Hidup akan terasa berbeda setelah tertimpa bencana. Apalagi jika tidak ingin hidup sedari awal. Tapi itulah yang dirasakan Arya. Tidak seberuntung ratusan mayat yang mati tenggelam, Arya adalah salah satu korban selamat bencana tsunami yang melanda pantai tempat tinggalnya. Selangkah demi selangkah, Arya berusaha meninggalkan masa lalu di balik punggungnya untuk hidup sebatang kara di dunia -- walau terkadang darah muda kerap membuat keraguan dan rasa cemas bagi dirinya sendiri. Tiga tahun telah berlalu, tapi tiba-tiba tsunami berdatangan kembali melanda pesisir tanah air. Dengan bantuan kekuatan magis yang dia temukan, Arya dan kawan-kawan berusaha menhentikan bencana sebelum menenggelamkan lebih banyak korban. Namun, saat Arya mendapatkan kuasa dan dukungan yang dia butuhkan, bala bantuan untuknya malah menggoreskan tanda tanya besar dalam benaknya: Apakah Arya ingin menghentikan bencana?
"Once celebrated in the Western media as a shining example of a 'liberal' and 'tolerant' Islam, Indonesia since the end of the Soeharto regime (May 1998) has witnessed a variety of developments that bespeak a conservative turn in the country's Muslim politics.

Sufism in Central Asia: New Perspectives on Sufi Traditions, 15th-21st Centuries brings together ten original studies on historical aspects of Sufism in this region. A central question, of ongoing significance, underlies each contribution: what is the relationship between Sufism as it was manifested in this region prior to the Russian conquest and the Soviet era, on the one hand, and the features of Islamic religious life in the region during the Tsarist, Soviet, and post-Soviet eras on the other? The authors address multiple aspects of Central Asian religious life rooted in Sufism, examining interpretative strategies, realignments in Sufi communities and sources from the Russian to the post-Soviet period, and social, political and economic perspectives on Sufi communities. Contributors include: Shahzad Bashir, Devin DeWeese, Allen Frank, Jo-Ann Gross, Kawahara Yayoi, Robert McChesney, Ashirbek Muminov, Maria Subtelny, Eren Tasar, and Waleed Ziad.
"Joseph Conrad is not only recognized as one of the world's great writers of English - and world - literature, but as a writer who lived a fascinating, unusually full and adventurous life. But Conrad's life presents the biographer with uncommon difficulty because, whether due to his itinerancy as a young man, the destruction of documentary evidence in the turmoil of the twentieth century, or the discreetness and relative isolation Conrad cultivated in his years as a writer, there are many periods for which documentation is difficult." "Zdzislaw Najder's meticulously documented biography first appeared in English in 1983, a product of twenty five years of painstaking study, and received great...
ÒIÕm happy to have been a part of history, however small my role was.Ó The words of Wardiman Djojonegoro reveal Indonesian history the way only a man who worked alongside Ali Sadikin, B. J. Habibie and Soeharto can. The modest 85-year-old, a former education minister and current foundation chairman at the Habibie Center, recalls the younger days of a Òbig villageÓ Jakarta and says it was the countryÕs third president who taught him the keys to national development. This is what Peter Zack, a reporter for the Jakarta Globe, wrote on 18 April 2009. In the present English translation of his 2014 memoir, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Reminiscences of Working with Three Great Indones...
