Weer typisch een juweel van Agualusa. Het is het jaar 2020 in Luanda, de hoofdstad van Angola. Voor de voeten van documentairemaker en schrijver Bartolomeu Falcato en zijn minnares Kianda, een bekende zangeres, valt een schitterende vrouw te pletter. Met deze scène begint Het labyrint van Luanda, dat zowel over het hedendaagse Angola gaat als over de toekomst van dat land. De gouden jaren van de aardolie zijn voorbij maar de diamanthandel maakt nog velen rijk, en het van corruptie doordrenkte land is een bizarre smeltkroes geworden van donkere bezweringsrituelen en riante penthouses. Bartolomeu Falcato vertelt over zijn stukgelopen huwelijk en zijn affaire met Kianda, die tot de tragische ontdekking komt dat zij aan keelkanker lijdt en zonder haar stem verder moet leven. Het labyrint van Luanda is typisch een juweel van Agualusa: poëtisch en precies, vol muziek, hoop en amusement. Met deze roman bewijst de auteur opnieuw de kronieken van zijn land met kleur en smaak te kunnen vertellen.

"A totally absorbing book...imaginative and erudite, full of startling juxtapositions and flashes of real perception."—Jonathan D. Spence John E. Wills's masterful history ushers us into the worlds of 1688, from the suicidal exaltation of Russian Old Believers to the ravishing voice of the haiku poet Basho. Witness the splendor of the Chinese imperial court as the Kangxi emperor publicly mourns the death of his grandmother and shrewdly consolidates his power. Join the great caravans of Muslims on their annual pilgrimage from Damascus and Cairo to Mecca. Walk the pungent streets of Amsterdam and enter the Rasp House, where vagrants, beggars, and petty criminals labored to produce powdered brazilwood for the dyeworks. Through these stories and many others, Wills paints a detailed picture of how the global connections of power, money, and belief were beginning to lend the world its modern form. "A vivid picture of life in 1688...filled with terrifying violence, frightening diseases...comfortingly familiar human kindnesses...and the intellectual achievements of Leibniz, Locke, and Newton."—Publishers Weekly

Doktor Konrad Grimm, Historiker und Ethnologe, tritt seine Reise nach Namibia mit gemischten Gefühlen an. Natürlich freut er sich auf das Wiedersehn mit Land und Leuten, und wenn es sich bewahrheitet, dass es in den Felsmassiven des Kaoko-Velds Zeugnisse moderner Buschmannskunst gibt, wird diese Exkursion auch ein wissenschaftlicher Erfolg. Andererseits ist Grimm ausgerüstet wie ein Geheimagent. Seine Geldgeber verlangen nämlich, dass er Proben eines bestimmtes Minerals außer Landes schmuggelt. Das bedrückt und verunsichert ihn, und es macht ihn misstrauisch. Gibt die attraktive Lu seinem Werben nach, weil sie ihn mag, oder will sie ihm nachspionieren? Und van Draken, der angebliche Reporter! Warum hängt er sich an Grimm? Auch der Herero Jesaya und der Buschmann Kungóro, Fahrer und Führer Grimms, benehmen sich eigenartig. Es wird eine Fahrt voller Gefahren, weil jeder sein besonderes Ziel verfolgt und weil sie in einen Krieg führt.

Luanda, Angola, 1990. Ndalu is a normal twelve-year old boy in an extraordinary time and place. Like his friends, he enjoys laughing at his teachers, avoiding homework and telling tall tales. But Ndalu's teachers are Cuban, his homework assignments include writing essays on the role of the workers and peasants, and the tall tales he and his friends tell are about a criminal gang called Empty Crate which specializes in attacking schools. Ndalu is mystified by the family servant, Comrade Antonio, who thinks that Angola worked better when it was a colony of Portugal, and by his Aunt Dada, who lives in Portugal and doesn't know what a ration card is. In a charming voice that is completely original, Good Morning Comrades tells the story of a group of friends who create a perfect childhood in a revolutionary socialist country fighting a bitter war. But the world is changing around these children, and like all childhood's Ndalu's cannot last. An internationally acclaimed novel, already published in half a dozen countries, Good Morning Comrades is an unforgettable work of fiction by one of Africa's most exciting young writers.

Michael Barr explores the complex and covert networks of power at work in one of the world's most prosperous countries - the city-state of Singapore. He argues that the contemporary networks of power are a deliberate project initiated and managed by Lee Kuan Yew - former prime minister and Singapore's 'founding father' - designed to empower himself and his family. Barr identifies the crucial institutions of power - including the country's sovereign wealth funds, and the government-linked companies - together with five critical features that form the key to understanding the nature of the networks. He provides an assessment of possible shifts of power within the elite in the wake of Lee Kuan Yew's son, Lee Hsien Loong, assuming power, and considers the possibility of a more fundamental democratic shift in Singapore's political system.
