The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the #1 New York Times bestselling classic, now with a note by author Thomas Harris revealing his inspiration for Hannibal Lecter.

Her assignment: to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist and grisly killer now kept under close watch in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Lecter's insight into the minds of murderers could help track and capture Buffalo Bill. Smart and attractive, Starling is shaken to find herself in a strange, intense relationship with the acutely perceptive Lecter. His cryptic clues—about Buffalo Bill and about her—launch Clarice on a search that every reader will find startling, harrowing, and totally compelling.

The Files of Kashmiri Shias
Author: Ruhool Ahmad Kawa
Publisher: Ruhool Ahmad Kawa
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
The book highlights the challenges faced by the Shia community in Kashmir and other parts of the world, and calls for greater awareness, understanding, and action to address these issues. The book begins by providing an overview of the Shia community in Kashmir, which represents a significant minority within the predominantly Sunni Muslim region. Despite their numerical minority, Shias have played an important role in the cultural, social, and political fabric of Kashmir for centuries. However, the community has also faced significant challenges, including discrimination, marginalization, and violence, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflict in the region.The author then delves into the specific challenges faced by the Shia community in Kashmir. These include issues related to political representation, economic development, and social exclusion. The author describes how the government and society have largely ignored the concerns of the Shia community, leaving them vulnerable to discrimination andviolence.One of the most significant examplescited in the book is the 2019 rape case, in which a Shia girl was allegedly raped by a man. The perpetrator was supported by his community,which led to tensions and violence in the region.The book argues that such incidents highlight the vulnerability of the Shia community and the urgent need for greater protection and support.The book also discusses the potential consequences of Kashmir falling under Pakistani control or becoming liberated. In either case, the author argues that the situation for the Shia community could become even more precarious, with the potential for violence and discrimination to increase. The book emphasizes the need for government and society to work together to address these issues and ensure that the community's rights are protected.Finally, the book discusses the situation of Shia Muslims in other countries, such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia. The author describes the discrimination and persecution that Shias often face in these countries, including violence, harassment, and exclusion from political and economic power. The book argues that the challenges faced by the Shia community in Kashmir are not unique, and that there is a broader pattern of discrimination and marginalization that needs to be addressed.Overall, the book provides a detailed analysis of the challenges faced by the Shia community in Kashmir and other parts of the world. It highlights the need for greater awareness, understanding, and action to address these issues, and emphasizes the importance of protecting the rights of vulnerable communities

Into the Silence
Author: Wade Davis
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307700569
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 596
Book Description
The definitive story of the British adventurers who survived the trenches of World War I and went on to risk their lives climbing Mount Everest. On June 6, 1924, two men set out from a camp perched at 23,000 feet on an ice ledge just below the lip of Everest’s North Col. George Mallory, thirty-seven, was Britain’s finest climber. Sandy Irvine was a twenty-two-year-old Oxford scholar with little previous mountaineering experience. Neither of them returned. Drawing on more than a decade of prodigious research, bestselling author and explorer Wade Davis vividly re-creates the heroic efforts of Mallory and his fellow climbers, setting their significant achievements in sweeping historical context: from Britain’s nineteen-century imperial ambitions to the war that shaped Mallory’s generation. Theirs was a country broken, and the Everest expeditions emerged as a powerful symbol of national redemption and hope. In Davis’s rich exploration, he creates a timeless portrait of these remarkable men and their extraordinary times.

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Faced with the challenges of transitioning from a Hard of Hearing School to a Hearing high school, Maya has more than a learning curve. But what if she has more to learn about herself and how far she is willing to push for what she believes in? Perfect for contemporary fiction fans, The Silence Between Us is a novel that doesn’t shy away from the real-life struggles of high school, heart break, and d/Deaf culture. Schneider Family Book Award, Best Teen Honor Book 2020 Torn from her Hard of Hearing school when her mother's job takes them across the country, Deaf teen Maya must attend a hearing school for the first time since her hearing loss. As if that wasn’t hard enough, she also has to adjust to the hearing culture, which she finds frustrating. When her new friends and classmates start pushing into Maya’s thoughts about what it means to be Deaf, it clashes with her idea of self-worth and values. Looking past graduation towards a future medical career, Maya knows nothing, not even an unexpected romance, will derail her pursuits or cause her to question her integrity. Wattpad sensation Alison Gervais writes a stunning portrayal of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing culture in this clean YA contemporary romance. Drawing from her own deaf experience and relationship with the HoH community, Gervais provides a personal interview and commentary on cochlear implants. The Silence Between Us mixes lighthearted romance with deeper social issues facing minority groups. “The Silence Between Us?is eminently un-put-down-able.” (NPR) “Gervais deftly renders both the nuanced, everyday realities of life with disability and Maya’s fierce pride in her Deafness, delivering a vibrant story that will resonate with Deaf and hearing audiences alike.” –?Booklist “A solid addition to middle/high school fiction that allows for deep discussion about stereotypes concerning disabilities.”?School Library Journal “This is a great YA contemporary (clean) romance that follows Maya as she navigates a new school and plans for her future. The addition of representation by a Deaf character was really beautifully done. Highly recommend for people looking for a sweet, engaging, and educational romantic read.” (YA and Kids Book Central)
