2. Shadows and Wind: A View of Modern Vietnam
Description
In Shadows and Wind, Robert Templer paints a fascinating and fresh picture of a country usually viewed with hazy nostalgia or deep suspicion. Here is Hanoi, an increasingly tense and troubled city approaching its millennium but uncertain of its direction. Here are people emerging from a long wilderness of malnutrition, discovering a new lifestyle of leisure and luxury. And everywhere are the anomalies that burst the bubble of optimism: a vastly expensive luxury hotel sitting empty in an unknown town six hours from an international airport; museums crammed with fake exhibits. And there remains the one-party Communist state, still wrapped in secrecy and corruption, and making for an uneasy bedfellow with the rapacious capitalism it now encourages.Drawing on hundreds of interviews in Vietnam and years of research, Robert Templer has produced the first in-depth examination of the problems facing modern Vietnam. Shadows and Wind is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the Vietnam that now has emerged from a century of conflict with both foreign powers and with itself.3.

Description
The Outer World is a desolate place with one side locked in ice and the other scorched by 6000 years of harsh daylight. Long ages ago, Tol lo cans fathers ruled this hostile world, but forgot their creator. Five hundred years ago, the Adreans came from the Inner World. They were not noble warriors as Tol lo cans fathers had been; instead they were hopeless bureaucrats. Yet they conquered the Thi Con Empire and set up their own puppet government. Twenty-five years ago, they burned Tol lo cans village and killed his wife and son. Since then, he has lived a fugitive in the very shadow of his fathers ancient enemies. With false papers, he lives and works among them, but he is not one of them. If he is careful, he could live to grow old. Out numbered 100 million to one, what other choice does he have? But now the Adreans have come again; not as conquers, but as scientists searching for the remnants of the Thi Con Race. Among them is Jerrica Sciacca, an Adrean archeologist who is long on insight but short on judgment and asks far too many questions. Will she reveal Tol lo can to his enemies or show him the secret his fathers have so carefully hidden.
