Michener suffered a serious heart attack in 1964, but his recovery was excellent and he continued writing. But basically this is an absorbing little tale of hubris, courage and redemption (Lutton, humbled by the tragedy, goes on to help Lloyd George rearm England just before WW I), as the dazed adventurers meet Canadian hucksters and friendly Indians, and cope with frozen rivers, mosquitoes, scurvy, dwindling food. ![]() Accompanying the four well-bred Englishmen on the journey is a shrewd Irish poacher who acts as the ``servant.'' Besides exploring class tensions, Michener offers insight into how the British viewed their two former colonies-America and Canada-at the turn of the century. Totally dissimilar is the party's poet, frail, sensitive Trevor Blythe. The group's leader, Lord Evelyn Luton, is an arrogant ass whose colossal stubbornness costs the lives of three of the five men. In straightforward, unadorned prose, Michener spins an old-fashioned historical adventure as he follows a British expedition's doomed trek across Canada to the Klondike gold fields in 1897-1899. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Discover the English Audiobook at Audible.

The series will be executive produced by Wiip's Paul Lee, Kapur, and XPat Productions' Naz Haider. We look forward to creating a globally relevant series together that will appeal to audiences across geographies, languages and cultures," Kapur said. Jeremy's expertise in crafting intricate character-driven narratives that are deeply rooted in history and setting them against a huge canvas, makes him the perfect collaborator for this project. "We are delighted to announce that we have brought on board the acclaimed BAFTA award-winning screenwriter Jeremy Brock, to adapt William Dalrymple's global bestseller 'The Anarchy' into a premium series. Published in 2019, the book was one of The Wall Street Journal's Best Books of the Year. The book tells the remarkable story of how one of the world's most magnificent empires, the Mughal empire, disintegrated and came to be replaced by the British East India Company - a dangerously unregulated private company based thousands of miles away in a small London office just five windows wide. It will be produced across the US, UK and India, a press release stated. ![]() "The Anarchy" will be mounted as an international co-production between Wiip and Roy Kapur Films. ![]() ![]() ![]() Describing the circumstances of his fatwa, Rushdie appeals to the second audience which an overarching framework of how speech promotes a richer private and public life. One way in which Rushdie hooks his second, presumably older, audience is by explaining the importance of speech and storytelling in a profound philosophical context. Rushdie’s references to King Lear, Plato, and The Beatles demonstrate this dichotomy, resulting in a work which aims to please a child’s sense of wild creativity, yet also attracting more experienced readers familiar to complicated topics. Although the tale resonates with younger audiences and portrays a sense of magical realism, the allegory also makes several allusions to works only familiar to older audiences. In an effort to reconnect and entertain his son, Rushdie wrote an entertaining story for children: Haroun and the Sea of Stories. As a result, the English government put Rushdie in hiding and he was forced to be separated from his young son, Zafar. After he published The Satanic Verses, a novel about Pagan Meccan goddesses which insulted many Muslims, former Iranian Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa ordering the death of Rushdie. This narrative was a consequence of Rushdie’s many years in hiding. Salman Rushdie’s Haroun and the Sea of Stories tells a fictional tale of a young protagonist named Haroun who travels to the Sea of Stories to help his father gain back his skill of storytelling. ![]() Haroun and the Sea of Stories: An Allegory for all Readers ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Fearful of losing Ojosan to K., whom he considers his superior as a rival, Sensei sadistically takes the opportunity to quote K.'s own words from their argument in the summer against him as an accusation of being irresolute and hypocritical. is torn between his strict Buddhist idealism and his love. brings up the matter again and speaks of his emotional anguish as Sensei intuits, K.
