Let's Look After the Worth of the World
‘Let’s Look After the Worth of the World’ is a brilliantly written book about politics and economics, arguing from a left-wing perspective that modern life is unsustainable. This book is a wake-up call—a wake-up call for absolutely everybody in the whole world. We live in a world where most of the wealth is controlled by a few people, where we are all renting our existences from forces that control everything, and where they tell us to own nothing and be happy. Is this right? Add to this the negative effects of colour television and the media, and we have a world where it seems we are accelerating ever faster towards a cliff edge.
In this book Majid Salim ‘sounds the alarm’; he argues, with technical skill and heartfelt language, that something must change. It needs to be read by every decision-maker in every country. It is an inspiration for change, a justification for thinking differently. Everyone who reads it will start demanding action from their leaders and sympathising with the radical leftists who say our planet needs root and branch reform. ‘Let’s Look After the Worth of the World’ will change you — it taps into the widely felt, but almost totally unrepresented, feelings the public have about radical Left solutions.

Parvon Zin’s Universe: Silvenex Chronicles
The Silvenex are descended from an old insectoid species called the Inchine. The gentle Inchine once numbered in the trillions, inhabiting a vast area in one of the arms of the spiral galaxy known to them as the Great Glowing Web. The peace-loving Inchine sent out messages of love to anyone out there in the void. They are answered by a reptilian species who are out scouting for a food source to feed their planet struck down by famine. The reptiles are insectivores. What initially is seen by the Inchine as a fantastic bit of luck – finally discovering they are not alone in the universe – turns to horror as the militaristically stronger reptiles slaughter the Inchine for food. Only a very small segment of the Inchine escape. This is the story of those escapee Inchine. As time passes and memories devolve into story, the Inchine call themselves Silvenex…. Which translates to Survivors. As with all other species in the Spiral Arm Galaxy, the Silvenex are shapeshifters and are immortal. They have a weakness, though. They are virtually addicted to hard radiation.
There are three clans on a planet called Silven, which translates to “survivors’ haven”. They are black, blue, and red in colour, and that’s what they call each other. Survival has been brutal. There is no love between the competing survivors.
This tome covers the rise of each of them. From their humble beginnings to their present-day finery.

Parvon Zin's Universe: Poltox
Poltox… The very mention of the name conjures up fear in most species. This warrior society has a deserved reputation. The Belatan Banking Guild use Andrend Poltox exclusively in their Debt Recovery Branch. The Anunnaki use them as security guards. Poltox mercenary units are used by the Boldonian Trading Guilds during and after hostile takeover conflicts. The galaxy as a whole sees them as mindless savage thugs.
The Poltox don’t correct that assumption. They are happy to let anyone think what they like. In reality the Poltox have a wide and varied culture. Not all can be warriors. The non-warrior castes keep the society running, providing weapons, engineering, agriculture, scientific research, and medical expertise. Every Poltox believes totally in the afterlife, a place called Loplen. A great feasting hall where worthy warriors are taken up by the fabled winged Jenpen. Beautiful female warriors to dine at Crangg’s table. Feasting and fighting throughout eternity. The non-warrior Poltox clans have their own feasting halls where they live out eternity conducting whatever wondrous things they did before.
Disaster struck the Poltox in the form of a planet-wide famine. An ultra-fast-growing small carnivore called Limies was found on a nearby planet. They are harvested by the hundreds of thousands. These little creatures at first seemed like a blessing. Then they started attacking the Poltox in such numbers that no matter how good the warrior was, they were overwhelmed and eaten. Eighty percent of the Poltox population were killed. Only two clans remained. The Nool and the Andrend.
The two clans were so close they had thought of forming one powerful unit. The Andrend had volunteered to be enhanced, strength- and reflexes-wise, to help deal with the tiny terrors. The drugs affect the Andrend’s minds. Making them aggressive and arrogantly dismissive of their now, in their mind, ‘lesser cousins’. Brutalised after their blood-filled grim two-year battle with the Limies, they cannot relate to the Nool. Fights start. The enhanced Andrend kills without remorse. They start to treat the weaker Nool like slaves. Hatred builds and becomes entrenched.
War breaks out between the two clans. The only way it will end is with the total eradication of the loser. Their mindset can see no other way. It will take an outsider’s view to find a solution.

Ouch!
Have you ever had a day—or even just a moment—when it feels like nothing is going right? Maybe everything just keeps going wrong, no matter what you do, and it’s almost like there’s a little rain cloud following you around!
Maybe you know what it’s like to bite your tongue when you’re eating something yummy or stub your toe on the table when you’re not looking. Or maybe, just like the silly character in this book, your mum or dad sometimes bumps their head right before bedtime! Don’t worry, everyone has days like this, and our character’s silly accidents and funny moments might make you giggle and think, “Hey, I’ve done that too!”
Sometimes, out of nowhere, little disasters pop up—like tripping over your own shoelaces or dropping your snack on the floor. When that happens, you might just say, “umm…” because you don’t even know what to say!
Wait a second… what do we say again? Oh yeah, it’s,
“OUCH!”
But don’t worry, friends, he didn’t bonk his head again, I pinky promise! If you want to find out about all the silly things he gets up to, you’ll have to read the book. Maybe you’ll giggle when you see his crashes, wallops, and all the bumpy bumps, because maybe you’ve had days just like that too!
Let’s hope you’re a little bit luckier than this goofy little character. No more ouchies, please! Promise?

Season of the Sardine
If a woman’s life could be gathered into four seasons, her true season would be the Season of the Sardine. It is the moment when even hope seems lost, when branches fall silent, when all roots appear dry, yet from the smallest crack in the earth a woman rises again.
Season of the Sardine tells the story of all women through Buket, Şoger and Sevda. In the nature of existence, one strikes like lightning, another chills like deep winter, and another blooms like spring in the heart. Love sinks from the heart into the stomach. Workers leave for distant lands. Two angels choose human form. Four generations grow up without a mother. Humi and Buket cross into the hidden realms of being.
When the Season of the Sardine arrives, a woman is no longer who she once was. She becomes everything she has endured and everything she has transformed into. Women cling to young branches. They bow before the fire. They rise like flame. They melt the frost with the sun. They slip into the hair of the world like a quiet rebellion.
Humanity begins to see that life is not long enough to hide our true feelings. Since the first stories of the earth, women have given birth to a new identity for humankind. If the Season of the Sardine had a lens, it would show the lamps that unite every root between East and West.
Souls are blessed with incense. Songs rise from the dust of death. Violins bloom from graves. Clarinets sprout from pots. The sixth season, the Season of the Sardine, stands outside all calendars and belongs only to itself.

Babel Alcochete Is the Gate of Eden
What if the western edge of Europe preserved an older map of beginnings?
In this provocative investigation, Luís Pereira reopens the case of Eden, Babel, and the Trojan narrative—not as distant legends pinned to the eastern Mediterranean, but as layered memories embedded in the landscape of the Tagus estuary. Drawing on overlooked historical writers, biblical frameworks, classical hints about a far-western “garden”, and a dense web of local toponyms, Babel Alcochete is the Gate of Eden, proposing that Alcochete and its surrounding territories may preserve the structural footprint of an ancient civilisational hub: a second Eden in the land of Shinar; a Babel that later traditions displaced eastward; and a “Trojan” conflict stripped of its religious core by modern retellings.
This is not a demand for blind belief but a call for targeted research—where text, territory, and tradition can finally be tested side by side.
UNESCO crowned an “official” Troy in Ilion, Turkey, as if the memory of the West could fit into an incomplete scenario. Herbert, on the contrary, describes an entire story—a biblical one—where Eden is not an ornament but an origin. And the Greeks, in speaking of the garden of golden apples in the far west of Europe, left a clue. When Homeric Troy was amputated of its religious core, a secular Troy was born: a beautiful but dehydrated story, incapable of recognising Eden as the cradle of the cities of the Tagus estuary, open to the ocean.
There is a contrast that is difficult to ignore. On one hand, the certified Troy in Ilion (Turkey) is dependent on a reconstruction that rarely presents itself as a complete narrative. On the other hand, Herbert’s reading is of biblical origin, which integrates Eden as a founding axis—precisely that “garden of the far west” that Greek tradition echoes in the motif of the golden apples. The problem is that when Homeric Troy is reduced to a human drama and detached from its religious grammar, a secular story is gained, but the key is lost: the notion of Eden as origin—and, with it, the possibility of seeing the Tagus estuary, facing the Atlantic, as the cradle of an aggregated civilisational geography.
