Book excerpt: "Part fable, part metaphor, Little Girl Gazelle is an extraordinarily beautiful picture book focused on discrimination and equality and presenting parents' subtle efforts to ready their gazelle child to grow up in "a world of lions." The little girl gazelle leaps from page to page, asking hard questions about what is fair and right. But she's sleek and fleet, and the poetic language lifts her up, up, higher and faster as she whirls through the bold eloquence of the book's illustrations, making colourful tracks, leaving her mark, and finding her way as she skims and dances over the unjust world."

Elizabeth’s imagination, primed by an explicit edition of The Arabian Nights, leads her to fantasies about her father’s friend, a gentle, older man named Ramses Ragab, a perfume maker who visits their house regularly to play games of war and who opens her up to the mystery of hieroglyphics and the art of exotic scents.

Download or read book Silken Gazelles written by Jokha Alharthi and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-08-28 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From International Booker Prize-winning author of Celestial Bodies and Bitter Orange Tree, a new novel about two Omani women whose unbreakable connection is forged as nursing sisters — a bond considered akin to that of a birth sibling. Raised as sisters, Ghazaala is devastated when her friend Asiya is forced to leave their small mountainside village. It is a separation that haunts her into adulthood, and she never gives up on finding a love that might replace the bond they shared. Years later, Ghazaala’s family moves to Muscat, where she falls in love with a professional violinist who lives in their building. She surrenders herself completely to his charm and, despite her parents’ opposition, runs away from home to marry him. While balancing the duties of a new wife — caring for her husband, their home, and, before long, their twin boys — Ghazaala resumes her education and enrolls in university. Ghazaala’s sharp wit catches the attention of another student, Harir, during their freshman year. In the pages of her diary, Harir recounts the story of her deepening, transformative friendship with Ghazaala over the course of ten years. The elusive, ghostly existence of Asiya exerts a force over both their lives, yet neither Ghazaala nor Harir is aware of the connection. From the brilliant mind of Jokha Alharthi comes a tale of childhood friendship, and how its significance — and loss — can be recalibrated at different stages of life.
Download or read book The Gazelle s Dream written by Alison Betts and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once the world’s prairies, grasslands, steppes and tundra teemed with massive herds of game: gazelle, wild ass, bison, caribou and antelope. Humans seeking to hunt these large fast-moving herds devised a range of specialised traps that share many characteristics across all continents. Typically consisting of guiding walls or lines of stones leading to an enclosure or trap, game drives were designed for a mass killing. Construction of the game drive, organisation of the hunt and processing of the carcass often required group co-operation and in many cases game drives have been linked to seasonal gatherings of otherwise scattered groups, who may have used these occasions not only to hunt, but also for social, ritual and economic activities. The Gazelle’s Dream: Game Drives of the Old and New Worlds is the first comparative study of game drives, examining this mode of hunting across three continents and a broad range of periods. The book describes the hunting of bison in North America, reindeer in Scandinavia, antelope in Tibet and an extensive array of examples from the greater Middle East, from Egypt to Armenia. The Gazelle’s Dream will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of hunting and wildlife management.
