8vo, br, ed. 380pp. In Birmania gira una battuta popolare, secondo cui Orwell non scrisse soltanto un romanzo sul Paese, "Giorni birmani", ma un'intera trilogia, completata da "La fattoria degli animali" e "1984". La connessione della Birmania (oggi chiamata Myanmar) con George Orwell non è metaforica, ma profonda e reale. In un intrepido diario di viaggio dal taglio politico e biografico, Emma Larkin guida il lettore alla scoperta dei luoghi dove Orwell ha vissuto e lavorato come agente della polizia imperiale britannica, vivendo esperienze che condizionarono profondamente la sua visione del mondo. Alla scomparsa di Orwell, il romanzo in stesura trovato sulla sua scrivania era ambientato in Birmania. Attraversando Mandalay e Yangon, le isolate aree meridionali del Delta dell'Irrawaddy e le montagne del nord dove gli inglesi andavano in villeggiatura per sfuggire al caldo delle pianure, l'autrice ritrae con immagini vivide un Paese appassionante e struggente. Prima colonizzata e in seguito governata da una giunta militare isolazionista e brutale, la nazione ha visto la propria storia e identità cancellate a più riprese da metodi di governo orwelliani, che hanno soppresso libertà d'espressione e pensiero. Ispirata dalla chiarezza morale e dal rifiuto dell'ingiustizia di Orwell, l'autrice incontra persone che hanno trovato un modo di resistere agli effetti annientatoti di uno dei più crudeli Stati di polizia, restituendo loro dignità.

8vo, br. d. 600pp. Sotto il vessillo della Guerra santa, grazie alla guida di Berlino e alla longa manus di Costantinopoli, tedeschi e turchi diedero il via nel 1914, mentre la Prima guerra mondiale si preparava a devastare il Vecchio continente, al tentativo di scatenare la rivoluzione nell’India britannica e nell’Asia centrale russa, nonché di rafforzarsi in Medio Oriente. Si trattava di una nuova e più ampia versione dell’antico «Grande Gioco», con il dominio del mondo come obiettivo finale. Raccontato con epici dettagli, Servizi segreti a oriente di Costantinopoli è il resoconto delle imprese, dei complotti, dei fallimenti e dei successi delle spie, dei cospiratori, dei diplomatici e degli avventurieri che vi presero parte nei due opposti schieramenti, in un susseguirsi di eroismi, tradimenti e sacrifici. Un’opera che getta nuova luce sulle ambigue trame delle grandi potenze in questa regione instabile del mondo in cui il «Grande Gioco» non è mai finito.

HBK with dj, green boards, five pages b/w photographs, b/w figures, book as new - ISBN 0 300 09760 3 In this powerful history of Pakistan from 1947 to the present, Bennett Jones describes the many fault lines in Pakistani society. He assesses the role of the nationalists in the provinces, the feudal landlords in the countryside, and the bureaucratic elite in Islamabad and analyses the complex relationships between religion, regional politics and the armed forces.The combination of political instability, deep-seated economic and social problems, access to nuclear weapons, and the war in neighboring Afghanistan have made Pakistan one of the most strategically sensitive countries in the world. Its military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, recently re-elected to a second term as President, is at the centre of global attention. He is the first Pakistani leader in thirty years to dare to confront the country's Islamic extremists. But will he succeed in controlling the forces that helped create the Taliban in Afghanistan and fuelled the bitter conflict in Kashmir? Will his army and intelligence agencies be able to tame the radical elements that they created and sustained?As a BBC correspondent in Pakistan between 1998 and 2001, Bennett Jones witnessed first hand many of the events that brought General Musharraf to power. This book contains the first detailed accounts of the 1999 coup, the Kargil conflict and how Pakistan came to test its nuclear bomb. It will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand a country that was crucial to the expulsion of Soviet forces from Afghanistan in the 1980s and which, after the 11 September 2001 attack, became a key coalition partner in America's was against terrorism.328 pages
8vo, hardcover in dj. 253pp. From Spanish conquistadors to British colonialists, the prevailing story of European empire-building has focused on the rival ambitions of competing states. But as Outsourcing Empire shows, from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, company-states?not sovereign states?drove European expansion, building the world?s first genuinely international system. Company-states were hybrid ventures: pioneering multinational trading firms run for profit, with founding charters that granted them sovereign powers of war, peace, and rule. Those like the English and Dutch East India Companies carved out corporate empires in Asia, while other company-states pushed forward European expansion through North America, Africa, and the South Pacific. In this comparative exploration, Andrew Phillips and J. C. Sharman explain the rise and fall of company-states, why some succeeded while others failed, and their role as vanguards of capitalism and imperialism. In dealing with alien civilizations to the East and West, Europeans relied primarily on company-states to mediate geographic and cultural distances in trade and diplomacy. Emerging as improvised solutions to bridge the gap between European rulers? expansive geopolitical ambitions and their scarce means, company-states succeeded best where they could balance the twin imperatives of power and profit. Yet as European states strengthened from the late eighteenth century onward, and a sense of separate public and private spheres grew, the company-states lost their usefulness and legitimacy. Bringing a fresh understanding to the ways cross-cultural relations were handled across the oceans, Outsourcing Empire examines the significance of company-states as key progenitors of the globalized world.
