Janak, a mild-mannered tailor in the remote village of Giripul, is besotted with his beautiful but sullen wife. All he wants is her love. Instead, he must deal all day with the village women who come to him with bits of cloth to stitch - and their dreams. Including the headman's third wife, who has a recurrent and rather ominous dream of beheading her husband. Then, one day, as the villagers watch in fascination the antics of a travelling magician, a dead body turns up outside Janak's shop. And overnight the placid little village tucked in the Himalayan foothills becomes a simmering cauldron of suspicious activity and strangers walking in and out. From the headman's third wife and his Chinese hairdresser-mistress to Shankar the fisherman-turned-sleuth, Lala the teashop owner and his ex-contract killer cook, every one becomes a suspect. Will the tailor of Giripul be able to solve the mystery? Will their lives return to normal, or will the aftershock of the killing change... Views: 257

Set your timers! Ready? Set? Go! Ten Minute Tales is a collection of short pieces written in ten minutes flat, by members of the Victoria Point Writers Group, otherwise known as the Ten Minuters. We hope you will enjoy reading the tales, which are as diverse and entertaining as the writers themselves!We are the Ten Minuters and this is our anthology of short pieces, with each one written under the pump in just ten minutes. How does it work? The idea is that someone nominates a theme and each of us writes a stream of consciousness on that theme in ten minutes only and then circulates the result to the rest of the group. We don't edit the original version beyond a minor tidy-up of what emerged from the initial inspiration. None of us reads another's work until we've completed our own. There is no deadline and not everyone participates each time - other lives, unexpected demands. There have been lots of 'wow' moments: Where did those ideas come from? Why can't I be as quick writing scenes in my novel or short story? We are so different. We are so the same. We spark off each other. We all belong to the Victoria Point Writers Group. We love writing, friendship and fun. We are the Ten Minuters and these are our tales. Views: 257

The battle of El Alamein in 1942 was one of the most crucial events in the entire Second World War. Before it, the British had never won a major battle on land against the Germans; nor indeed had anyone else, even the Russians. At Alamein the British Eighth Army first thwarted the Axis attempts in North Africa to seize Cairo and the Suez Canal and then smashed through the German-Italian defences, eventually driving the Axis forces out of North Africa. This victory, by a 'British' army actually composed of a variety of nationalities including men and women from the Indian sub-continent, southern Africa, Australians, New Zealanders, French and Greeks, as well as British troops, had psychological and morale-raising significance that exceeded even its strategic importance. Nothing had the sweet smell of success prior to this battle than El Alamein and for the battered British Empire battling against the might of the Third Reich this victory was crucial to its ability to continue...

As in her former books, Alice Miller again focusses on facts. She is as determined as ever to cut through the veil that, for thousands of years now, has been so meticulously woven to shroud the truth. And when she lifts that veil and brushes it aside, the results are astonishing, as is amply demonstrated by her analyses of the works of Nietzsche, Picasso, Kollwitz, Keaton and others. With the key shunned by so many for so long - childhood - she opens rusty looks and offers her readers a wealth of unexpected perspectives.What did Picasso express in "Guernica"? Why did Buster Keaton never smile? Why did Nietzsche heap so much opprobrium on women and religion, and lose his mind for eleven years? Why did Hitler and Stalin become tyrannical mass murderers? Alice Miller investigates these and other questions thoroughly in this book. She draws from her discoveries the conclusion that human beings are not "innately" destructive, that they are made that way by ignorance, abuse, and... Views: 256
