This groundbreaking book on modern Palestinian culture goes beyond the usual focal point of the 1948 war to address the earlier, formative years. Drawing on previously unavailable biographies of Palestinians (including Palestinian Jews), Salim Tamari offers eleven vignettes of Palestine's cultural life in the momentous first half of the twentieth century. He brings to light the memoirs, diaries, letters, and other writings of six Jerusalem intellectuals whose lives spanned (and defined) the period of 1918-1948: a musician, a teacher, a former aristocrat, a doctor, a Bolshevik revolutionary, and a Jewish novelist. These essays present an integrated cultural history that illuminates a watershed in the modern social history of the Arab East, the formulation of the Arab Enlightenment.

Tristan da Cunha in the middle of the South Atlantic is the world's loneliest inhabited island. In the 1950s my family lived there for five years. My memoir is a snapshot of life in this unique community, experiencing their ratting days, big heaps, a royal visit and the devastation when two boats were lost. It was an extraordinary childhood, unlike any other.

Olendara — a tropical port city of warring gods and cultures, jungles and canals, faith and obsession. Before their mother got sick, twins Iyo and Issa couldn’t wait for the end of their apprenticeship. Iyo dreamed of joining the secretive fighters guild and killing the invaders whose harsh rule reduces their lives to mere survival. Issa craved the peace of diving for the waterstones that heal and purify in the hands of the priests. Alone in the sea, no one can sneer at her invader heritage. When they steal a divine waterstone in a desperate gamble to cure their mother, they shut themselves out of any future they could have imagined. Instead they enter a world of gods, visions and betrayal. Now their lives, everyone they love and the very existence of their city may be at risk of destruction. women-authored fantasy, women's friendships, female friendships, female main character, multiple POVs, non-European setting, tropical setting, colonialism, imperialism, culture clash, culture shock, LGBTQ fantasy, nonbinary characters, anti-imperialist, anti-colonialism

*WINNER OF 2023 LOCUS AWARD FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL * FINALIST FOR THE NEBULA AWARD, and THE LOS ANGELES TIMES RAY BRADBURY PRIZE “The Mountain in the Sea is a wildly original, gorgeously written, unputdownable gem of a novel. Ray Nayler is one of the most exciting new voices I’ve read in years.” —Blake Crouch, author of Upgrade and Dark Matter Humankind discovers intelligent life in an octopus species with its own language and culture, and sets off a high-stakes global competition to dominate the future. The transnational tech corporation DIANIMA has sealed off the remote Con Dao Archipelago, where a species of octopus has been discovered that may have developed its own language and culture. The marine biologist Dr. Ha Nguyen, who has spent her life researching cephalopod intelligence, will do anything for the chance to study them. She travels to the islands to join DIANIMA’s team: a battle-scarred securityagent and the world’s first (and possibly last) android. The octopuses hold the key to unprecedented breakthroughs in extrahuman intelligence. As Dr. Nguyen struggles to communicate with the newly discovered species, forces larger than DIANIMA close in to seize the octopuses for themselves. But no one has yet asked the octopuses what they think. Or what they might do about it. A near-future thriller, a meditation on the nature of consciousness, and an eco-logical call to arms, Ray Nayler’s dazzling literary debut The Mountain in the Sea is a mind-blowing dive into the treasure and wreckage of humankind’s legacy.

Having accidentally shot an army recruiter, Walter Beaumont, a young, troubled aristocrat, is forced to flee England and, through his mother's connections, finds himself onboard the HMS Resolution, Captain James Cook's ship of exploration to the South Seas. His only desire is to survive the imposed ordeal and to return home to England.Forced to confront his addiction to opium and the primitive conditions of seafaring in the seventeen hundreds, he is physically and mentally challenged on a daily basis, especially by the Resolution's third officer Williamson, a cruel and vindictive man, who takes pleasure in the pain of others.Walter's plight is eased by his relationship with Omai, a Tahitian navigator on board the Resolution. Drawn together the young islander takes Walter under his wing on the long journey to the South Seas. Through him, Walter hears tales and myths of the Polynesians that leave him with an appreciation of their culture including their passion for the ocean and surfing.Arriving in Tahiti Omai is disappointed by how he is treated on his return home and now looks to find a way north to Hawaii, a group of islands yet unknown to the English, where he wants to begin a new life and exercise his skill in riding the giant waves of O'ahu.Omai petitions Cook to allow him to stay on board the Resolution in exchange for the location of the Hawaii, where the ships can be restocked with fresh food and water for the perilous journey north.A fish out of water, Walter Beaumont constantly struggles with the Spartan conditions, eventually falling ill with consumption. Captain Cook, knowing that Walter will never survive the rigors of the Northern Pacific and the Bearing Straights, is forced to leave the young man behind in the newly discovered Hawaiian Islands.Left on the island of Kauai with Omai, Walter quickly recovers his health, although his hopes of returning to England are shattered by the news that Captain Cook has been killed and the Resolution has returned to England without him.

The tale of the combat between the Storm-god and the Sea that began circulating in the early second millennium BCE was one of the most well-known ancient Near Eastern myths. Its widespread dissemination in distinct versions across disparate locations and time periods - Syria, Egypt, Anatolia, Ugarit, Mesopotamia, and Israel - calls for analysis of all the textual variants in order to determine its earliest form, geo-cultural origin, and transmission history. In undertaking this task, Noga Ayali-Darshan examines works such as the Astarte Papyrus, the Pisaisa Myth, the Songs of Hedammu and Ullikummi, the Baal Cycle, Enuma elis, and pertinent biblical texts. She interprets these and other related writings philologically according to their provenance and comparatively in the light of parallel texts. The examination of this story appearing in all the ancient Near Eastern cultures also calls for a discussion of the theology, literature, and history of these societies and the way they shaped the local versions of the myth.
