Description
During the Cold War, the US Army built a secret city beneath the ice cover of Iceland; in 19th-century Scotland, Burke and Hare lurked in Edinburgh’s undergrounds; in Turkey, the underground tunnels of Cappadocia housed up to 20,000 people; the Wieliczka salt mine city in Poland was built in the 13th century; and the ancient city of Petra in Jordan was lost for centuries from the end of the 8th century. Featuring intriguing and memorable photographs, this new book showcases many hidden places around the world, from China, Russia, and Poland to mysterious underground dwellings in cities across Canada and the USA.
Fascinating titles and a very wide range of authors are part of the Flame Tree Publishing brand.
“The aim… is to wipe the dust of everyday life from our souls,” Pablo Picasso.
“Flame Tree Publishing has been dusting off 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 line, with collaborations 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 brand 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.
