Description
Ancient civilizations in Vietnam, lost cities of the Amazon, towns and villages of humanity fought for space against the overwhelming force of nature. We think we've mastered it, but discoveries around the world show abandoned cities, their proud buildings now flooded, overtaken by forests—nature reclaiming what was once its own, with slow, relentless time. But there are also modern places, cities built by corrupt local officials that were never occupied, amusement parks closed due to terrible tragedy, neighborhoods inevitably sinking into mud, cities destroyed by radiation—remnants of a generation, entire societies erased from the earth, leaving only fragmented traces of memory. This exotic, powerful new book evokes eerie, haunted places where small elements of humanity remain: a car with only one wheel, a battered doll, torn shirts on a laundry line, a broken carousel—all shattered dreams now only existing in imagination.
Popular titles and a very wide range of authors are synonymous with Flame Tree Publishing.
“The aim… is to wipe the dust of everyday life from our souls” — Pablo Picasso.
“Flame Tree Publishing has been wiping the dust of everyday life for over twenty years, creating illustrated books since 1992, art calendars since 1998, and illustrated e-books since 2009. Their extensive list includes powerful and eloquent artists such as Erté and Alphonse Mucha, complemented by broad licenses in their award-winning calendar lines, with Tate, V&A, RSC, RA, and many others.”
Thanks to a wide range of authors, editors, and writers—from Vladimir Ashkenazy, Steve Hackett, John Howe, Sir George Martin, Brian May, Paul du Noyer, Paco Peña, Stanley Sadie—the company strives to create illustrated projects that are affordable, useful, and beautiful. In addition to printed titles, their exceptional selection of practical cookbooks, music books, pop culture, and lifestyle titles is increasingly available in digital formats. The publisher believes that well-reviewed, thoughtfully curated content should be available in many different formats to meet their readers’ needs.
