The Novel: An Alternative History
Encyclopedic in scope and heroically audacious, The Novel: An Alternative History is the first attempt in over a century to tell the complete story of our most popular literary form. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the novel did not originate in 18th-century England, nor even with Don Quixote, but is coeval with civilization itself. After a pugnacious introduction, in which Moore defends innovative, demanding novelists against their conservative critics, the book relaxes into a world tour of the pre-modern novel, beginning in ancient Egypt and ending in 16th-century China, with many exotic ports-of-call: Greek romances; Roman satires; medieval Sanskrit novels narrated by parrots; Byzantine erotic thrillers; 5000-page Arabian adventure novels; Icelandic sagas; delicate Persian novels in verse; Japanese war stories; even Mayan graphic novels. Throughout, Moore celebrates the innovators in fiction, tracing a continuum between these pre-modern experimentalists and their postmodern progeny. Irreverent, iconoclastic, informative, entertaining-The Novel: An Alternative History is a landmark in literary criticism that will encourage readers to rethink the novel.

Reflection: Rulers And Preys
Reflection: Rulers And Preys stars a student politician Comrade Oluwatimileyin Turner, Chief Whip, a cynical, manipulative politician determined to become President. He is willing to use every secret he knows, every pressure point he can find, and every dirty trick in the book to secure his own rise to power—and in the process confirms just about every dark and terrible thing you thought you knew about politics. The author, Ajagbe Ayodeji drew on his extensive real-life experience in student politics for the book, and the result is an electrifying vision of how exceedingly violent governing can be behind closed doors.
Traditional Malay Monarchy
This remarkable book brings to an English-speaking audience detailed scholarship originally conceived and written in the Malay language and with a Malay perspective. It examines the nature of monarchy in the Malay world, which includes present-day Malaysia and Indonesia, before and during the onset of Western colonialism when the Malay world was ruled by a large number of separate Muslim sultanates. It highlights that monarchs were the highest authority in the social, political, legal and economic system, rather than the government of a clearly defined territory; the notion of Dewaraja (god-king) and what a model monarch’s attributes should be; and how the monarch’s role related to Islam...
The Noble Messengers
The Nobel Messengers is an epic journey tracing the footsteps of seventeen prophets, beginning with Adam, alayhi as-salaam, the first man and prophet on earth, and ending with Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa-sallam, the Last Messenger and Seal of the Prophets. Through their struggles and hardships, the Messengers’ exceptional qualities shine and inspire: Nuh’s abiding faith and fortitude during his marathon mission; Yusaf’s loyalty, and pristine personality; Ayyub’s unshakable faith and infinite patience, to name just a few. While dynamic illustrations sensitively portray different events from the Messengers’ illustrious lives, complementing and enhancing the narratives, the author’s comments encourage the reader to reflect on the lessons we may learn, that we may achieve success in this life and the Hereafter. Intended primarily for teenage readership, to help nurture and guide their impressionable young minds, adults will also find this book informative and enlightening, Insha’Allah.
