Book Description
Every morning, just before sunrise, King Fabulus from Tricolour Country climbs to the highest pinnacle of his castle and raises his red, yellow and blue ringed magic wand. Then a thick beam of paint is released from its tip, bringing the colours to the people. But one day wizard Shadowraven steals the magic wand. He cannot stand bright colours and wants the whole world to look grey. Immediately, King Fabulus takes off in a hot air balloon to retrieve the wand. He soon finds out that three children from Tricoulor Country have smuggled themselves into his balloon. They want to help the King to get back the wand.

Book Description
Far, far away, at the end of the earth, there were two very different islands. One island was quite big and the other very small. The people on the islands were also different. While the people who lived on the big island were always working, the people on the small island were living in the daytime. On the big island there was a king who ruled the whole day. But on the small island there was no government. The people solved their problems together. Everything changed when a big sailing ship came to the two islands. It was commanded by a general who persuaded the king of the big island to build a new palace. Since there were soon not enough stones and earth on the big island, the king had them brought here from the small island. Finally a golden stone was washed up on the beach of the big island.

Book Description
A POWERFUL DOCUMENTATION OF INDIAN CITIZENS DEFENDING THEIR DEMOCRACY As the pillars of democracy crumble across the globe, big and small actions of resistance prop up hope and keep alive a way to rebuild. In the past few decades, ordinary folk in India have stood up to repressive state authority over and over again. Their vital acts of hope preserve the collective spirit of resistance and unwavering resilience necessary to continue the fight for democracy. Audacious Hope is a careful, rigorous archive of these struggles, including the protests that united farmers across state borders in 2020 and the national outcry following the controversial CAA legislation. From the myriad ways people came to the aid of their fellow citizens during the pandemic to the testing of free-speech boundaries by cultural activists, this book undertakes the task of documenting resistance in its many forms. Roy challenges the reader with his account of how a proud people are battling to save their beloved democracy. The question is, how can we, through individual and collective action, resist authoritarianism, casteism and majoritarianism? The answer is, of course, through the audacity of hope.

Book Description
Diaries of nineteenth-century plantation managers are rare; diaries of French sugar planters are rarer still. Although such works as the diaries of Ella Gertrude Thomas and James Henry Hammond provide insight into the plantation societies of the antebellum South, virtually no contemporary source treats planter-slave relations as extensively, or presents a white planter's views on slave society in as much detail, as do the letters and diary of Pierre Dessalles. Now Elborg Forster and Robert Forster have translated and edited the most historically and socially significant portions of this unusual work. Previously available only in a four-volume French edition, these materials treat a wide range of topics, including the slave economy, management and socialization of the labor force, the role of free blacks in society, the lives led by the plantation owners, and, significantly, black-white relations before, during, and after emancipation.
