"Rana Bose's Shaf and the Remington is a stunning accomplishment. ... Bose masterfully incorporates history, politics, philosophy, and physics into this gripping novel, transporting the reader to a place where time and space seem to bend and refract. Shaf and the Remington is an allegory of human nature, asking us to question the essence and roots of war and ideology." Val Rwigema, Montreal Review of Books "The characters are so full of life, distinct and engaging. The structure is perfect. I loved the artful ending. All is tied up but in a light, electric way. Nothing is heavy-handed. The themes are so prescient. A brilliant exploration of 'the end of an era'--the post-war truce between races, religions and ideologies. I thank you for restoring my faith in the novel. In addition to being a fiercely intelligent political novel, the prose is luscious." --Marianne Ackerman, novelist, playwright, and journalist, author of Mankind and Other Stories of Women "A vivid chronicle of life in a small corner of Europe opens onto an exploration of history from the Byzantines to the Ottomans to the Second World War. This is a gripping, exuberantly written tale, mixing genres and vocabularies, tracking the elusive dream of interethnic harmony. Rana Bose's story is beautiful and wise." --Sherry Simon, Professor of French Studies, Concordia University "In his new novel Shaf and the Remington , Rana Bose paints complex, unforgettable characters that last long after the book is read. In an epistolary style, Ben, and his tutor, Shaf, narrate events that changed their lives and the history of nations. Bose forces us to face our own anger, animosity, arrogance, and religious and racial intolerance. Masterfully crafted, the final pages of the book compel the reader to start over again." --Nilambri Ghai, author of From Johanne to Janaki: Bringing Vikings to Varanasi ". . . an allegory to the forces of human nature, which pit the petty desire to divide against the will to unite. ... Rana Bose would certainly merit a place in Canada's pantheon of outstanding writers." -- Ottawa Review of Books, "A vivid chronicle of life in a small corner of Europe opens onto an exploration of history from the Byzantines to the Ottomans to the Second World War.

Not a light read, but a profound one. (...) readers will come through the experience pondering the big questions, realizing how hard it is to answer them. An impressive work." --Elizabeth Caulfield Felt, Historical Novel Society

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
