✨ Впервые независимый Узбекистан покоряет сердца юных британских читателей! 🇺🇿📚🇬🇧

В Лондоне, в историческом Fitzroy House, прошел День Евразийской литературы — и главным событием стала презентация книги «Сказки для детей | Fairy tales for children» талантливой писательницы Елены Макаровой из Узбекистана.

🌟 Билингвальное издание (русский + английский) не просто развлекает, но и воспитывает, открывая малышам путь к культуре и языкам с самого раннего возраста.

🏆 Книга стала победителем престижного конкурса Open Eurasia 2024 в номинации «Лучшая детская книга» и издана Hertfordshire Press (UK) при поддержке Eurasian Creative Guild (London).

📖 «Сказки для детей» уже доступны к заказу на Amazon, Waterstones, Google Books и других площадках.

💬 Как отметили гости презентации, это не просто сказки — это мудрые истории с юмором, теплом и глубокой философией, способные стать проводником в мир культуры и человечности.

Author Shahsanem Murray Releases Long-Awaited Third Novel — Naked Nimbus

Hertfordshire Press is proud to announce the release of Naked Nimbus, the third novel by acclaimed author Shahsanem Murray. This highly anticipated work follows her earlier successes “Cold Shadows” and “Finding the Holy Path”, both available on Amazon and discovery-bookshop.com

In Naked Nimbus, Murray tells the story of Arthur, a young and ambitious artist haunted by his role in a fatal accident. As he seeks redemption and recognition for his craft, Arthur’s journey becomes both physical and emotional — stretching from the Soviet homeland to Scotland, France, and the wilds of Siberia. Along the way, he grapples with love, betrayal, loss, and surreal moments where reality and imagination intertwine.

Parallel lives enrich the narrative, including that of Turdubek, Arthur’s friend Alik’s father, whose search for love under the Soviet regime mirrors Arthur’s own longing for connection. Rich in visual imagery and layered with symbolism inspired by Surrealist art, Naked Nimbus is a profound meditation on identity, forgiveness, and the universal need to belong.

Murray’s literary voice, praised for its poetic prose and philosophical depth, has captivated readers across her previous works. With Naked Nimbus, she continues her tradition of weaving thought-provoking narratives that linger long after the final page.

Availability Naked Nimbus — Amazon Kindle https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FMKH1HL5

Cold Shadows and Finding the Holy Path — available now on Amazon and discovery-bookshop.com

Our Story

The aim of the imprint is to publish Eurasian literature in English in print and electronically for distribution in UK and worldwide, and to publish English literature in Eurasian languages, especially for schools and universities in Eurasian region. Many Central Asian writers wrote in Russian during the time of the Soviet Union, rather than in their native language, to reach the then potential reading public of 250 million or so. Much less was written in the native languages, so there is a rather small corpus of literature originally written in the native languages, compared to many other countries and languages across the world. This lack of native literature is a hindrance to the development of the state languages and therefore reduces the scope for native language improvement through reading for pleasure. Some of this was translated into Russian and a small fraction from there into English. There were no translations direct from native languages into English. By publishing native literature in English, Hertfordshire Press will bring that neglected literature to a much wider audience, thereby encouraging local writers to prepare their works in their own languages. Textbooks may also be translated into English. English literature is published extensively in Russian, and that’s how it is read by the native peoples of Central Asia, where Russian was the common language in Soviet times. The governments of the new independent states of Central Asia are promoting the use of their state languages, especially by educating their populations through the medium of native languages, rather than through the Russian language as was previously the case There is no English literature published in Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik. or Turkmen (all Turkic languages) or Tajik (a Persian language), so the publication of English literature in these languages will encourage students and adults in Central Asia to improve their knowledge of their native language by also having access to foreign literature. Textbooks may also be translated from English.
