Synopsis Tears Towards Destiny by : Harish Noudiyal

Most of the text of this story and play is comprised of the stories from the people. I contend and tell my stories from my thoughts and reality of the same society remains between two countries and acknowledges me over long hours of conversation in the remote area in Nepal with a few villagers. To set the context of these oral stories, I have written an introduction about the background material in each chapter. In a number of instances, I have found it necessary to insert additional background information in the text about an interview and some are made up, combining their past and future. In the story, I introduce the base of reality that we all have to go through once in our lifetime. It could be any manner of circumstances. We have different categories of action or facts in our future once. The story is totally made up but based on facts in that part of the world.

Synopsis Hutu Rebels by : Anna Hedlund

In 1994, almost one million ethnic Tutsis were killed in the genocide in Rwanda. In the aftermath of the genocide, some of the top-echelon Hutu officers who had organized it fled Rwanda to the eastern Congo (DRC) and set up a new base for military operation, with the goal of retaking power in Kigali, Rwanda. More than twenty years later, these rebel forces comprise a diverse group of refugees, rebel fighters, and civilian dependents who operate from mountain areas in the Congo forests and have a long and complex history of war and violence. While media and human rights reports typically portray this rebel group as one of the most brutal rebel factions operating in the eastern Congo region, Hutu Rebels paints a more complex picture. Having conducted ethnographic fieldwork in a rebel camp located deep in the Congo forest, Anna Hedlund explores the micropolitics and practices of everyday life among a community of Hutu rebel fighters and their families, living under the harshest of conditions. She describes the Hutu fighters not only as a military unit with a vision of return to Rwanda but also as a community engaged in the present Congo conflicts. Hedlund focuses on how fighters and their families perceive their own life conditions, how they remember and articulate the events of the genocide, and why they continue to fight in what appears to be an endless conflict. Hutu Rebels argues that we need to move beyond compiling catalogs of atrocities and start examining the "ordinary life" of combatants if we want to understand the ways in which violence is expressed in the context of a most brutal conflict.

Synopsis Letters from the Southwest, September 20, 1884 to March 14, 1885 by : Charles Fletcher Lummis

Lummis' other set of letters, to the Los Angeles times, are well-known as the basis for his A Tramp across the continent (Chas. Scribner's Sons, 1892). These are the 24 letters written to the Chillicothe Leader. They are more robust than the Times versions, which were more deliberately crafted, more commercial. An essential for Western collections.
