The poems in The Voices of Babyn Yar convey the experiences and emotions of ordinary people going through the tragic events of Babyn Yar massacre in Kyiv. Conceived as a tribute to the dead, the book raises difficult questions about memory, responsibility, and commemoration of those who had witnessed the horrors of human suffering. The book is illustrated by sketches of the Ukrainian artists Ada Rybachuk and Volodymyr Melnychenko. The same sketches were used for the construction of the monument commemorating the victims of Babyn Yar. The works of the artist Zinoviy Tolkachov "Talescoten", series "Majdanek", 1944, as well as a photo of Dmytro Peysakhov from the series "Babyn Yar" are also used in the publication.
This book is the first volume in a series of comic books about the spice trade and the spirit of navigation with all its vivid humor. The dominance of the Arabs in the spice trade and the envy of the Portuguese and Spaniards define the script and plot of the story, covering the maritime trade from 1440 to 1500. The story is inspired by the adventures and navigation techniques of Ahmed bin Majid, the great Arab navigator. Medieval history, mythology and archetypes are adapted to the modern world to facilitate the narration of the story and generate interest. He uses anachronisms and discourses of contemporary media to create comedy. In this volume, Prince Henry hires Chung Chung, the Chinese traveler to steal Majid's map, but Majid's cunning prevails. Majid also gives a lesson to the 41 pirates and their captain, Black Fin.

The time has come Hamidreza Shahabadi’s second installment of The Gate of the Dead Series. As we expect from the author, this novel too is such an intricately woven network of evens, twists, and surprises. Also, history again plays a pivotal role in this title; and that is what readers love about his works. Pleasant and plausible dialogs along with dramatic setting has made an atmosphere of unprecedented density and intensity for young adults. The author has created a relatable character, called Nader, who is the symbol of modernity and progress. Nader comes to Reza and his companion’s aid and together, they try to dismantle a gang of child kidnappers. Nader, a graduate of astronomy from the Netherlands, Nader has dreams of making and flying a balloon. On the other hand, we have Reza, who has come back to Tehran with the hope of going to Mirza Hassan Rushdieh’s school. Tehran in Qajar period was plagued with Cholera and what Reza witnesses haunts him for the rest of his life. Parallel to this storyline, we go forth a couple of hundreds of years to Majid’s house, who accidentally had found Reza’s scripts. He reads and reads and is obsessed with Reza’s fate and that building they found at the end of book 1. He goes back to the old mansion and a strange Indian man catches his eyes. The rest of the book is the struggle between fantasy and history and the narrow line of what men consider reality or fiction. Farrokh and Noyan Khan, the antagonists, still searching for Reza and Shakoor, who fell into the peculiar pond of the mansion, have expanded their range of bad deeds to new levels and that is why Reza feels responsible to face them and save their captured slaves. The world of dead accepts anyone and let out no one. But when Reza walks his readers into the underground world, we cannot help but recall the ancient Greek mythology of the paid price of coming back to life. The honest confrontation of logical science and superstition, the embodiment of which is Nader, has influenced Shahabadi’s story to be relatable to modern day adolescents, as well as adults. Nader and Reza’s relationship is of paramount value during the course of the story. They face abominable groups of tyrants and criminals and bullies, and with rooted trust and a couple of loyal friends, are able to finish what they started as a single rescue mission. Numerous new characters are introduced in this title, all of whom are representative of different social classes and from historical perspective, can be considered a mirror to what Tehran was like back then. Shakoor came to rescue. He told me to jump into the pond. I went ahead and stood at the edge. Slowly, I put by right foot on the surface and then, my left foot. Now I too was standing on the water. “Hurry up before someone sees us.” Shakoor said… I did what I did the last time. He pulled me down and I opened my eyes and started breathing. We were surrounded by too many men and women and children floating underwater. We were suspended in a bright space. Their hair was wild and their faces seemed white and frightened. Shakkor faced me and said: “Look Reza, I’ll help you escape Noyan’s mansion and in return, you need to do something for me. “ - Do what? - I’ll tell you. First, we need to go a bit further down, where you can see someone. He pulled me down and our surrounding got darker and darker… we floated and everything and everyone was hanging upside down… he then called out: “Rasool, Rasool…” The boy came out; his eyes lightless and colorless, his lips thin and tenuous. Before I could utter a word, Shakoor said: “he arrived two weeks ago and you are going to save his sister up there!”

‘A riveting resurrection of the city of poets, the city of history, Saif Mahmood’s learned and evocative book takes us to the heart of Delhi’s romance with Urdu verse and aesthetics.’—Namita Gokhale Urdu poetry rules the cultural and emotional landscape of India—especially northern India and much of the Deccan—and of Pakistan. And it was in the great, ancient city of Delhi that Urdu grew to become one of the world’s most beautiful languages. Through the 18th and 19th centuries, while the Mughal Empire was in decline, Delhi became the capital of a parallel kingdom—the kingdom of Urdu poetry—producing some of the greatest, most popular poets of all time. They wrote about the pleasure and pain of love, about the splendour of God and the villainy of preachers, about the seductions of wine, and about Delhi, their beloved home. This treasure of a book documents the life and work of the finest classical Urdu poets: Sauda, Dard, Mir, Ghalib, Momin, Zafar, Zauq and Daagh. Through their biographies and poetry—including their best-known ghazals—it also paints a compelling portrait of Mughal Delhi. This is a book for anyone who has ever been touched by Urdu or Delhi, by poetry or romance.
