Omar Musa

A compendium of fascinating and evocative new writing on railway travel and history. Telling of little known journeys and uncovered histories on railway routes around the world - from the UK, Europe and Africa to North America, the Middle East and Asia. From Myanmar's highlands to the British Pennines, from slow travel between coffee plantations in Borneo to a cross-continent odyssey on African railways, from the pioneers of the American West to European trains in war, this is a new prism through which to explore human lives, and global landscapes, politics and history. The Untold Railway Stories is a testament to both the joy and impact of train travel - to the ambition and ingenuity, and also to destruction and sacrifice within its history - and is published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of first passenger railway line.

'An impressive, urgent novel by a talented and courageous writer' Mohsin Hamid How do you mourn a person you loved who did terrible things? After many years abroad, Harun and Roz return to Malaysian Borneo for the funeral of their oil-baron father, Yusuf - and to reckon with their inheritance. Yusef, might be a celebrity to many, but his children know that not only has he built the family's immense wealth by destroying huge tracts of rainforest, but also that he was also involved in the violent disappearance of a man who stood in his way. Harun is successful tech entrepreneur in Los Angeles while Roz is an artist struggling to stay afloat in Sydney, and both are determined to return something their father stole from the forests of their homeland. In their quest for redemption they grapple with the legacy of power and corruption and are haunted - by the ghosts of colonialism, the ghosts of family, the ghosts of language, and the ghosts of the forest itself. A trailblazing journey across the globe, Fierceland is a language-bending story that weaves the past and the present into an emotionally powerful family saga that plays out at a mythical scale. 'The forest may be disappearing, but in Musa's words it still grows: fierce, alive, untameable' Guardian Australia

Tauchen Sie ein in die mythischen Tiefen des alten gyptens, wo G tter und Menschen in einem ewigen Tanz von Macht, Verrat und Suche nach Gerechtigkeit verstrickt sind.

Von den windgepeitschten W sten bis zu den verborgenen Kammern der Macht erkunden Sie die unsterbliche Bindung zwischen den G ttern, die tiefen Lektionen der Spiritualit t und die unausweichliche Konfrontation zwischen Gut und B se.

In KILLERNOVA Omar Musa remixes this ancient art form with fiery poetry forged in the stars. Relentlessly on beat, visually captivating and deceptively intimate, this is a collection of words and art that burns blindingly bright.

A collection of love poems and fierce raps, Millefiori is Omar Musa's third book of poetry. Both dream-like and gritty, it also includes gorgeous illustrations and draft poems from Musa's notebook. Heartbreak, cocaine, colonial violence, memory, and cave paintings: this is a world full of unbearable beauty and brutality. We know the world is a horror story, but it's also got love notes in the margins
