Touki Bouki
Djibril Diop Mambéty’s exuberant, inventive and urgent film Touki Bouki (The Journey of the Hyena) (1973) follows a young couple, Mory (Magaye Niang) and Anta (Mareme Niang), who dream of leaving their home in Dakar, Senegal for an imagined better life in Paris. Rosalind Galt’s insightful study analyses Touki Bouki’s cinematic worlds, from its narrative of postcolonial migration to its influence by international film style, both nonetheless grounded in African visual cultures and critical perspectives. Touki Bouki explores the intertwined histories of the postcolonial and the transnational, showing how the aesthetic and political ideas found in the experimentation of cinematic modernisms and New Waves are as African as they are European. Galt’s study interweaves a conceptual framework of world cinema studies and anti/decolonial theory with close analysis of Touki Bouki’s innovative audiovisual forms and its representations of desire and identity in postcolonial Senegal. Providing a detailed reading of the film’s themes and cinematic style, she argues for its classic status and for its long-lasting influence on world cinema.

Tealevelek szárnyán
Megrendítő történet egy fiatal kínai nőről, aki ősei csodálatos teatermesztési hagyományában találja meg élete célját.
A világtól elzárt hegyi faluban Li-yan és családjának életét az évszakok váltakozása és a teatermesztés határozza meg. Az ősi rituálék világába zárt akha emberek generációk óta ugyanúgy élnek, míg nem váratlanul megjelenik a falu kapujában egy idegen férfi...
Az idegen érkezésének nyomán minden felbolydul, s semmi sem lehet már ugyanúgy, mint régen. Li-yan, aki egyike a közösség kevés tanult lányának, elkezdi elutasítani azokat a szokásokat, amelyek addigi életét formálták. Amikor pedig házasságon kívüli gyermeke születik, súlyos döntésre szánja rá magát: szembefordul az ősi hagyományokkal...
Vajon begyógyulhatnak-e fájó lelki sebeink, s átírhatjuk-e a tradíciók által ránk kényszerített szerepeket? A Tealevelek szárnyán gyönyörűen megírt történet gyökerekről, kultúrákról, gyászról és a láthatatlan, ám elszakíthatatlan érzelmi kötelékekről.
„– Különleges képességeid vannak – folytatja. – Nem úgy értem, hogy boszorkány vagy rókaszellem lennél. És sosem vonzódtál túlzottan a gyógyításhoz vagy a mágiához sem. Inkább íma Matára hasonlítasz, aki életet adott az akháknak, aki lerázta a béklyóit, és azt mondta: „Nem fogadom el a balszerencsémet”. Aki az éles elméje, jó szíve és kitartása révén minden akadályt legyőzött.”

The Penguin Book of Bengali Short Stories
A landmark new anthology of Bengali literature in English, including many previously untranslated stories 'A splendid guide to unmapped lands… [Sinha] is one of the best living translators at work bringing the Bengali classics into English… he writes with exceptional elegance and wit' Spectator The prose short story arrived in Bengal in the wake of British colonizers, and Bengali writers quickly made the form their own. By the twentieth century a profusion of literary magazines and journals meant they were being avidly read by millions. Writers responded to this hunger for words with a ferocious energy which reflected the turmoil of their times: these stories covered land wars, famine, the caste system, religious conflict, patriarchy, Partition and the liberation war that saw the emergence of the independent country of Bangladesh. Across these shifting geographical borders, writers also looked inward, evolving new literary styles and stretching the possibilities of social realism, political fiction and intimate domestic tales. A first in English, this anthology gathers together a century's worth of extraordinary stories. From a woman who eats fish in secret to the woes of an ageing local footballer, from the anxieties of a middle-class union rep to a lawyer who stumbles upon a philosopher's stone, this is a collection that celebrates making art of life, in all its difficulty and joy.
