KHIEM - Djibril Morissette-Phan, Yasmine Morissette-Phan
All their lives, Yasmine and Djibril Morissette Phan have heard of their mother''s old country, Vietnam. But it was more a far distant land with lots of folklore more than a real place in their mind. Too often, immigrants bring fragments of their culture with them, pass them on to their seeds, but the reality remains sketchy to those descendants. Yasmine and Djibril decided to reconnect with their mother''s ancestral home and confront themselves with the realities of Vietnam. What they found will leave them change forever. Khiem is a poignant story about the past, the present and the future. About generations. A journey about reconnecting with your own roots.

A Carpet Ride to Khiva - Christopher Alexander, Chris Aslan
The Silk Road conjures images of the exotic and the unknown. Most travellers simply pass along it. Brit Chris Alexander chose to live there. Ostensibly writing a guidebook, Alexander found life at the heart of the glittering madrassahs, mosques and minarets of the walled city of Khiva - a remote desert oasis in Uzbekistan - immensely alluring, and stayed.Immersing himself in the language and rich cultural traditions Alexander discovers a world torn between Marx and Mohammed - a place where veils and vodka, pork and polygamy freely mingle - against a backdrop of forgotten carpet designs, crumbling but magnificent Islamic architecture and scenes drawn straight from "The Arabian Nights". Accompanied by a large green parrot, a ginger cat and his adoptive Uzbek family, Alexander recounts his efforts to rediscover the lost art of traditional weaving and dyeing, and the process establishing a self-sufficient carpet workshop, employing local women and disabled people to train as apprentices.A Carpet Ride to Khiva sees Alexander being stripped naked at a former Soviet youth camp, crawling through silkworm droppings in an attempt to record their life-cycle, holed up in the British Museum discovering carpet designs dormant for half a millennia, tackling a carpet-thieving mayor, distinguishing natural dyes from sacks of opium in Northern Afghanistan, bluffing his way through an impromptu version of "My Heart Will Go On" for national Uzbek TV and seeking sanctuary as an anti-Western riot consumed the Kabul carpet bazaar. It is an unforgettable true travel story of a journey to the heart of the unknown and the unexpected friendship one man found there.

Hory zpívají - Nguyen Phan Que Mai - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Román o lidské vytrvalosti, odhodlání a rodinných poutech na pozadí pohnutých dějin Vietnamu. Audiokniha Hory zpívají je příběhem několika generací rodiny Tranovy mapujícím téměř celé jedno století vietnamských dějin – od francouzské koloniální nadvlády přes nástup osvobozeneckého levicového hnutí Viet Minh, rozdělení země na severní a jižní část, válku ve Vietnamu až po současnost. Pohnuté dějiny země sledujeme očima houževnaté Dieu Lan a její vnučky Huong. Dieu Lan, narozená v roce 1920, přichází v životě téměř o vše, co měla – o otce, manžela, bratra i nejstaršího syna. Během pozemkové reformy je její rodině zabaven veškerý majetek a ona musí s šesti dětmi uprchnout z rodinné farmy, aby si zachránila holý život. Turbulentní historické změny i nedostatek ale snáší s hrdostí a laskavostí. V 70. letech v Hanoji obchoduje na černém trhu, aby zajistila důstojnější životní podmínky svým blízkým i celé komunitě. Její vnučka Huong začíná dospívat právě ve chvíli, kdy se její příbuzní vydávají bojovat do konfliktu, který rozdělí celou její milovanou zemi i rodinu. Válka ve Vietnamu totiž nebyla pouze mezinárodním ideologickým střetem, ale i občanskou válkou mezi příbuznými. Pro fanoušky Min Jin Lee a Lisy See. Autor: Nguyen Phan Que Mai se narodila roku 1973 v Severním Vietnamu, a když jí bylo šest let, přesídlila s rodinou na jih. Pracovala jako pouliční prodejkyně i na rýžových polích. Poté získala stipendium a studovala v Austrálii. Získala doktorský titul v oboru tvůrčího psaní na Univerzitě v Lancasteru. Dlouhodobě se věnuje podpoře vzdělávání mladých dívek a působí jako mírová ambasadorka organizace PeaceTree Vietnam, která pomáhá likvidovat nevybuchlé bomby ve Vietnamu.

Audiokniha: Autorka mezinárodně úspěšné knihy Hory zpívají přichází s dalším románem o rodinných tajemstvích, potlačovaných traumatech i nekonečné síle odpuštění, který začíná během války ve Vietnamu a pokračuje i mnoho let poté. V roce 1969 se sestry Trang a Quynh rozhodnou odejít z rodné vesnice za prací do Saigonu, aby pomohly rodičům splatit dluhy. Zaměstnat se nechají v baru, kde mají flirtovat s americkými vojáky (a sem tam i něco víc) a přimět je co nejvíce utrácet. Netrvá to dlouho a stydlivá Trang se bezhlavě zamiluje do mladého a okouzlujícího pilota vrtulníku Dana. Krutá doba však jejich lásce nepřeje. O několik desetiletí později se Dan vrací do Vietnamu se svou manželkou Lindou. Doufá, že si tak zahojí staré rány a vyřeší i svá tajemství z minulosti. Ve stejné době se Phong, syn afroamerického vojáka a Vietnamky, snaží se svou ženou a dvěma dětmi dostat do USA, kde by rád rodině zajistil lepší život. Sám vyrůstal v sirotčinci, na nějž nemá právě dobré vzpomínky. Byl přece synem nepřítele. Dítětem prachu. Autorka osudy svých postav umně proplétá a postupně čtenáři odkrývá dříve neznámé souvislosti. Protagonisty nechává zpětně čelit rozhodnutím, která učinili za války, a najít to, co je spojuje navzdory rozdílné rase, kultuře či jazyku.

Restaurant Kid - Rachel Phan
A warm and poignant narrative about finding one’s self amidst the grind of restaurant life, the cross-generational immigrant experience, and a daughter’s attempts to connect with parents who have always been just out of reach. **An International Bestseller**When she was three years old, Rachel Phan met her replacement. Instead of a new sibling, her parents’ time and attention were suddenly devoted entirely to their new family restaurant. For her parents—whose own families fled China during the Japanese occupation during the Second Sino-Japanese War and then survived bombs and starvation during the war in Vietnam—it was a dream come true. For Rachel, it was something quite different. Overnight, she became a restaurant kid, living on the periphery of her own family and trying her best to stay out of the way. While Rachel grew up, the restaurant was there—the most stalwart and suffocating member of her family. For decades, it’s been both their crowning achievement and the origin of so much of their pain and suffering: screaming matches complete with smashed dishes , bodies worn down by ever-spreading arthritis, and tenuous relationships where they love one another deeply without ever really knowing each other. In Restaurant Kid, Rachel seeks to examine the way her life has been shaped by the rigid boxes placed around her. She had to be a good daughter, never asking questions, always being grateful. She had to be a “real Canadian,” watching hockey and speaking English so flawlessly that her tongue has since forgotten how to contort around Cantonese tones. As the only Chinese girl at school, she had to alternate between being the Asian sidekick, geek, or slut, depending on whose gaze was on her. Now, thirty-one years after their restaurant first opened, Rachel''s parents are cautiously talking about retirement. As an adult restaurant kid, Rachel’s good daughter role demands something new of her—a chance to get to know her parents on the trip of a lifetime. Bringing to lyric life the prism of growing up in a "third culture," Rachel Phan has crafted a vibrant new narrative of growing up, the strength and foibles of family, and how we come to understand ourselves.

The Italy Letters - Vi Khi Nao
A mesmerizing epistolary tale of a sensual queer love affair set against the backdrop of Las Vegas’ gritty underbelly.The Italy Letters is a slim, powerful shot of literary fantasia from one of America’s best-kept secrets. Long an underground favorite, visionary writer Vi Khi Nao weaves an unforgettable and highly distinctive story of a love affair suffused with longing, erotic passion, and heartbreak—all while painting a picture of the gritty underside of Las Vegas.This beautiful and mesmerizing novel by a queer Vietnamese American writer is a brilliant and unclassifiable work of fiction that takes the form of a series of letters written by the unnamed narrator to her lover in Italy … part of a stream-of-consciousness narrative that is by turns poignant, bawdy, funny, and disturbing—and often beautifully poetic. Along the way, the story touches on the immigrant experience, LGBTQIA identity, social class, writing, betrayal, sex, and homesickness. The result is an authentically distinctive piece of writing from a writer on the cusp of wide acclaim. SEE LESS

Zaitoun - Yasmin Khan
A dazzling cookbook with vibrant recipes, captivating stories and stunning photography from Palestine 'A moving, hugely knowledgeable and utterly delicious book' Anthony Bourdain 'A big bowl-full of delicious Palestinian recipes, plus lots of insightful and moving stories... Great stuff' Yotam Ottolenghi 'A zingingly evocative collection of personal stories... Calling it a cookbook does it a disservice. Zaitoun deserves to be read as much as cooked from' Observer Food Monthly Bursting with the freshness and brightness that is characteristic of all Levantine cuisine, Palestinian food is fragrant, healthy and delicious. From a colourful array of bountiful mezze dishes to rich slow-cooked stews flavoured with aromatic spice blends, it's a cuisine that represents the very best of modern Middle Eastern cookery. In this beautiful Palestinian cookbook, food writer Yasmin Khan shares recipes and stories from her travels through the region. On her journey she harvests black olives from the groves of Burquin in the West Bank, hand-rolls maftool - the plump Palestinian couscous - in home kitchens in Jenin and even finds time to enjoy a pint with workers at the Taybeh brewery, which is producing the first Palestinian craft beer. As she feasts and cooks with Palestinians of all ages and backgrounds, she learns about the realities of their everyday lives. Zaitoun includes herb-filled salads, quick pickles, fragrant soups, tender roasted meats and rich desserts, and has a special focus on vegetarian versions of Palestinian classics. It has recipes for olive, fig and honey tapenade, roast chicken stuffed with pine nuts and raisins, and pomegranate passion cake, among many others. And surrounding the recipes, there is a chorus of stories from those who love, live and cook with Palestine in their hearts. About the Author Yasmin Khan is an award-winning author, campaigner and cook who is passionate about sharing people's stories through food. Her debut book, The Saffron Tales, explored her culinary adventures through Iran and was named by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and BBC Radio 4's Food Programme as one of the best cookbooks of 2016. Prior to working in food, Khan spent a decade working as a human rights campaigner for NGOs and grassroots groups. yasminkhanstories.com / @yasmin_khan

The Sugar Jar - Yasmine Cheyenne
“With calm and compassionate power, Yasmine is helping us to find our way back home—back to our own selves.” —Layla Saad, New York Times bestselling author of Me & White Supremacy“Yasmine’s work is monumental, and I am in much better holistic alignment because of her dedicated and helpful offerings to the world.”—Alex Elle, author of After the RainA radical approach to setting boundaries and protecting your energy, rich with tools for self-healing.Imagine a glass jar filled with sugar on a kitchen counter. You are the jar, and the sugar is your energy. If the jar has no lid, people can come in and take as much sugar as they want. Sometimes, they spill that sugar all over. You may try to refill your jar—replenish your energy—through self-care, but because there is no a lid—no protective boundary—you cannot control how much of your vital life force is being drained.The Sugar Jar metaphor is a powerful teaching tool that wellness advocate and coach Yasmine Cheyenne has successfully used with her clients. Now, in her debut book, she makes it available to everyone. Warm and honest, featuring a beautiful and inviting two-color design, combining stories, exercises, and prompts, The Sugar Jar:· Lets you see just how much energy you have and how much is being used by others.· Helps you identify what depletes you, what restores you, and how to recognize destructive patterns.· Empowers you to free yourself from performing for and serving others, teaching you to set boundaries to help you heal and recharge.· Frees you from the excess stress and exhaustion that wears you down.· Allows you to unleash your authentic self, choose joy, and find lasting balance.A compassionate teacher, Cheyenne offers a unique and much needed perspective. A former member of the Air Force working with victims of domestic violence, she has specifically designed her approach and questions about boundaries, self-care, and self-healing for readers of all backgrounds, and especially readers of color, whose stressors and life challenges have too often been excluded and overlooked. Cheyenne herself has felt unwelcome as a Black woman in predominantly white wellness groups and retreats. Her inclusive message speaks to the needs of BIPOC readers, and accepts them where they are.The Sugar Jar shows you how to make small adjustments that can lead to big changes in your life.

Compiled during the initial lockdown in Europe, this special collection is a meteoric publishing project with contributions from some of the most exciting and innovative authors working today. Meditating on notions of distance and closeness, sameness and alterity, extinguishing and kindling, Tools for Extinction considers how a common pause might give rise to new modes of domesticity and shift experiences of time. What gestures and actions are we willing to perform to make ourselves, and each other, feel at ease – or at work? What tools and objects are useful, or unprecedentedly useless, to us in the process? And as our species’ trademark proclivity for projecting ourselves into the future is disrupted, might we come to see the buildings, animals, plants, and foodstuffs around us in a new light?The anthology takes its name from Steven Brand’s Whole Earth Catalog, a 1960s counterculture compendium of product reviews, essays, and articles on the themes of self-sufficiency, ecology, and alternative education. By giving “access to toolsâ€, a new social order and a more sustainable Earth was imagined. Compiled, edited and with a foreword by Denise Rose Hansen.

Undiscovered Heroes of the Second World War - Yasmin Khan
An important commemorative collection to mark the eightieth anniversary of VE Day, to ensure the world never forgets.At the outbreak of the Second World War, the British empire covered one quarter of the earth''s land surface and included one fifth of the world''s population. People all around the British empire were caught up in the war in very different and unexpected ways, and had their lives completely changed, sometimes in ways that they could never have ever imagined. Leading historian Professor Yasmin Khan tells the stories of some of those people, from tea pickers in India to a MÄori army lieutenant serving on the front line, and from a Singaporean resistance fighter to the first Australian woman journalist to report on the D-Day landings in Dunkirk. Each account gives a voice to these incredibly brave unsung heroes, who deserve to be remembered for their courage and dedication to the Allied war effort.

Posing as an aspiring journalist, Isla insinuates herself into the wealthy family’s home and begins searching for the truth. The more she digs, the more Isla discovers Eden isn’t who she thought she was. Was she even a victim, or did Eden plan this all along?

But as she wades deeper into this power-hungry family’s secrets and lies, she finds herself in the crosshairs of a bloodline that’s more lethal than loyal.
