Could you show a request path ? For example, as

         my-books.com/book1/ > my-stuff.com/books/book1/

nginx can proxy

        location / {
           proxy_pass  http://backend/book/;
        }

or

        location /book/ {
           proxy_pass  http://backend/;
        }

BTW, why do you run nginx behind Apache ? nginx has been designed to run
before Apache.
