eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

The theft of a holy relic sets off a deadly plot to reclaim it in this globe-trotting adventure by the author of the Fu-Manchu novels. Returning to England aboard the S.S. Mandalay, a journalist named Cavanagh is struck by an unsettling occurrence at Port Said, Egypt. A wounded beggar is brought aboard—his hand having been cut off—as he carried a professor’s luggage. This brutal episode is only Cavanagh’s first encounter with a merciless network devoted to protecting an ancient Islamic relic: a slipper once worn by the prophet Mohammed. According to their devout principles, only an anointed few should even touch the slipper or its container. Now, as it makes its way to a British museum, it imperils all those who come in contact with it. But they are not the only ones who want the stolen artifact. Chasing the irresistible story, Cavanagh soon finds himself caught between a murderous cult and a slick American thief in what could be the adventure of his life, if he manages to survive.

Journeys Of Soviet Things

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

At the intersection of cultural history, material culture studies, memory studies and feminist geopolitics, Journeys of Soviet Things is an oral history of socialist globalisation constructed around the journeys of Cold War era Soviet objects in India and Cuba. During the Cold War, an important means to perpetuate Soviet ideals of modernisation and anti-imperialist solidarity across the world was the circulation of ‘banal’ objects, produced in the Soviet Union and purchased, awarded, and gifted for use in homes across the world. Based on oral accounts of Indian and Cuban interlocutors, this book examines the itineraries of Soviet objects such as cars, washing machines, cameras, books, nesting dolls, porcelain, and many other things. Explored this way, the Cold War is a matter of personal, affective, everyday experience. At the same time, by indicating the cohabitation of things in their home from around the world, interlocutors also go on to undercut simple geopolitical binaries that pit Soviet against American techno-politics. Accounts of Soviet objects in India and Cuba reveal a bricolage of preferences that crisscrossed ideological dualities of East vs West, communist vs capitalist, making for an alternative cosmopolitanism that was in equal measure shaped by personal, local, and national histories and experiences. This book will appeal to readers interested in Cold War history, the history of transnational solidarities, and Soviet material culture.
