Chicken Curry Rice: Behind the scenes in an Indian restaurant, 1976
ISBN: 9781548609900 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A young Englishman who has lost his way in life ventures into the world of Bangladeshi catering in Birmingham. He discovers a shadowy underworld filled with eccentric characters where survival is difficult and every day brings fresh challenges.

At Sea: An Oceanic Interlude 1964
ISBN: 9781515340317 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the early 1960s a naive young Englishman is travelling by boat to India as one of a batch of six sent out to perform a year of voluntary service overseas. These diary entries describe life on board ship among a medley of odd characters, punctuated by port calls at Barcelona, Port Said and Aden. Boisterous and often unconsciously amusing, the narrative paints a vivid picture of a sea voyage in the days before air travel became commonplace and offers colourful glimpses of the countries visited on the way. The chronicle is full of human interest and barely suggested romance. The mood is...

"I had just completed my journalism course and was firmly convinced that the media were waiting for me with bated breath. I am ready, I thought. I was fairly sure I would win the Pulitzer prize that same year; I was brimming with self confidence and eagerness. At last I could swap book-learning for reality and actually feel the pulse of life. A war was going on in Afghanistan; what then could be better than to start my career as a journalist there? At long last I could sally forth and do what countless men had done before me: I would go to war." 'To the Front and Back' are tales from ten...
