Alltag auf die vorbeifahrenden Züge abgestimmt. Für Aufregung sorgt nur hin und wieder Jaggat, der Dorfganove. Die Männer haben Respekt vor ihm, schon wegen seiner Statur, über die sie ehrfürchtig sprechen. Jaggat kommt immer wieder ins Gefängnis, sein Vater und sein Großvater wurden als Kriminelle sogar gehängt. Obwohl er selbst der Sikhreligion angehört, hat er eine heimliche Liebschaft mit einem muslimischen Mädchen. Eines Tages hält zu einer ungewöhnlichen Zeit ein Zug in Mano Majra. Etwas Unheilvolles, etwas Gespenstisches geht von ihm aus: Der Zug ist voll mit Leichen ermordeter Sikhs. Das Grauen hat auch Mano Majra erreicht, jetzt zählt auch hier nur noch, wer welcher Religion angehört. Der Roman erschien erstmals 1956, heute ist er in Indien ein Klassiker. Khushwant Singh erzählt anhand von zahlreichen Einzelschicksalen in erschütternder Weise von der größten politischen,, sozialen, menschlichen Katastrophe Indiens, vom abrupten Wandel einer friedlichen Welt in die Hölle des Krieges, der noch heute grausame Nachwirkungen zeigt: im Kaschmirkonflikt, in blutigen Ausschreitungen zwischen den Religionsgruppen, in der Zerstörung von Moscheen und Tempeln.

        Darkless

        by Tanu Shree Singh and Sandhya Prabhat

        Ani’s life has turned dark ever since his mother left. The little specks of light, Grandma, Dobby and not even ice cream can get through the haunting walls created by Ani’s growing fear. Struggling to let others love him, he anxiously waits for his mother to return, delving deeper into the darkness and refusing to see the splashes of colour around him.  Tanu Shree Singh’s poignant tale of a child waiting for his mother, a cancer patient, is told with exceptional depth and economy of words. The masterful hand-drawn digital, textured illustrations of Sandhya Prabhat depict a jarring juxtaposition of Ani’s dark world and his brightly coloured surroundings, mellowed by the gentle narrative which beautifully captures the essence of the tale.
