    "CHARMIGT, FARTFYLLT OCH SÅ FINT" M-MAGASIN Aja (Dhanush) har bott hela sitt liv i Mumbai. Han uppträder på gatorna och människor tror att han har speciella magiska krafter. Efter att hans mamma dött beger han sig till Paris för att hitta sin pappa med en falsk 100-eurosedel i fickan. Första målet är den svenska möbelaffären som han drömt om att besöka sedan han var liten, där träffar han Marie som han direkt blir förälskad i. Aja upplever sedan en rad stora äventyr runt om i världen, ursprungligen i ett skåp, sedan en Louis Vuitton-resväska, en luftballong till Tripoli och en flyktingförläggning i Libyen. Längs vägen blir han vän med en sudanesisk flykting som heter Assefa (Barkhad Abdi) som han träffar i en lastbil. Det här är en underbar och komisk historia.

  • Winter 2015 Inkslinger
    THE 1511 South 1500 East Salt Lake City, UT 84105 InkslingerWinter 2015 801-484-9100 A New Year and A New Era by Betsy Burton The King’s English has much to look forward to in 2015. To begin with, after a 15-year apprenticeship, first as bookseller, then as events coordinator, and, for the past eight years as store manager, Anne Holman has become a full partner in the bookshop. Putting the partnership on paper is really only a formality, though. Over those years she’s taken enthusiastic ownership of every role she’s played at TKE. She’s demonstrated her competence in all aspects of this crazy, complex business of bookselling and has been my de facto partner in decision-making, both the tough and the creative ones, bringing her vast knowledge of bookselling and publishing (not to mention her outsized sense of humor) to bear on not only our store but our regional booksellers association, Mountains and Plains Independent Booksellers Association. Anne’s just been elected President of this group, which includes not just states in the Rockies and the South- west, but in Texas and Oklahoma as well. Her investment in TKE and in the business of books is extraordinary. We not only love and value SALE! SALE! SALE! Anne, we’re very proud of her. There are books to look forward to in the coming year as well, of course. Those you’ll read about in this issue, from the likes of Pick up gifts for all your Valentines Nick Hornby and Ali Smith to two amazing debut titles, The Secret at TKE’s Semi-annual Sale! Wisdom of the Earth and The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir Who Got Trapped in an Ikea Wardrobe.

Caesar and Sosigenes failed to calculate the correct value for the solar year as 365.242199 days, not 365.25 days. Thus, an 11-minute-a-year error added seven days by the year 1000, and 10 days by the mid-15th century. In the 1570s Pope Gregory XIII commissioned Jesuit astronomer, Christopher Clavius, to come up with a new calendar. In 1582, the Gregorian calendar was implemented, omitting 10 days for that year and establishing the new rule that only one of every four centennial years should be a leap year. Since then, people around the world have gathered on January 1 to celebrate the precise arrival of the New Year. (Adapted from www.history.com) New Year Traditions of Other Countries South Africa: Here they have eye-popping firework displays and all- night parties! Also, in Cape Town, people hold a special carnival. Groups sing and dance while wearing brightly coloured clothes and face paint. ack in 45 B.C. January 1 was first celebrated as New Year’s Day.

Ajatashatru, pronounced, the author says, as either, "A-jar-of-rat- stew-oh-gosh," or "A-jackal-that-ate-you," has more than a few tricks up his sleeve, including paying a taxi driver with a counterfeit note, a deceit that sets into motion a caper of cabbie retribution that serves as a parallel subplot and an unexpected coda. Exhausted from his trip to Paris, our fakir falls asleep in one of Ikea's stylish but affordable! The furniture is packed up and sent to England with Rathod inside, the first of several destinations in his incredible nine-day journey featuring, among other conveyances, a hot-air balloon and a Louis Vuitton trunk.
