'One of the finest writers of his generation' Financial TimesThousands of islands rise from the rivers' rich silts,crowned with forests of mangrove, rising on stilts.This is the Sundarban, where great rivers give birth;to a vast jungle that joins Ocean and Earth.Jungle Nama is a beautifully illustrated verse adaptation of a legend from the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest. It tells the story of the avaricious rich merchant Dhona, the poor lad Dukhey, and his mother; it is also the story of Dokkhin Rai, a mighty spirit who appears to humans as a tiger, of Bon Bibi, the benign goddess of the forest, and her warrior brother Shah Jongoli. Jungle Nama is the story of an ancient legend with urgent relevance to today's climate crisis. Its themes of limiting greed, and of preserving the balance between the needs of humans and nature have never been more timely.Written in Amitav Ghosh's interpretation of the traditional Bengali verse meter, poyar, the poem is coupled with stunning illustrations from internationally renowned artist, Salman Toor.

Marseille s'est toujours nourrie d'histoires et de légendes. En 2600 et quelques années, ses habitants ont eu le temps d'y réfléchir...Patrick Coulomb fait ici un travail qui mêle le résumé historique (de quelques catastrophes, mystères et événements divers) à la fantaisie et à l'extrapolation. Sans revenir sur le mythe fondateur de Gyptis et de Protis, il en appelle en revanche aux mânes de quelques animauxemblématiques de la ville, à sa réputation d'épicentre de trafics illicites, à la mémoire d'Arthur Rimbaud et même à la descendance de Jésus...Certains de ces textes ne cherchent pas autre chose qu'être des rappels historiques, d'autres, comme le "Vortex des Réformés", glissent dans une autre dimension...

This edition of Charles Kingsley¿s The Water-Babies - A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby illustrated by A. E. Jackson was originally published in 1920. The story was extremely popular in England and was a mainstay of British children¿s literature for many decades.In this children¿s fairy tale, Tom, a chimney sweep, falls into a river and metamorphoses into a ¿water baby¿. The story follows his adventures and experiences after his transformation, and the moral and spiritual lessons he learns throughout his ¿evolution¿.

This classic text is celebrated as a significant work of both children¿s fiction and scientific satire.We are republishing this famous story in a vibrant new edition, complete with reproductions of the artwork and colour plates, as originally illustrated by A.
