एका डिजीटाइज्ड शहरात नजीकच्या भविष्यकाळात कधीतरी शुचितेच्या, शुद्धतेच्या हव्यासापोटी समाजांना विभाजित करणार्]या आणि त्यांच्यावर मर्यादा घालणार्]या भिंती उभ्या राहतात. त्या भिंतींमागे कडक नागरी शिस्त असते. त्याला एके काळची श्रीमंत आणि काहीसा स्वच्छंदी स्वभाव असलेली शालिनी बळी पडते. एका दुःखद उन्हाळ्यात लैला ही तिची मुलगी तिच्यापासून दुरावते. त्यानंतर सलग सोळा वर्षं शालिनी लैलाचा शोध घेत असते. सभोवतालची देखरेख यंत्रणा आणि लबाड रिपीटर्स यांच्या तडाख्यात शालिनी बाजूला फेकली जाते; पण फक्त तिच्या मुलीच्या शोधामुळेच ती पुढे पुढे जात br>राहते. त्यानंतर काय घडतं ही प्रेमाची, विश्वासाची आणि या सर्वांहूनही अधिक प्रमाणात वैफल्याची कथा आहे.
When the angry cloud comes... Leila runs. The cloud grows and grows, and Leila walks deeper and deeper into its depths. Then she hears a voice. Underneath all the cloudiness is a spot of light. Leila works to dig the Voice out bit by bit, until she has a companion to walk with. Whether drawing them a map for when they get lost or creating a net for when they fall, Leila's finally able to soar with the Voice into a world of technicolor light. But will it be enough for them to complete their voyage home? Leila and the Voice is a picture book about the journeys we start, the fear we face, and the courage we grow into as we learn that we've had what we needed all along to face what scares us.
Dubbed 'the poster girl of Palestinian militancy', Leila Khaled's image flashed across the world after she hijacked a passenger jet in 1969. The picture of a young, determined looking woman with a checkered scarf, clutching an AK-47, was as era-defining as that of Che Guevara. In this intimate profile, based on interviews with Khaled and those who know her, Sarah Irving gives us the life-story behind the image. Key moments of Khaled's turbulent life are explored, including the dramatic events of the hijackings, her involvement in the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (a radical element within the PLO), her opposition to the Oslo peace process and her activism today. Leila Khaled's example gives unique insights into the Palestinian struggle through one remarkable life – from the tension between armed and political struggle, to the decline of the secular left and the rise of Hamas, and the role of women in a largely male movement.

Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton (1803-1873) was an English novelist, playwright, and politician. Bulwer-Lytton's literary career began in 1820, with the publication of his first book of poems. He wrote in a variety of genres, including historical fiction, mystery, romance, the occult, and science fiction. In 1828 he attracted general attention with Pelham, a humourous, intimate study of the dandyism of the age which kept gossips busy in identifying characters with public figures of the time. By 1833, he had reached the height of his popularity with Godolphin, followed by The Pilgrims of the Rhine (1834), The Last Days of Pompeii (1834), Rienzi: The Last of the Roman Tribunes (1835), and Harold: The Last of the Saxon Kings (1848).
