Description:
Paris, France: Assouline, 2002. Book. Illus. by Illustrated. New. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Paris: Assouline, 2002. First edition. 8vo. Hard cover binding, 79 pp. Gandhara is a historic region in what was the northwest of ancient India, currently Pakistan and Afghanistan, that flourished in the first centuries A.D. with a hybrid of Greek and Buddhist Indian culture. The Gandhara school incorporated motifs and techniques from classical Western art while remaining Indian at its core. It includes the earliest examples of Buddha in human form, often with features resembling the Greek god Apollo. Magnificently sculpted statuary and friezes, many only fragments, are shown here, as well as the colossal Buddhas of Bamiya-enormous figures sculpted into a cliff face-that were recently dynamited by Afghanistan's Taliban regime. Each volume in this series of slim and handsome monographs uses full- and double-page photographs, undiluted with captions, to reveal a…

Washington, DC, U.S.A.: Counterpoint Press, 1999. Book. New. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Washington: Counterpoint, 1999. First edition. Hardcover binding. The New York Times Book Review : "As the authors of this brilliant history point out, the Great Game was a dry run for the cold war, avoiding outright conflict but marked by the same search for influence and the same displays of bravery and cussedness, though whether the story of the cold war will ever seem as exciting as this, I doubt. Tournament of Shadows is much more than a magesterial work of scholarship: it is an absorbing inquiry into men and motives that is one part le Carre, one part Indiana Jones. . . .

Description:
Saint Paul, Minnesota, U.S.A.: Ruminator Books, 2003. Book. New. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition. Cloth binding, 169 pp. French artist, filmmaker, and writer Isabelle Delloye lived in Afghanistan as a teacher from 1974-78 and fell in love with the country and its people. She has returned several times since, even during the height of the Taliban regime, befriending and interviewing hundreds of women from a variety of castes and tribes and gaining admittance to a world rarely glimpsed by Westerners. Here she records two decades of the women's political perspectives and personal experiences, including those of Nour Khanom, a rural child bride who lived a life of hard labor and was treated no better than a pack animal, and of Chekeba, who escaped her home amidst Soviet bombs and returned years later to build a school for girls in the Panshir Valley. It is a compassionate glimpse into the highs and lows of daily life in a nation where threats of…
