På få år er Dubai gået fra at være en søvnig handelsby til at blive et verdenskendt ikon med bombastiske bygningsværker og enorme sportssponsorater. Men hvordan blev det egentlig muligt?I dag er Dubai blevet synonym med luksus, sol og futuristiske skyskrabere. 16 millioner turister besøger hvert år byen, og tusinder af mennesker flytter årligt til emiratet i deres søgen efter sol, penge og eventyr. De fleste vestlige tilflyttere forventer sig det søde liv i omhegnede villaområder med tre biler i garagen og mindst lige så mange tjenestefolk. Men hvordan er livet egentlig bag bygningernes skinnende facade?For succesen har også skyggesider: Dubai har fået en identitetsløs forbrugerkultur, et løssluppent natteliv og en stor underklasse af arbejdere, som knokler løs for at holde byens hjul i gang.Dubai bag facaden fortæller historien om, hvordan den lille by ved flodmundingen i den arabiske ørken har udviklet sig til at blive en multikulturel, rig verdensby. Gennem en række humoristiske, personlige fortællinger tages læseren samtidig med bag facaden af den berømte og berygtede bystat.Denne bog er den første, som går bag om succesen og fortæller om livet i Dubai set fra et dansk perspektiv.

Slumdog Millionaire - but for real!

The acclaimed travel writer's youthful journey - as an 18-year-old - across 1930s Europe by foot began in A Time of Gifts, which covered the author's exacting journey from the Lowlands as far as Hungary. Picking up from the very spot on a bridge across the Danube where his readers last saw him, we travel on with him across the great Hungarian Plain on horseback, and over the Romanian border to Transylvania.The trip was an exploration of a continent which was already showing signs of the holocaust which was to come. Although frequently praised for his lyrical writing, Fermor's account also provides a coherent understanding of the dramatic events then unfolding in Middle Europe. But the delight remains in travelling with him in his picaresque journey past remote castles, mountain villages, monasteries and towering ranges.

My Family and Other Animals is the bewitching account of a rare and magical childhood on the island of Corfu by treasured British conservationist Gerald Durrell. It is also the first book in Durrell's Corfu Trilogy, which inspired ITV's television series The Durrells. Escaping the ills of the British climate, the Durrell family - acne-ridden Margo, gun-toting Leslie, bookworm Lawrence and budding naturalist Gerry, along with their long-suffering mother and Roger the dog - take off for the island of Corfu.But the Durrells find that, reluctantly, they must share their various villas with a menagerie of local fauna - among them scorpions, geckos, toads, bats and butterflies.Recounted with immense humour and charm My Family and Other Animals is a wonderful account of a rare, magical childhood.'Durrell has an uncanny knack of discovering human as well as animal eccentricities' Sunday Telegraph'A bewitching book' Sunday Times

Istanbul is a shimmering evocation, by turns intimate and panoramic, of one of the world's great cities, by its foremost writer. Orhan Pamuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in 2006, was born in Istanbul, in the family apartment building where his mother first held him in her arms. His portrait of his city is thus also a self-portrait, refracted by memory and the melancholy-or h,z,n- that all Istanbullus share: the sadness that comes of living amid the ruins of a lost Ottoman Empire. As he companionably guides us across the Bosphorus, through Istanbul's historical monuments and lost paradises, its dilapidated Ottoman villas, back streets and waterways, he also introduces us to the city's writers, artists and murderers. Like the Dublin of Joyce and Jan Morris' Venice, Pamuk's Istanbul is a triumphant encounter of place and sensibility, beautifully written and immensely moving.

This remains the only dedicated guide to this island paradise.
