World Travel
Adjiedj Bakas (1963) and his husband Vinco David (1961-2023) traveled all over the world during their 25 years together. In this book they compile 10 travel stories and 5 poems Vinco wrote for his great love. “Nothing develops intelligence so much as travel,” Emile Zola once wrote. Travel changes the mensch . The one who leaves is not the one who arrives. “The world is a book and those who do not travel can only read a page,” Augustine wrote. You can seek your happiness in the distance or seek it under your feet. We chose the latter.

The Male Harem
A medieval Indian emperor has a male harem in addition to his female harem.
His scouts recruit from all corners of his empire the most beautiful young men for the sexually insatiable monarch. In the men’s harem, friendships for life develop, but rivalry and jealousy also prevail. Sneaky loves also arise. At a time when sexual diversity is normal in India, all of this happens openly. 500 years later, a gay Indian student in The Hague falls in love with a Dutchman. His family, related to the gay monarch of the Middle Ages, reacts dismissively to this love and the boys are even threatened with death. This historical novel is based on the diaries of the Indian emperor Babur (1494-1530) and on old books about gay Indian maharajas (=kings) from the Middle Ages. The author did thorough historical research and used his rich imagination and his own creativity to write this exciting, mysterious novel.
The first printing sold 10,000 copies.
This second printing appears on the second anniversary of the death of novelist and (geo)political scientist Vinco David.
