Who are we Indians? Where did we come from? To tell us the story of our ancestry, journalist Tony Joseph goes 65,000 years into the past–when a band of Homo sapiens first made their way from Africa into the Indian subcontinent.

This is a reporter’s chronicle spanning three generations, backed by firsthand accounts of luminaries, peppered with numerous anecdotes and a passionate examination of his own beliefs. It is as scathing in its takedown of bigotry as it is lucid in charting a blow-by-blow account of our recent past. It is a tribute to the making of India and its founders as well as the affirmation of the will of the Indians to place the power in the hands of the people.

When Bhagat Singh was executed by the British after a sham trial for his involvement in the Lahore Conspiracy Case at the age of 23, he was glorified by the Indians as a martyr for his youth, his defiance and his reckless bravery. It was only many years later, after Independence in 1947, that his writings came to light. Today, it is these that set Bhagat Singh apart and reveal him as not just a hot-headed revolutionary who believed in the cult of the bomb but a widely-read intellectual inspired by the writings of Marx and Lenin.

Аудиокнига британского историка Роджера Кроули — это яркое повествование о непримиримой борьбе за контроль над торговлей пряностями в XVI веке. Автор увлекательно рассказывает о том, как амбиции португальских и испанских мореплавателей, в частности Васко да Гамы и Магеллана, а также местных правителей, привели к масштабным столкновениям между главными морскими державами и геополитическим сдвигам. Основная идея книги заключается в том, что именно битва за пряности, казалось бы, не самый важный товар, послужила катализатором становления современной мировой экономической и политической системы.
