    The first book in the incredible new series from the author of Percy Jackson, the Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus. My name is Magnus Chase. I’m orphaned and living rough on the streets of Boston. And things are about to get much worse. My day started out normally enough. I was sleeping under a bridge when some guy kicked me awake and said, ‘They’re after you.’ Next thing I know, I’m reunited with my obnoxious uncle, who casually informs me that my long-lost father is a Norse god. Nothing normal about that. And it turns out the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Apparently, if I can’t find the sword my father lost two thousand years ago, there will be doom. Doomsday, to be precise. A fire giant attacking the city? Immortal warriors hacking each other to pieces? Unkillable wolves with glowing eyes? It’s all coming up. But first I’m going to die. This is the story of how my life goes downhill from there…

  • The Reverse of the Medal – Paperback

    Store: Wiskbt

    Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin tales are widely acknowledged to be the greatest series of historical novels ever written. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of their beginning, with Master and Commander, these evocative stories are being re-issued in paperback with smart new livery. This is the eleventh book in the series. The Reverse of the Medal is in all respects an unconventional naval tale. Jack Aubrey returns from his duties protecting whalers off South America and is persuaded by a casual acquaintance to make investments in the City on the strength of supposedly certain information. From there he is led into the half worlds of the London criminal underground and of government espionage – the province of his friend, Stephen Maturin, on whom alone he can rely. Those who are already devoted readers of Patrick O’Brian will find here all the brilliance of characterisation and sparkle of dialogue which they have come to expect. For those who read him for the first time there will be the pleasure of discovering, quite unexpectedly, a novelist of unique character.

  • من هو غاندي؟

    Store: KJB_Trad

    في ١٢ مارس ١٩٣٠، انطلق موهانداس غاندي البالغ من العمر ستين عامًا من منزله في مدينة أحمد آباد في الهند، مع ثمانية وسبعين رجلًا وامرأة، ومشوا جميعًا ٣٨٦ كيلومترًا تقريبًا على طول طرق متعرجة يملؤها الغبار. واستغرق الأمر أربعة وعشرين يومًا من المشي تحت أشعة الشمس الحارقة للوصول إلى بلدة داندي على الساحل الغربي. كان غاندي يتحدث مع القرويين على طول الطريق. وبنهاية الرحلة، كان قد انضم إليه عدة آلاف من الأشخاص. وعندما وصل المتظاهرون إلى داندي، عبروا عن سعادتهم. وفي صباح اليوم التالي، في السادس من إبريل، على شاطئ البحر العربي، التقط غاندي حفنة ملح من الطين. وبقيامه بهذا، يكون قد خالف القانون. لكن هذا الفعل السلمي كان مؤثرًا؛ فقد وحّد العديد من الهنود ضد قوانين الملح الجائرة؛ التي كانت تنص على منع الهنود من جمع الملح أو صناعته أو بيعه. وفي مقابل ذلك، كان يتوجب عليهم شراؤه من البريطانيين، الذين حكموا الهند بين عامي ١٨٥٨ و١٩٤٧. وكان الملح شيئًا أساسيًّا للأسر الهندية لتتبيل الطعام. وبعد فعل غاندي البسيط والشجاع، بدأ الهنود في جميع أنحاء الهند يجمعون الملح ويبيعونه؛ وبذلك وضعت مسيرة الملح هذه، التي قادها غاندي، الهند على مسار التحرر من حكم البريطانيين. حارب موهانداس غاندي من أجل الحرية في الهند، ولكنه لم يحارب بالأسلحة؛ فقد كان يؤمن بأن الكلمات والأفعال أكثر قوة من العنف. وفوق كل ذلك، كانت لديه رسالة بسيطة مفادها العثور على الحقيقة عبر حب الآخرين والاكتراث لهم. وقد أطلق الناس عليه اسم مهاتما، وهي الكلمة التي تعني “الروح العظيمة”.
