Chinese Ancient Origins
Beautiful edition taking the reader through the origins and history of the Chinese and Asian peoples, highlighting the roots of modern fiction in history, myth and fable.
The events of China's history and origins of its society are inextricably linked to its varied mythology and folklore, reflecting the warring dynasties and the vast landscapes of the country, where distant mountains, and long, winding rivers dominated the sight-lines of ancient peoples. A brand new, highly readable history by Scott Crawford, Chinese Ancient Origins surveys the events, cultural practices, political developments, beliefs, key individuals and roots of ancient China, from the earliest known prehistory through the collapse of the Qin dynasty (206 BCE). This span of history allows the reader to follow a clear line from the origin of humanity in China to the incipient forms of organization, then onward to feudalism and to the founding of the imperial era – a form of government persisting into the twentieth century. An ideal companion to Flame Tree's Chinese Myths & Legends.
Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction: authors, myths, tales and history without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new Introduction and a Glossary of Terms or lists of Ancient Leaders.
The Distinctly Competent District Councillor
The charming and original story of a small, declining community’s struggle to survive in the shadow of an all-consuming metropolis, from from the multi-million copy bestselling author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.
All over the world, people sleep blissfully in Traumbett beds. These marvellous feats of German engineering have successfully cornered the mattress market everywhere. Everywhere, except Sweden and owner Konrad Kaltenbacher Jr is desperate to expand there.
With Konrad Jr’s sights set firmly on stylish Stockholm, Julia Bäck, district councillor of the small, decaying town of Halstaholm, has plans of her own. Seeing an opportunity to attract 800 new jobs, Julia jumps into spearheading a persuasive campaign to win the contract. A roundabout is hastily renamed in honour of Angela Merkel; a German school is quickly established under the leadership of a ten-year-old boy and three elderly pensioners; and the town swimming pool is rapidly transformed into a beerhouse – it had been empty for years anyway!
Julia’s get-up-and-go impresses the German boss … but has she made herself a tricky bed to lie in?
Nowhere Girl
For Carla Ciccone, the feeling of not quite knowing how to perform adult life was all too familiar.
At 39 years old, Carla was finally diagnosed with ADHD after a lifetime of shame and self-blame. Yet while the diagnosis came with a sense of relief, the knowledge that a significant brain disorder, for too long framed as a condition for restless little boys, had gone unnoticed all her life didn't sit right with her.
Understanding the ways in which ADHD has been framed scientifically and historically made Carla realise how she had created a narrative where her ADHD symptoms were deep personality flaws and left her ashamed and feeling unworthy.

Blank Canvas
Introducing an outstanding new voice in literary fiction: a sensual, sharp, and utterly compelling campus novel about grief, reinvention, and the ripple effects of telling lies
If I ever woke up with an ungodly dread - that I could change it all now, turn around, and confess - I ignored it. I had never been good, and there was no point in trying now.
On a small liberal arts campus in upstate New York, Charlotte begins her final year with a lie. Her father died over the summer, she says. Heart attack. Very sudden.
Charlotte had never been close with her classmates but as she repeats her tale, their expressions soften into kindness. And so she learns there are things worth lying for: attention, affection, and, as she embarks on a relationship with fellow student Katarina, even love. All she needs to do is keep control of the threads that hold her lie - and her life - together.
But six thousand miles away, alone in the grey two-up-two-down Staffordshire terrace she grew up in, her father is very much alive, watching television and drinking beer. Charlotte has always kept difficult truths at arm's length, but his resolve to visit his distant daughter might just be the one thing she can't control.
Arborescence
What makes a person want to be a tree?
Bren and his partner Caelyn are feeling at a standstill in their lives. One day they come across a video of people in the forest who believe that if they stand still for long enough they will transform into trees. The idea is absurd. But it's spreading. Soon, people start to go missing and trees appear in unlikely places.
As cities decay and the world becomes greener, Caelyn becomes more and more convinced that arborescence is exactly what will save the planet from human destruction. Bren isn't so sure. Drifting apart, Bren and Caelyn are forced to question what it really means to be human - and if they are ready to stand still.
'A dazzling blend of cosmic eco-horror and arthouse sci-fi, Arborescence is one of the most profound and beautiful books you'll ever read. A devastating and unforgettable elegy for the planet' Chris Flynn, author of Orpheus Nine
No Time For Goodbye
The master of the shocking twist Linwood Barclay's mega-selling No Time For Goodbye - a lightning-paced psychological thriller full of secrets, lies and obsessive love.
From the author of FIND YOU FIRST
On the morning she will never forget, suburban teenager Cynthia Archer awakes with a nasty hangover and a feeling she is going to have an even nastier confrontation with her mom and dad. But when she leaves her bedroom, she discovers the house is empty, with no sign of her parents or younger brother Todd. In the blink of an eye, without any explanation, her family has simply disappeared.
Twenty-five years later Cynthia is still haunted by unanswered questions. Were her family murdered? If so, why was she spared? And if they're alive, why did they abandon her in such a cruel way? Now married with a daughter of her own, Cynthia fears that her new family will be taken from her just as her first one was. And so she agrees to take part in a TV documentary revisiting the case, in the hope that somebody somewhere will remember something - or even that her father, mother or brother might finally reach out to her . . .
Then a letter arrives which makes no sense and yet chills Cynthia to the core. And soon she begins to realise that stirring up the past could be the worst mistake she has ever made . . .
Finding My Way
How do you rebuild yourself when your whole world changes overnight?
Thrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now, for the first time ever, Malala takes readers beyond the headlines in Finding My Way - a vulnerable, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humour and tenderness.
Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid, often messy moments like nearly failing exams, getting ghosted and meeting the love of her life, Malala reminds us that real role models aren't perfect - they're human.
In this astonishing memoir, Malala reintroduces herself to the world, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her - while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. Finding My Way is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny - and a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself.

Crux
A heartstopping story of friendship, thrill-seeking and defying expectations: the explosive second novel from the bestselling author of My Absolute Darling
Dan and Tamma are two Californian teenagers growing up dirt poor in the shadows of the Joshua Tree National Park, one of the world's great rock climbing meccas. Their mothers had once been teenage waitresses and best friends until their paths diverged. Now Dan's mother spends her days locked in her room, her dreams squandered and all her hopes pinned on getting her precociously clever son out of town and away to university.
Tamma's mother holds no such ambition for her mouthy, queer, truant-playing, snaggle-toothed daughter, who everyone but Dan believes to be a troublemaker and no-hoper. But Tamma and Dan are fuelled by dreams of becoming legendary rock climbers, of devoting their lives to summiting the most challenging climbs and defying all the expectations, both good and bad, that others have for them.
Climbing at sun-up, on cliff faces that test their bodies to the limit, is where their friendship is forged. It's also the one thing that gives them hope. But as their final year of high school unfolds and their climbs become ever more dangerous, and their home lives ever more extreme, it's inevitable that something is going to snap...

Druhá časť podmanivej ságy Dcéry kvetov vás tentoraz zavedie do drsnej, no očarujúcej krajiny ohňa a ľadu – na Island.
Soley má život, o akom mnohí len snívajú: úspešnú hudobnú kariéru, peniaze, slávu aj pohľadného partnera. Pod žiarou reflektorov je však čoraz osamelejšia. Po smrti starej mamy náhodou objaví obraz ženy, ktorá jej je až znepokojivo podobná. Kto bola táto záhadná postava a aké puto ich spája?

Prelínaním minulosti a súčasnosti vzniká dojímavý príbeh o láske, sile žien a hľadaní vlastnej identity. Pomôže jej nádherná, no neľútostná islandská príroda a jej liečivé ticho nájsť pravdu o sebe?

Dokonalí neznámi
Aférka v meste lásky ju privedie na divokú jazdu plnú romantiky, nebezpečia a ilúzií.
Úspešná americká spisovateľka Olivia Rossiová nedokázala napísať ani slovo od tragédie, ktorá jej pred dvomi rokmi prevrátila život naruby. Prenasledovaná minulosťou prijme ponuku stráviť leto v Paríži, kde hľadá uzdravenie aj stratenú múzu. Namiesto toho však nachádza Jamesa, príťažlivého cudzinca, ktorý v nej vzbudí nečakanú túžbu.
Olivia a James si povedia len svoje krstné mená, ale žiadne osobné tajomstvá, kým sa ponárajú do vášnivého romániku. No čím viac času spolu trávia, tým viac si Olivia uvedomuje, že sa jej letná aférka mení na čosi hlbšie. A že ten tajomný muž, ktorému podľahla, vôbec nie je tým, za koho sa vydáva.

Hráč
Sara přijíždí na vysokoškolskou kolej, aby začala daleko od svého domova studovat vysněnou žurnalistiku. Chce udělat tlustou čáru za svojí minulostí, vyléčit si zlomené srdce a zapomenout na to, co jí u nich doma provedl jeden bezcitný kluk.
Christian Hale je studentem architektury na téže vysoké škole. Působí jako lehkomyslný floutek a jednoho dne se vsadí s kamarády, že Saru během dvou týdnů dostane do postele. Sara však jejich sázku náhodou zaslechne a rozhodne se začít s Christianem hrát hru.
Ani jeden z nich ale nepočítá s tím, že by se mohli doopravdy zamilovat. Sara cítí, že podruhé by ji zrada někoho, koho by si příliš pustila k tělu, dokázala úplně psychicky zničit. A také Christian skrývá jakési nevyřešené věci z minulosti. Čím víc času spolu ale ti dva tráví a čím blíže se poznávají, zdá se jim stále těžší udržet si toho druhého dál od těla.
