Opium's Hidden Histories
2024 || Paperback || Amitav Ghosh || Veltman Distributie Import Books
When Amitav Ghosh began the research for his monumental cycle of novels the Ibis Trilogy, he was startled to find how the lives of the 19th century sailors and soldiers he wrote of were dictated not only by the currents of the Indian Ocean, but also by the precious commodity carried in enormous quantities on those currents: opium. Most surprising at all, however, was the discovery that his own identity and family history was swept up in the story.

2024 || Paperback || Dr Mariel Buque || Veltman Distributie Import Books
How to pass on strength not pain to those you love.
When a physical wound is left unhealed, it continues to cause pain and can infect the whole body. When emotions are left unhealed, they similarly cause harm that spreads to other parts of our lives, hurting our family, friends and colleagues. Eventually, this hurt spreads further, affecting entire communities and families across generations.
This is intergenerational trauma. It can lead us to become people-pleasers, co-dependent in relations...
