Produktbeschreibung
Bangladesh: the color, the imagery, the bustling vibrancy of a crowded, argumentative, richly drawn society. The characters and the situations from the talented pen of Fakiha Huq spring to life in the pages of this collection of vignettes, many of which originally appeared in leading Bangladeshi publications. We meet a fascinating, exotic range of characters; wealthy industrialists, poor beggars and prostitutes with hardly a rag to their name, and society ladies driving the latest cars. We feel that Fakiha Huq has indeed taken us aboard a magic carpet, and when we look at a world atlas and find the distant land of Bangladesh, now, while still far away, it is a country and a way of life of which we know much more. Fakiha Huq is a well known writer of Bangladesh. She used to write both in Bangla and English in almost every Bangladeshi daily paper, magazine and journal. Some of her articles were published in New Vision of Uganda, Jamamat and London, UK, and in Bharat Bichita, a periodical published by the High Commission of Bangladesh. Well read and widely travelled, Fakiha Huq is the principal of Heaven Bridge Preparatory School, Dhaka and former principal of Libyan Bangladeshi School, Al-Beida, Libya.
