Robert Fisk Libri

Dalle voci più autorevoli della stampa internazionale, una raccolta di interventi su uno dei temi più critici dell'informazione: come fare giornalismo indipendente oggi. Dalle zone calde del pianeta - dall'Algeria alla Cecenia, dai territori palestinesi occupati all'Iraq e all'Afghanistan voci fuori da ogni schieramento raccontano un mondo che non assomiglia più alla geografia insegnata nelle scuole. Alcuni di loro scrivono in russo, altri in inglese, altri in arabo, altri in ebraico: molti sono riusciti a guadagnarsi la stima dei loro nemici e a perdere quella dei loro amici.

"Written by one of Britain's most distinguished journalists, this remarkable book is an epic account of the Lebanon conflict by an author who has personally witnessed the carnage of Beirut for twenty-six years. It is a story of western betrayal and the loss of American power and prestige in the Middle East. This book tells, too, in frightening detail, the story of the Middle East's first suicide bombers and their first devastating strike at Americans. Through a combination of war reporting and political analysis. Robert Fisk describes Lebanon's ferocious civil war and subsequent Israeli invasions, the Lebanese militias whose appalling brutality spared no one; the US Marines who found themselves trapped in the horror of Lebanon where many of them were to meet a terrible fate; and the Israelis, who tried to install their own puppet rulers, and with their 1982 invasion provoked war crimes of their own. Fully updated to include the Israeli withdrawal from south Lebanon and Ariel Sharon's electoral victory, this American edition has sixty pages of new material and a revised preface."--BOOK JACKET.

Presents an account of 50 years of bloodshed and tragedy in the Middle East.

A passionate meditation on contemporary Arab identity.

A young woman awakens on a beach by a shipwreck in a strange, unfamiliar world. Her past is an enigma. She takes the name Lowenna, after a voice (in her mind?) shouts it out, not knowing the name will force her onto a path of mystery and danger. Nor does she realize that almost everyone will hate or fear her, because of the name. When a dark mage attacks the city of Penbirth, many are killed and children are taken. Despite the discrimination she faces in the city, Lowenna volunteers to rescue the children. With the friends she makes on her journey, Lowenna hunts down the mage and his minions. Discover the power of her lost race, as she fights for the children, for her friends, and for her life. Be there as she explores her skills and instincts as a warrior using her forgotten powerful magic all while searching for answers about her lost past. She is Lowenna. The last of her kind.
