Do you speak Aragreelish?
A tycoon from Saudi Arabia, a man in the body of a boy with ambitions only he can understand – an eagle flying towards an endless horizon and watching the world from above – is in search of a blurry vision of a dream he cannot define.
An architect born in Lebanon from a French father and Brazilian mother, a boy in the body of a man, wise like an old owl but with no dreams, lost between the different cultures, with no country nor specific dream.
The two men meet and stay together for years. They consider themselves the pieces of a two-piece puzzle that can never be joined. Traditions keep them apart.
In a mysterious relationship, the Saudi Sheikh cleverly uses the ethics of the architect in an attempt to keep the other beside him forever. The journey they have together evolves around the world, leads to adventures full of love, passion and fear, and reveals the strange personalities of the heroes.

Dolly Dudman - A Lady of Quality
Ida Grace Nina Dudman – known as Dolly to her family – was born when Queen Victoria was the Empress of India on 18th December 1897 and died on Easter Sunday 1983. She was brought up like a little princess but suffered much tragedy and upheaval in her life – two world wars, the Indian independence struggle, partition and most of all her long separation from her great love although they did manage to be reunited after seventeen years apart.
Despite marrying a Muslim, she remained true to her upbringing and culture unlike many who completely lost their identity after marrying out of their own community.
She has no memorial, no gravestone, nothing. But this book is – hopefully – the assurance that she will never be forgotten.

Don't Expect a Standing Ovation
How shall I lead my life? What will bring me happiness (and can I possibly know this in advance)? Where do my ethical values, feelings and opinions come from? How do I know if I really understand something, or are my judgements always just opinions? Should I be optimistic or pessimistic about ‘human nature’ – including my own, of course? Finally, are there any ‘objective’ answers to all of this or is any answer always as good as any other?
If such questions seem important to you personally, then this book is written for you. Its focus is precisely on methods for understanding better the nature of our experience, behaving more ethically and with greater emotional awareness.
Don’t Expect a Standing Ovation is a reworking in contemporary terms of an ancient Buddhist teaching on meditation, but it is intended for readers of any ‘faith’ (or none), i.e., for anyone who is open to meditation as a possibly helpful practical response to the sense of unease arising from the questions listed above. Buddhist teachings are, therefore, introduced not as a ‘religion’ but as a combination of psychological, ethical and philosophical ideas that are nevertheless in themselves not unfamiliar.
The teaching consists of fifty-nine slogans or maxims, which taken together form a practical handbook of guidance in responding skilfully (and indeed, therefore, ‘wisely’) in our everyday interactions with others.
