Marito is a young Peruvian who toils away at his local radio station, dreaming of becoming a writer, before his life is torn apart by two arrivals.

The second is Pedro Camacho, an eccentric scriptwriter whose radio dramas are keeping the whole city enthralled.

Auntie Poldi can think of no finer place to wait for death than Sicily. All she asks is a sea view, fine wine (and plenty of it), & her family close around. When death instead takes her handsome young friend Valentino
- & under mysterious circumstances at that
- Poldi will not take it lying down. Perhaps it`s in her blood (her father was a detective chief inspector); perhaps it`s a diverting excuse to spend more time with men in uniform; or perhaps it`s just the promise she makes to Valentino while holding his poor dead h&. But Auntie Poldi`s hunting instincts have never felt more alive. Justice must be served
- if it`s the last thing she does.. .

The British Broadcasting Corporation is a British institution unlike any other, & its story during the Second World War is also our story. This was Britain`s first total war, engaging the whole nation, & the wireless played a crucial role in it. For the first time, news of the conflict reached every living room
- sometimes almost as it happened; & at key moments
- Chamberlain`s announcement of war, the Blitz, the D-Day landings
- the BBC was there, defining how these events would pass into our collective memory. Auntie`s War is a love letter to radio. While these were the years when ` Auntie`
- the BBC`s enduring nickname
- earnt her reputation for bossiness, they were also a period of truly remarkable voices: Churchill`s fighting speeches, de Gaulle`s broadcasts from exile, J. B. Priestley, Ed Murrow, George Orwell, Richard Dimbleby & Vera Lynn. Radio offered an incomparable tool for propaganda; it was how coded messages, both political & personal, were sent across Europe, & it was a means of sending less than truthful information to the enemy. At the same time, eyewitness testimonies gave a voice to everyone, securing the BBC`s reputation as reliable purveyor of the truth. Edward Stourton is a sharp-eyed, wry & affectionate companion on the BBC`s wartime journey, investigating archives, diaries, letters & memoirs to examine what the BBC was & what it stood for. Full of astonishing, little-known incidents, battles with Whitehall warriors & Churchill himself, & with a cast of brilliant characters, Auntie`s War is much more than a portrait of a beloved institution at a critical time. It is also a unique portrayal of the British in wartime & an incomparable insight into why we have the broadcast culture we do today.

The Mughal emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir is one of the most hated men in Indian history. Widely reviled as a religious fanatic who sought to violently oppress Hindus, he is even blamed by some for setting into motion conflicts that would result in the creation of a separate Muslim state in South Asia. In her lively overview of his life & influence, Audrey Truschke offers a clear-eyed perspective on the public debate over Aurangzeb & makes the case for why his often-maligned legacy deserves to be reassessed. Aurangzeb was arguably the most powerful & wealthiest ruler of his day. His nearly 50-year reign (1658-1707) had a profound influence on the political landscape of early modern India, & his legacy-real & imagined-continues to loom large in India & Pakistan today. Truschke evaluates Aurangzeb not by modern standards but according to the traditions & values of his own time, painting a picture of Aurangzeb as a complex figure whose relationship to Islam was dynamic, strategic, & sometimes contradictory. This book invites students of South Asian history & religion into the world of the Mughal Empire, framing the contemporary debate on Aurangzeb`s impact & legacy in accessible & engaging terms. ...
