Traditional fairytales are full of cliché and gender stereotypes. The silent Rapunzel, the beautiful sweet princesses, ugly, jealous and bitter women, girls that need rescuing, men who take the glory and their new brides being forever grateful and subservient.

Nikita Gill's new prose and poetry collection rewrites the fairytale classics and reworks their old-fashioned tropes into new empowering and inspirational stories.

With a poet's insight into the landscape of the soul, he offers a deeply moving exploration of how we experience love and loss, and how with resilience and time we can rise again each time we are broken.

A long poem in Kerouac’s freewheeling and spontaneous improvisational style, Mexico City Blues is a unique epic of sound, rhythm, and religion.

A family cohabits with a horse; three riots are tucked up safely in their beds; a tumbleweed takes up a career in comedy; the giant flag crossing a football crowd has a strange effect on those underneath; a rampaging fifty-foot poem brings terror to a city… As always in Paul Farley’s work, the quotidian and the cosmic are braided together in surprising, funny, or disconcerting ways. And as always, his poems inhabit and explore intermediate, uncertain spaces, a fertile terrain found between the obscurity of the cave and the light of knowledge linked to power.

تقدّم الكونتيسة دي سيجورفي هذا الكتاب مذكرات فلسفيّة وأخلاقيّة على لسان حمار، وقد قام بترجمته إلى العربيّة حسين الجمل.

في الكتاب محاولةٌ لتغيير النظرة إلى الحمار ونشاطه الذهني، فقد قُلبت الموازين، وصار الحمار كائنًا ناطقًا، يشغله همٌّ واحد ألا وهو الوصول إلى درجة الإحترام في نظر الإنسان، ونفي صفة الغباء والكسل عنه.

تقوم فكرة الكتاب على إفتراض أن الحمار يستطيع النطق، فماذا سوف يقدّم كي ينال تقدير الإنسان، بل إنه يتعدّاه إلى امتلاكه الناحية الفلسفيّة في طرح أفكاره، حيث يقدم حلولًا واقتراحاتٍ لمشاكل البشر وقضاياهم، وإيجاد السّبل المنطقيّة في التصرّفات والسلوكيّات التي يقدمها.
