In 1914, Jon and Rumer Godden were very little girls, living a drearily straightlaced existence in the London home of their unmarried Godden aunts. Then the threat of the zeppelins abruptly terminated their London year; and they returned to Fa and Mam and the rest of the family in the village of Narayangunj in East Bengal, where Fa was a steamer agent. They now recall the childhood years spent there not as an exercise in autobiography but one of evocation of a time that is gone, for them and there was an Eurasian Nana replaced by the staid Hannah in the nursery; there were many servants presided over by the imperturbable Azad Ali; there was the gatekeeper, Guru, who shared in their games until a tragic love affair that ended in murder darkened their lives. There was the bazaar, and the river; Diwali with its lights and Christmas with its ceremonials of giving and receiving. There were ponies, dutifully mounted daily, and elephants, private games of make-believe, and later painting and writing. And finally, as the sisters emerged on the eruptive terrain of adolescence, there were great romantic loves which engendered jealousy and rage. This was still a "singularly happy time" which ended with their return to England and a prosaic schoolgirl world. The Goddens have a devotee following to which this memoir, as evanescent and enduring as every childhood, will appeal. It is a special book, especially suited to midsummer reading, and it has this designation for its selection by the Book-of-the-Month Club. It will also have a dual publisher as well as author credit - Knopf and Viking are publishing it jointly with Viking distributing the book.?? (Kirkus Reviews)

In this classic scripture of Tibetan Buddhism--traditionally read aloud to the dying to help them attain liberation--death and rebirth are seen as a process that provides an opportunity to recognize the true nature of mind. This translation of "The Tibetan Book of the Dead " emphasizes the practical advice that the book offers to the living. The insightful commentary by ChOgyam Trungpa, written in clear, concise language, explains what the text teaches us about human psychology. This book will be of interest to people concerned with death and dying, as well as those who seek greater spiritual understanding in everyday life.
Chogyam Trungpa,
