Story
Colour unlocks the history of the colours of the rainbow, and reveals how paints came to be invented, discovered, traded and used. This remarkable and beautifully written book, part travelogue part narrative history, remembers a time when red paint was really the colour of blood, when orange was the poison pigment, blue as expensive as gold and yellow made from the urine of cows force-fed with mangoes. It looks at how green was carried by yaks along the silk road, and how an entire nation was founded on the colour purple.

Story
When journalist Taran Khan arrives in Kabul, she uncovers a place that defies her expectations. Her wanderings with other Kabulis reveal a fragile city in a state of flux: stricken by near-constant war, but flickering with the promise of peace; governed by age-old codes, but experimenting with new modes of living. Her walks take her to the unvisited tombs of the dead, and to the land of the living - like the booksellers, archaeologists, filmmakers and entrepreneurs who are remaking this 3,000-year-old city.

Story
À l'été 1953, un jeune homme de 24 ans, fils de bonne famille calviniste, quitte Genève et son université, où il suit des cours de sanscrit, d'histoire médiévale puis de droit, à bord de sa Fiat Topolino. Nicolas Bouvier a déjà effectué de courts voyages ou des séjours plus longs en Bourgogne, en Finlande, en Algérie, en Espagne, puis en Yougoslavie, via l'Italie et la Grèce. Cette fois, il vise plus loin : la Turquie, l'Iran, Kaboul puis la frontière avec l'Inde. Il est accompagné de son ami Thierry Vernet, qui documentera l'expédition en dessins et croquis.

Story
Nur wenige Monate nachdem in Afghanistan eine über 25-jährige Kriegsgeschichte zu Ende ging, begleitet Roger Willemsen 2006 eine afghanische Freundin auf ihrem Weg in die Heimat: von Kabul nach Kunduz und durch die Steppe zum legendenumwobenen Oxus, dem Grenzfluss zu Tadschikistan – die abenteuerliche Reise durch ein erwachendes Land. Am Ende ist Roger Willemsens Buch weit mehr als der persönliche Bericht von einer faszinierenden Reise, sondern eine literarische Betrachtung der Grundlagen allen Reisens.
