Foreign investment is enthusiastically looked forward to in India and other developing countries. But foreign investors face innumerable problems despite promises initially. In this novel, a Japanese company setting up a plant in Haryana in the north recruits a retired senior government official to help resolve various factors quickly—without bribes. He contacts numerous retired civil servants associated with the state that he could recollect. The people are polite and ready to talk at length but neither inclined nor capable to help. However, he strikes a give-and-take arrangement with a former colleague who hopefully might assist in some political help in exchange for arranging a suitable match for his daughter. The book takes the reader through a journey the official takes in obtaining and executing foreign investment, throwing light on the intricacies involved in it. Though people generally hear about problems pertaining to this they are unaware of the details of the process. This book enlightens them. It also covers North India’s religious and cultural places that the official travels. Seen from his angle it provides a different image which is unique in itself. Besides the family life of the retired government official and his wife is brought alive, replete with their intimate moments which sheds light on a new aspect of life at home with advancing age.

In Foreigners and Egyptians in the Late Egyptian Stories Camilla Di Biase-Dyson applies systemic functional linguistics, literary theory and New Historicist approaches to four of the Late Egyptian Stories and shows how language was exploited to establish the narrative roles of literary protagonists. The analysis reveals the shifting power dynamics between the Doomed Prince and his foreign wife and the parody in the depiction of the Hyksos ruler Apophis and his Theban counterpart Seqenenre. It also sheds light on the weight of history in the sketch of the Rebel of Joppa and the general Djehuty and explains the interplay of social expectations in the encounters between the envoy Wenamun and the Levantine princes with whom he seeks to trade. "Overall, Di Biase-Dyson’s monograph is an original interdisciplinary examination of an exciting corpus of ancient literary texts." Nikolaos Lazaridis, Journal of Near Eastern Studies
