Book Description
Excerpt from Travels and Adventures in the Province of Assam, During a Residence of Fourteen Years A dreary trip of six weeks' tracking up against a rapid stream, with heavy west-country boats, brought us to our destination in the month of April. On our arrival we were fortunate in meeting with a small bungalow, made of bamboos, grass, and reed walls but it was void of the luxury of a door or glass window. Having frequently before felt the discomfort of being without windows, I had learned experience, and took the precaution ofcarry ing with me, wherever I went, two windows, one for a sitting and one for a bed-room. The rainy season being close at hand, we made ourselves as comfortable as circumstances would admit, by laying down bamboo mats to protect us from the damp earth floor; and having plastered the outside reed walls with mud, we vainly Imagined we were securely sheltered for some time to come. But we know not what a day may bring forth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
The soaring peaks of the greatest mountain range on Earth have long drawn visitors from around the globe, and one of the most famous of the 19th century was British adventurer and scholar Laurence Waddell, who spent most of a decade and a half exploring the nations that cling to the sides of the mighty mountains, learning the ways of their peoples, and sharing his experiences with Western readers. Here, in this 1899 classic of Himalayan travel, Waddell introduces us to the challenges of traveling in the region, takes us on visits to Nepalese and Tibetan tea gardens, journeys to monasteries, palaces, and temples, and much more. Beautiful photos and drawings complement Waddell's exciting and gripping tales-he offers some of the first "evidence" for the mysterious creatures known as "yeti," for instance-and make this an essential work for anyone drawn to the dangerous beauty of the Himalayas. British archaeologist and Orientalist LAURENCE AUSTINE WADDELL (1854-1938) also wrote The Buddhism of Tibet or Lamaism (1894) and Lhasa and Its Mysteries (1905).

Book Description
Khadeejah is a hard-working and stubborn first-generation Indian woman who longs for her beloved homeland and often questions what she is doing on the tip of Africa. At 37, her daughter Summaya is struggling to reconcile her South African and Indian identities, while Summaya’s own daughter, eleven-year-old Aneesa, is a girl who has some difficult questions of her own. Is her mother lying to her about her father’s death? Why won’t she tell her what really happened? Gradually, the past merges with the present as the novel meanders through their lives, uncovering the secrets people keep, the words they swallow, and the emotions they elect to mute. For this family, faintly detectable through the sharp spicy aromas that find their way out of Khadeejah’s kitchen, the scent of tragedy is always threatening. Eventually, it will bring this family together. If not, it will tear them apart.
