Description A child is imprisoned in a house by her reclusive religious parents. Hester has never seen the outside world; her companions are Cat, Spoon, Door, Handle, Broom, and they all speak to her. Her imagination is informed by one book, an illustrated child's bible, and its imagery forms the sole basis for her capacity to make poetic connection.

One day Hester takes a brave Alice in Wonderland trip into the forbidden outside (at the behest of Handle - 'turn me turn me'), and this overwhelming encounter with light and sky and sunshine is a marvel to her. From this moment on, Hester learns the concept of the secret, and not telling, and the world becomes something that fills her with feeling as if she is a vessel, empty and bottomless for need of it.

The story told by Hester in One Foot Wrong is often dark and terrible, but the sheer blazing brilliance of her language and the imagery that illuminates the pages make this novel an exhilarating, enlightening and joyous act of faith. The stars shine brightest out of the deepest dark.

Description A moving tale of post-war friendship, love and books, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society is a captivating and completely irresistible novel of enormous depth and heart.

It's 1946, and as Juliet Ashton sits at her desk in her Chelsea flat, she is stumped. A writer of witty newspaper columns during the war, she can't think of what to write next. Out of the blue, she receives a letter from one Dawsey Adams of Guernsey - by chance he's acquired a book Juliet once owned - and, emboldened by their mutual love of books, they begin a correspondence.

Dawsey is a member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and it's not long before the rest of the members write to Juliet - including the gawky Isola, who makes home-made potions, Eben, the fisherman who loves Shakespeare, and Will Thisbee, rag-and-bone man and chef of the famous potato peel pie. As letters fly back and forth, Juliet comes to know the extraordinary personalities of the Society and their lives under the German occupation of the island. Entranced by their stories, Juliet decides to visit the island to meet them properly - and unwittingly turns her life upside down.

Description The Lacuna is the heartbreaking story of a man torn beween the warm heart of Mexico and the cold embrace of 1950s McCarthyite America.

Born in the U.S. and reared in Mexico, Harrison Shepherd is a liability to his social-climbing flapper mother, Salome. Making himself useful in the household of the famed Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, and exiled Bolshevik leader Lev Trotsky, he is an inadvertent witness to their revolutionary talk.

Years later, Shepherd has become an international star - a novelist. His fame brings the unwanted attentions of the American authorities and Shepherd's attempts at anonymity are futile as he is drawn into a conflict of historic proportions.

A gripping story of identity, loyalty and the devastating power of accusations to destroy innocent people. The Lacuna is as deep and rich as the New World.

Description With language at once lyrical, bare-knuckled, and unabashedly candid, Andre Aciman casts a shimmering light over each facet of desire to probe how we ache, want, and waver, and ultimately how we sometimes falter and let go of the very ones who may want only to offer what we crave from them. Behind every step the hero takes, his hopes, denials, fears, and regrets are ready to lay their traps. Yet the dream of love casts its halo. We may not know what we want. We may remain enigmas to ourselves and others. But sooner or later we discover who we've always known we were.

Description Call Me By Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blooms between seventeen-year-old Elio and his father's house guest Oliver during a restless summer on the Italian Riviera.

Unrelenting currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire threaten to overwhelm the lovers who at first feign indifference to the charge between them. What grows from the depths of their souls is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration, and an experience that marks them for a lifetime.

For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing they both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

Faber Fiction NOVEMBER 2018 Sleep No More P. D. James

The acknowledged 'Queen of Crime', P. D. James, was a past master of the short story, weaving together motifs of the Golden Age of crime-writing with deep psychological insight to create gripping, suspenseful tales.

Description The acknowledged 'Queen of Crime', P. D. James, was a past master of the short story, weaving together motifs of the Golden Age of crime-writing with deep psychological insight to create gripping, suspenseful tales. The Mistletoe Murder and Other Stories contained four of these perfectly formed stories, and this companion volume contains a further six, published here together for the first time.

As the six murderous tales unfold, the dark motive of revenge is revealed at the heart of each. Bullying schoolmasters receive their comeuppance, unhappy marriages and childhoods are avenged, a murder in the small hours of Christmas Day puts an end to the vicious new lord of the manor, and, from the safety of his nursing home, an octogenarian exerts exquisite retribution.

The punishments inflicted on the guilty are fittingly severe, but here they are meted out by the unseen forces of natural justice rather than the institutions of the law. Once again, P. D. James shows her expert control of the short-story form, conjuring motives and scenarios with complete conviction, and each with a satisfying twist in the tail.

Description The Armistice of 1918 brought ceasefire to the war on the Western Front, but 'the Great War' would not as hoped be 'the war to end all wars'. In this affecting selection, the Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, guides us deep into the act and root of 'armistice': its stoppage or 'stand' of arms, its search for truce and ceasefire.

These poems of war and peace memorialise the horror and the tragedy of conflict. At the same time, in armistice, they become a record of renewal and a testimony to hope.

Sales points • A perfect gift for Halloween • Best of both worlds: famous literary figures like Rudyard Kipling, E. Nesbit and E.F. Benson who are not well-known as ghost story writers, old favourites like M.R. James and a modern tribute to a Victorian classic

Description From a beautiful antique that gives its owner a show he'd rather forget, to 'ghost detective' whose exorcism goes horribly wrong and a sinister masked ball which seems to have one too many guests, these ghost stories of supernatural terror are guaranteed to make you shiver, thrill and look under the bed tonight.

From rural England to colonial India, in murky haunted mansions and under modern electric lighting, these master storytellers - some of the best writers in the English language - unfold spinetinglers which pull back the veil of everyday life to reveal the nightmares which lurk just out of sight. They are lessons in ingenuity and surprise, sometimes building slowly to a chilling climax, sometimes springing horror on you from the utterly banal. And as you'd expect from these writers, the stories are more than simply frightening - they're also disquieting exposures of mortality, loneliness and the human capacity for both evil and remorse.

We wish you pleasant dreams.

Contains ghost stories by: Ruth Rendell, M. R. James, Rudyard Kipling, Edith Wharton, E. F. Benson, E. Nesbit, Saki, W. W. Jacobs, W. F. Harvey, Hugh Walpole, Chico Kidd and LP Hartley.

However, the technician's pride in a job done well is failing him, his friend and protector Eddie is getting flakier and flakier and worst of all, he's falling in love with Nicole, a reckless and self-destructive female line-cook who's been around the block a few times.

Description 'I've always resisted the urge to 'do the memoir' but now, finally, I feel I've enough perspective. When you've spent more than half a century at the epicentre of a band like The Who, perspective can be a problem. Everything happened in the moment. One minute, I'm on the factory floor in Shepherd's Bush, the next, I'm headlining Woodstock.

It's taken three years to unpick the events of my life, to remember who did what when and why, to separate the myths from the reality, to unravel what really happened at the Holiday Inn on Keith Moon's 21st birthday.

I hope the result is more than just another autobiography. I've been lucky enough to live in interesting times. I've witnessed society, music and culture change beyond recognition. That I'm still here to tell my tale when so many others around me didn't make it is nothing short of a miracle.' Roger Daltrey

As immediate as Keith Richards' autobiography and as frank and honest as Springsteen and Clapton, Thank You Mr Kibblewhite is candid, self-deprecating and full of humour (the title refers to his music teacher at school who told him he'd never amount to anything) as Roger takes us through his early life and 50 years with The Who and their incredible 100

The rollicking adventure of the world's greatest car race - the 1968 London to Sydney Marathon.

Description In 1968, 98 competitors stormed out of London on the world's greatest automotive adventure. Four weeks later they arrived in Sydney - or at least half of them did. The others lay in ruins along the 10,000 mile route of the world's most gruelling test of vehicle and machine. The London-Sydney Marathon, the most ambitious and greatest car race ever staged was watched by millions, promoted by two great newspapers , Sir Max Aitken's Daily Express in London and Sir Frank Packer's Daily Telegraph in Sydney. It tore through borders which are now locked shut by war and insurrection. Armies turned out to carve its path. Whips and truncheons were used to force back crowds across Asia. Russian MIG fighters forced down a press-plane. Born in a time of economic anxiety gripping Britain the Marathon was conceived to lift the spirits of a nation. It was the flag bearer for new prosperity. So endemic was its influence that school curriculums were changed to enable students to follow its path across Europe, Asia and Australia. Unimaginable now in either concept or execution, the Marathon captured the rapt attention of whole countries through which it passed, and of the world as it created front page news. It was more than a car race, more than a rally, more than the trials that opened the outback of Australia only a decade before. It was called Marathon in homage to the greatest Olympic footrace of all time.

In Australia there was immense commercial competition between its two major manufacturers Holden and Ford. The quest for salesroom supremacy was fought out on the race tracks - Holden with its new coupe the Monaro and Ford with its soon to be iconic Falcon GT. Both factories entered the Marathon, each with a three car team. Neither was to win, but

But the huge crowds which lined the route through countries and regions which today have been made inaccessible by wars were at grave risk as the cars sped by.

Description 'Graham Seal has the knack of the storyteller' - Warren Fahey AM

The tradition of yarns from the bush goes back to the earliest days in Australia. Colourful rural characters and dramatic incidents parade through our history and folklore, entertaining and appalling us in equal measure.

Graham Seal has gathered classic and little-known stories from the time when most Australians lived outside the cities, and communication was by dirt track or boat. There's the time when farmers used their Ferguson tractors to save a town from floodwaters; when soldiers took on mobs of emus devastating the wheat crop; the Lady Bushranger who lived rough in a cave; Bob the railway dog who hitched rides on trains for years; and the many dubious strategies devised over the years against the pesky bush fly.

True or more than a little exaggerated, these stories reflect the distinctive way of life of rural and outback folk which continues even today.

Description It's time to stop giving a f*ck!

Be calm... Stop stressing... Embrace the universe... Try yoga... Be fulfilled... and that's an order!

We hear these commands everywhere, and we often torture ourselves to 'try harder', yet somehow we never feel we've done quite enough. It's about time we stopped feeling guilty for not being perfect, and instead simply allowed ourselves to be angry, be tired, be silly, be passionate - to stop giving a f*ck, and just be.

This international bestseller explains why the key to true mindfulness is freeing ourselves from social and often self- imposed stresses-and highlights how we can embrace life more fully by giving ourselves a break.

One of the world's leading teachers of meditation and mindfulness, Midal offers us a new solution to the perennial problem of our too-much, too-fast modern life. It's OK, he urges us, to say no to the things that don't fulfill us. It's necessary, in fact, to give ourselves a break and say, simply, 'F*ck it! C'est la vie'.

Sir Edmund Hillary's exploits in Antarctica include the riveting story of the Antarctic expedition he led and the establishment of Scott Base.

Sales points • Stunning hardback gift book • Exciting story of Hillary's crossing of Antarctica • Establishment of Scott Base • Hillary's time in Antarctica ll collected in one volume

Description

Written by Nigel Watson of the Antarctic Heritage Trust, and illustrated with Jane Ussher's stunning photographs, plus historic images and never-before-seen ephemera and diary entries, this is the first book that fully documents and celebrates Ed Hillary's contribution to Antarctic history.

Hillary and the New Zealand team were supposed to be a support act to the British Commonwealth Antarctic crossing party. By heading on to the South Pole and reaching it before the crossing party, Hillary exceeded the brief. His actions created tensions, unleashed a media storm and denied the British an historic first overland to the South Pole since Captain Scott. Hillary even had the audacity to achieve the feat with three farm tractors.

In doing so, Sir Edmund Hillary added another fascinating chapter to the exploration annals of Antarctica and he, and his expedition team, laid the foundations for New Zealand's continuous, and increasingly important, presence in Antarctica.

Faber Non Fiction NOVEMBER 2018 Walls David Frye

A beguiling, sweeping history of civilisation and what it means to be civilised. It 'turns 5,000 years of history outside in.'

Sales points • A timely history: border walls have experienced a conspicuous revival in the twenty-first century • Will appeal to readers of Mary Beard's SPQR and Tom Holland's Persian Fire. • Ideal for students and readers of Archaeology and Anthropology, Ancient and Modern History, and Classics

Description 'This is history with all the eerie qualities of a short story by Borges: emperors wait for barbarians, labyrinthine complexes of walls are discovered in mysterious deserts. A haunting and brilliant achievement.' - Tom Holland, author of Rubicon and Persian Fire

Historian David Frye presents a bold new thesis on how 'civilization' happens-the epic story of history's greatest manmade barriers, from ancient times to the medieval era and into the present.

At the dawn of humanity's ascent, there was only bloody conflict: nomadic tribes slashing at each other, and each man bred to a life of struggle and pillage. But then came the invention of the wall, dividing populations into two opposing groups. On one side were those who gained enough of a respite from the clash of arms to think, create, preserve, trade. On the other were the unwalled, warriors driven by the search for plunder.

In Walls, historian David Frye shows us what each side gained-and lost-with their decision about how to live. The stars of each chapter are the walls themselves-rising up in places as ancient and exotic as Mesopotamia, Babylon, Greece, China, Rome, Mongolia, Turkey, Afghanistan, Western Europe, and even Central and North America. As we journey across time and place, we discover thousand-mile-long walls in the desert wastes of Turkistan; learn of bizarre Spartan rituals; watch Genghis Khan drive his miles-long horde across the steppe; witness the epic siege of Constantinople; feel Price: AU $39.99 NZ $45.00 chilled at the extermination of French explorers of the lower Mississippi; inhale the gunpowder-scented air of France's ISBN: 9780571348411 Maginot Line; and visit some of the seventy border walls that have been erected in just the past decade. Format: Hard Cover Dimensions: 234x153mm Extent: 320 pages With provocative insight, Walls charts the centuries-long uneasy tension between the walled and unwalled, showing that Bic1: History walls profoundly shape the human psyche. Creativity, vigour, hardiness, the urge to make one's mark-all depend heavily Bic2: General & world history on whether one lives inside or outside a barrier.

A ground-breaking and stylish biography of one of the most misunderstood and yet towering figures in contemporary thought, destined to become a modern classic.

Sales points • LITERARY/HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE: This book arrives when there is a real hunger for serious, sophisticated and nuanced studies of misrepresented figures. Prideaux is the author to paint the truest picture of Nietzsche • HUGE PRIZE POTENTIAL: Prideaux's books have won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Duff Cooper Prize for non-fiction, and have been shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize and the Sheridan Morley Prize for theatre biography • UNIVERSALLY RESPECTED: Effusive praise for Prideaux's biographical work has come from high-profile writers and critics such as John Carey, John Banville, Sam Leith, Antony Beevor, and more

Description Who hasn't heard of 'God is dead' or 'That which does not kill us makes us stronger'? Friedrich Nietzsche's work forms the bedrock of our contemporary thought, and yet a shroud of misunderstanding surrounds the philosopher behind these proclamations.

The time is right for a new take on Nietzsche's extraordinary life, whose importance as a thinker rivals that of Freud or Marx. From his classical education to seemingly familiar ideas such as the Ubermensch, I Am Dynamite! contains unrivalled insight into Nietzsche and charges of anti-Semitism, his relationship with Wagner, Nietzsche and music, Nietzsche's familial relationships, mental illness, women and - above all - Nietzsche's position in the grand tiers of twentieth-century thought and ideas.

With Sue Prideaux's eminent and vivid scholarship, we are lucky to have a rare thing on our hands: fluent, transparent writing which also does justice to the complexity of the subject-matter.

A unique insight into a conductor's world.

Description A conductor is one of classical music's most recognizable figures. Many people who have never actually been to an orchestral concert have an image of what one looks like. But rarely does such a well-known profession attract so many questions: 'Surely orchestras can play perfectly well without you? Do you really make any difference to the performance?' This book is not intended to be an instruction manual for conductors, nor is it a history of conducting. It is for all who wonder what conductors actually do. Exploring the relationships with the musicians and music they conduct, and the public and personal responsibilities they face, leading conductor Mark Wigglesworth writes with engaging honesty about the role for any music lover curious to know whether or not the profession really matters.

About the Author Mark Wigglesworth has been conducting for thirty years, working with over a hundred orchestras and collaborating with many of the world's finest orchestra musicians, soloists, singers, and directors in venues ranging from Vienna's Musikverein to New York's Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House to the Hollywood Bowl, and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden to the Metropolitan Opera, New York. He has written articles for The Guardian and The Independent, made a six-part BBC TV series entitled 'Everything to Play For,' and recorded a highly acclaimed cycle of Shostakovich symphonies. In 2017 he won the Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera.

Faber Music NOVEMBER 2018 The Faber Book of French Cinema Charles Drazin

In The Faber Book of French Cinema, Charles Drazin explores the rich film culture and history of the country that first established cinema as the most important mass medium of the twentieth century.

Sales points • A new paperback edition of the critically-acclaimed study of French Cinema, its history and culture • A thoroughly accessible and well-written history • French cinema has enjoyed a huge resurgence, with A Prophet attracting huge audiences and winning the Grand Prix at Cannes

Description In The Faber Book of French Cinema, Charles Drazin explores the rich film culture and history of the country that first established the cinema as the most important mass medium of the twentieth century.

Offering portraits of such key figures as the Lumiere brothers, Georges Melies, Charles Pathe and Leon Gaumont, he looks at the early pioneers who transformed a fairground novelty into a global industry. The crisis caused by the First World War led France to surrender her position as the world's dominant film-making power, but French cinema forged a new role for itself as a beacon of cinematic possibility and achievement.

Suggesting a Gallic attitude that has always considered the cinema to be as much a cause as a business, Drazin looks at the extraordinary resilience of the French film industry during the Second World War when, in spite of the national catastrophe of defeat and occupation, it was still able to produce such classics as Le Corbeau and Les Enfants du Paradis.

Finally, he traces its remarkable post-war regeneration. He looks at the seminal impact of the New Wave of film-makers - typified by Truffaut and Godard - but also at the other waves that have followed since. As he brings the story into the twenty-first century - with Jacques Audaird's award-winning A Prophet - he seeks to capture the essence of the French Price: AU $35.00 NZ $39.99 film tradition and why it continues to matter to anyone who cares about the cinema.

Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose.

A hilarious quest to understand life's ultimate guilty pleasure - in a beautiful gift package.

Sales points • A smart and fun stocking-filler from the author of the popular The Book of Human Emotions (30,000 copies sold with over 3000 sold in ANZ) • With its lists of Schadenfreude scenarios and rules on how to deal with them, this is the perfect book for our times (think polarised politics, twitter trolls and 'sidebars of shame') • Will appeal to readers of On Bullshit and On the Pleasure of Hating

Description 'Nothing makes the world gleam like bad people getting the fate they deserve. For one glorious moment, the stars align, the universe delivers, and the commuter who barged past us all down the station stairs misses the train'

Schadenfreude - enjoying the pain and failures of others - is an all-too-familiar feeling. It has perplexed philosophers and psychologists for centuries but, in a time of polarised politics, twitter trolls and 'sidebars of shame', has never been more relevant. Recent studies have shown that we smile more at a rival's loss than at our own success. No wonder we're said to be living in the 'Age of Schadenfreude'. But why can it be so much fun to witness another's distress? And what, if anything, should we do about it?

In Schadenfreude, historian of emotions Tiffany Watt Smith offers expert insight and advice. Ranging across thinkers from Nietzsche to Homer Simpson, investigating the latest scientific research, and collecting some outrageous confessions on the way - she reveals how everyone, babies, nuns, your most trusted friends, are enjoying your misfortunes. But rather than an emotional glitch, she argues, Schadenfreude can reveal profound truths about our relationships with others and our sense of who we are.

Frank, warm and laugh-out-loud funny, Schadenfreude makes the case for thinking afresh about this much-maligned

A ground-breaking exploration of how architecture affects our health from one of Britain's finest writers.

Sales points • Exciting new territory from one of Britain's best loved and bestselling writers on cities and place • Accompanies a major Wellcome Collection exhibition on the same subject, with significant marketing and publicity campaigns • A new approach to topical and urgent themes including the housing crisis and safety in tower blocks in light of the Grenfell Tower tragedy

Description Buildings shape our lives and our health. They affect how we sleep, work, socialise and even breathe. They can isolate us, make us sick or put us in danger, but they can also heal. We, in turn, make our buildings an extension of ourselves: our hopes, fears and vanities. The structures we choose to inhabit absorb our histories and leave traces for future generations to read.

In Living With Buildings Iain Sinclair embarks on a series of journeys - through London, Marseilles, the Outer Hebrides and Sweden - to explore the conflicted relationship between sickness and structure. He investigates the connection between art, architecture, social planning and health, and considers the notion that we refine our own pathologies until we locate the buildings in which to place them.

A father and his daughter, who suffers from a rare syndrome, return to the estate where they once lived. A whalebone box, a fetish made for contemplation of mortality, is carried back to the Isle of Harris with unexpected consequences. Part travelogue, part polemic, part poem, Living With Buildings brings Sinclair's writing to new and exciting places.

How language outsmarts its would-be masters, by the Economist's language columnist.

Sales points • The story of people who wanted to 'fix' language • Will appeal to readers of Sam Leith, Oliver Kamm and Steven Pinker • Full of dinner party-ready facts and vignettes

Description Language is a wild animal: rough, ambiguous, inconsistent in countless ways. But that just makes it all the more tempting to tame it. Many have tried, from sticklers for supposedly correct grammar to inventors of supposedly perfect languages; from software engineers working on machine translation to governments that see language management as politics by another means. But when you enter the lair of a wild beast, you can be lucky to escape with your wits.

Join Lane Greene on a journey of discovery into the deep strangeness of language. Learn why grammar rules can never capture the extraordinary variety of ordinary usage. See what happens when you try to design a language that really makes sense. Find out why, for all the talk of decline in English, no language in recorded history has ever gone to the dogs, or ever could. And learn the fate of those bold individuals who, through heroism or ignorance, ventured to teach their tongue some new tricks.

About the Author Lane Greene writes the Johnson column about language for The Economist. His book about the politics of language, You Are What You Speak: Grammar Grouches, Language Laws, and the Politics of Identity, was published by Delacorte Press in 2011.

Profile Trade NOVEMBER 2018 How To Think Alan Jacobs

The world is telling you what to think. Here's how to resist.

Sales points • New in paperback • If we can learn to think together, perhaps we can learn to live together • Warm and witty moral essay in the tradition of On Bullshit and This Is Water • Addresses hot topics such as identity politics and post-truth from a surprising angle • 'Witty, engaging, and ultimately hopeful, Jacobs's guide is sorely needed in a society where partisanship too often trumps the pursuit of knowledge.' - Publishers Weekly • 'As much as this book is a manual, it's also a self-portrait of a particular mind, whose style and skills are ballast against the cognitive turbulence of our time. Reading How to Think feels like riding in a small but sturdy boat, Alan Jacobs your pilot through turbulent waters - and if you're eager to get where he's taking you, you're also grateful for the chance to simply watch him do his thing.' - Robin Sloan, author of Mr Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

Description How to Think is a contrarian treatise on why we're not as good at thinking as we assume - but how recovering this lost art can rescue our inner lives from the chaos of modern life.

Most of us don't want to think, writes the American essayist Alan Jacobs. Thinking is trouble. It can force us out of familiar, comforting habits, and it can complicate our relationships with like-minded friends. Finally, thinking is slow, and that's a problem when our habits of consuming information (mostly online) leave us lost in the echo chamber of social media, where speed and factionalism trump accuracy and nuance.

In this clever, witty book, Jacobs diagnoses the many forces that prevent thought - forces that have only worsened in the age of Twitter, such as 'alternative facts', and information overload. He also dispels the many myths we hold about what it means to think well. (For example: it's impossible to 'think for yourself'.)

Mary Shelley as never before - a new biography that shows the woman behind Frankenstein.

Sales points • New in paperback • Written by an award-winning writer and poet, Fiona Sampson • The first biography of Mary Shelley for over 15 years and the first to really look at the woman and who she was • Frankenstein was published 1 January 1818; 2018's bicentenary coverage has included the release of the biopic Mary Shelley (Australia: 26 July) • 'If we get another literary biography in 2018 as astute and feelingful as this one, we shall be lucky.' - Sunday Times • 'Gripping, vivid ... a fascinating book' - The Times • 'Daringly swift and enjoyably irreverent' - Observer • 'Sampson is as adept as Frankenstein himself, giving life to a figure who convincingly aches and bleeds' - Guardian

Description Mary Shelley was brought up by her father in a house filled with radical thinkers, poets, philosophers and writers of the day. Aged sixteen, she eloped with Percy Bysshe Shelley, embarking on a relationship that was lived on the move across Britain and Europe, as she coped with debt, infidelity and the deaths of three children, before early widowhood changed her life forever. Most astonishingly, it was while she was still a teenager that Mary composed her canonical novel Frankenstein, creating two of our most enduring archetypes today.

The life story is well-known. But who was the woman who lived it? She's left plenty of evidence, and in this fascinating dialogue with the past, Fiona Sampson sifts through letters, diaries and records to find the real woman behind the story. She uncovers a complex, generous character - friend, intellectual, lover and mother - trying to fulfil her own passionate commitment to writing at a time when to be a woman writer was an extraordinary and costly anomaly.

Published for the 200th anniversary of the publication of Frankenstein, this is a major new work of biography by a prize-

Profile Trade NOVEMBER 2018 Raffles Victoria Glendinning

The authoritative biography of the 'Father of Singapore'.

Sales points • Newly updated for 200th anniversary of foundation of Singapore • Great reviews for the first non-literary biography by respected biographer and novelist Victoria Glendinning • Previous paperback edition sold over 10,000 copies

Description By the time of his death, Thomas Stamford Raffles (1781-1826) was the founder of Singapore and Governor of Java, having left school in his early teens to become a clerk for the British East India Company. Charismatic and daring, Raffles forged an extraordinary path for himself in South East Asia - refusing to be satisfied with the trading posts available to the British, he defied Dutch governors and wrangled with warring local rulers to establish what is now a world city.

An ardent linguist and zoologist, Raffles spoke fluent Malay and found time to write The History of Java, as well as naming several species of flora and fauna he discovered on his travels. He founded London Zoo and promoted the study of Malay alongside European languages in Southeast Asia.

Raffles remains a controversial figure - a utopian imperialist, disobedient employee and knight of the realm who died deeply in debt, predeceased by all but one of his children. He built racial segregation into his urban planning, but was also a staunch abolitionist. Renowned biographer Victoria Glendinning charts Raffles' prodigious rise in this new edition, specially updated for the bicentenary of the foundation of Singapore in 1819. His life was short, complicated and shot through with tragedy, but Raffles' fame lives on.

An Illustrated Directory to The Commonwealth War Graves.

Sales points • This first fully illustrated guide to the war graves celebrates 100 years of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission • Includes content on Gallipoli • Combines a history of the CWGC with a detailed guide to the top 10 sites • Perfectly timed to coincide with the celebration of the end of WW1 • 'Today, visitors to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's cemeteries and memorials are more numerous than at any other time in our hundred year history.'

Description A Guide to The Commonwealth War Graves Commission looks at an extraordinary organisation carrying out an extraordinary task. Establishing the CWGC required people of huge vision to turn this terrible task into an international exemplar of how to honour the dead. The great founders, including Rudyard Kipling, took their task extremely seriously and devoted decades to designing and delivering their vision. As they enter their second century of operation, the CWGC Commissioners and staff around the world remain dedicated to holding high the torch of remembrance, conserving these special places so that the memories of those we look after are never lost to time.

This guidebook is intended to show you some of the CWGC's treasures - to tell you more about a well-loved organisation and who they commemorate. It reviews the records and archives from the last century, explores the top CWGC sites alongside detailed maps (including Essex Farm Cemetery, Belgium; the Thiepval Memorial, France; Kohima War Cemetery, India; Tower Hill Memorial UK and more), highlights places not easily reached - and those most challenging to maintain - and summarises a view for the future. Featuring extracts from the remarkable archives in Maidenhead, which include records from the Commission's foundation up to the present day, this illustrated guide celebrates a century of dedication to the fallen and the CWGF commitment to engaging the wider community in the story of our common sacrifice and shared history.

Third Millennium NOVEMBER 2018 How the World Thinks Julian Baggini

The first ever global overview of philosophy: how it developed around the world and impacted the cultures in which it flourished.

Sales points • From the critically acclaimed popular philosopher, the first ever global overview of philosophy: how it developed around the world and impacted the cultures in which it flourished • A fresh take on international relations and cultural difference, broadening the traditional Western perspective with Chinese, Japanese, Muslim, American, African and Indian ways of thinking • 'Baggini has that rare but wonderful gift of being able to be at once profound and highly entertaining.' Alexander McCall Smith

Description All cultures are different, and have different ways of thinking.

In How the World Thinks, Julian Baggini travels the globe to provide a hugely wide-ranging map of human thought. He shows us how distinct branches of philosophy flowered simultaneously in China, India and Ancient Greece, growing from local myths and stories - and how contemporary cultural attitudes, with particular attention to the West, East Asia, the Muslim World and Africa, have developed out of the philosophical histories of their regions.

Interviewing thinkers from all around the world, he asks why, for instance, do our European systems of governments and justice differ so widely from the East? Why can Islam not easily incorporate secular knowledge? How do we understand China? By gaining greater knowledge of how others think, we can become less certain of the knowledge we think we have, the first step to greater understanding.

A beautifully illustrated, mesmerising investigation of wonder and its importance to our future.

Sales points • New in paperback • Takes readers from Aboriginal Australian landscapes to medieval Europe and sacred sites in Great Britain • 'This book does exactly what it says on the cover, and shows us where wonder is to be found. His account of familiar phenomena shows how unfamiliar and extraordinary they really are.' - Philip Pullman • 'A study of awe written by a writer who evokes the fascination of the natural world as eye-openingly as anyone I've read.' - Observer • 'Henderson does a wonderful job... you can't read the life chapter without being struck by the contingency of it all - the accident of our existence.' - The Times • 'Delightfully crammed with fascinating facts... the illustrations are wondrous themselves... Lovely and funny.' - Spectator • 'A wondrous brew of science, history, and sheer exhilaration. Read it and marvel.' - Sarah Bakewell, author of At the Existentialist Cafe

Description We live in a world that is known, every corner thoroughly explored. But has this knowledge cost us the ability to wonder? Wonder, Caspar Henderson argues, is at its most supremely valuable in just such a world because it reaffirms our humanity and gives us hope for the future. That's the power of wonder, and that's what we should aim to cultivate in our lives. But what are the wonders of the modern world?

Henderson's brilliant exploration borrows from the form of one of the oldest and most widely known sources of wonder: maps. Large, detailed mappae mundi invited people in medieval Europe to vividly imagine places and possibilities they had never seen before: manticores with the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the stinging tail of a scorpion; tribes of one-eyed men who fought griffins for diamonds; and fearsome Scythian warriors who drank the blood of their enemies

Description Apostrophes are a f'ing pain. The rules about how to use them are complicated, and have evolved haphazardly.

Originally written as advice by a copywriter for designers - wont to insert and remove apostrophes at will, for visual effect - this is a light-hearted, pocket-sized guide to getting the f'ing things right.

Simon Griffin lets off steam so that we don't have to, showing precisely why 'Rhianna and Jennifer's photos were all over the internet' is quite different to 'Rhianna's and Jennifer's photos' or what words apostrophes are replacing in sentences such as 'He'd like you to buy him some cocaine', or 'They've got it all on camera.'

Icon NOVEMBER 2018 Hitler's British Traitors Tim Tate

The first authoritative account of a well-kept secret: the British Fifth Column and its activities during the Second World War.

Sales points • A dark tale from World War Two, told by an award-winning documentary maker and investigative journalist • Draws upon recently declassified official files

Description Hitler's British Traitors is the first authoritative account of a well-kept secret: the British Fifth Column and its activities during the Second World War.

Drawing on hundreds of declassified official files - many of them previously unpublished - Tim Tate uncovers the largely unknown history of more than 70 British traitors who were convicted, mostly in secret trials, of working to help Nazi Germany win the war, and several hundred British Fascists who were interned without trial on evidence that they were working on behalf of the enemy. Four were condemned to death; two were executed.

This engrossing book reveals the extraordinary methods adopted by MI5 to uncover British traitors and their German spymasters, as well as two serious wartime plots by well-connected British fascists to mount a coup d'etat which would replace the government with an authoritarian pro-Nazi regime.

The book also shows how archaic attitudes to social status and gender in Whitehall and the courts ensured that justice was neither fair nor equitable. Aristocratic British pro-Nazi sympathizers and collaborators were frequently protected while the less-privileged foot soldiers of the Fifth Column were interned, jailed or even executed for identical crimes.

CERN and the Higgs boson hit the headlines and made particle physics exciting for non-scientists - here's the inside story.

Sales points • The sixth book in Icon's Hot Science series, exploring the cutting-edge of science and technology • The story of CERN, the world's most famous laboratory, as told by an insider

Description The Higgs boson is the rock star of fundamental particles, catapulting CERN, the laboratory where it was found, into the global spotlight. But what is it, why does it matter, and what exactly is CERN?

In the late 1940s, a handful of visionaries were working to steer Europe towards a more peaceful future through science, and CERN, the European particle physics laboratory, was duly born. James Gillies tells the gripping story of particle physics, from the original atomists of ancient Greece, through the people who made the crucial breakthroughs, to CERN itself, one of the most ambitious scientific undertakings of our time, and its eventual confirmation of the Higgs boson.

Weaving together the scientific and political stories of CERN's development, the book reveals how particle physics has evolved from being the realm of solitary genius to a global field of human endeavour, with CERN's Large Hadron Collider as its frontier research tool.

About the Author James Gillies is a member of the Strategic Planning and Evaluation unit at CERN. He was Head of the Organization's communications group from 2003 to 2015, and is co-author of How the Web was Born, a history of the Internet published in 2000 and described by the Times as being among the year's ten best books for inquisitive minds.

Description A terrible epidemic has struck the country and the sound of children's speech has become lethal. Radio transmissions from strange sources indicate that people are going into hiding. All Sam and Claire need to do is look around the neighbourhood: in the park, parents wither beneath the powerful screams of their children. At night, suburban side streets become routes of shameful escape for fathers trying to get outside the radio of affliction.

With Claire nearing collapse, it seems their only means of survival is to flee from their daughter, Esther, who laughs at her parents sickness, unaware that in just a few years, she too, will be susceptible to the language toxicity. But Sam and Claire find it isn't so easy to leave the daughter they still love, even as they waste away from her malevolent speech. On the eve of their departure, Claire mysteriously disappears, and Sam, determined to find a cure for this new toxic language, presses on alone into a world beyond recognition.

'Live by your own rules' - Robert Greene, the 'modern Machiavelli' debunks the prevailing mythology of success and presents a radical new way to greatness.

Sales points • Reissued alongside publication of The Laws of Human Nature • Eagerly-awaited successor to bestselling The 48 Laws of Power • Economic climate and exceptionally tough jobs market means people are looking for new and radical approaches to success • Cross-market appeal in business and self-improvement genres • His previous book The 50th Law, co-authored with rapper 50 Cent, sold over 30,000 copies (6000 in ANZ) • Category: Popular Psychology

Description Around the globe, people are facing the same problem - that we are born as individuals but are forced to conform to the rules of society if we want to succeed. To see our uniqueness expressed in our achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then how to change them completely.

Charles Darwin began as an underachieving schoolboy, Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast. The secret of their eventual greatness lies in a 'rigorous apprenticeship': by paying close and careful attention, they learnt to master the 'hidden codes' which determine ultimate success or failure. Then they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own individuality, blasting previous patterns of achievement open from within.

Told through Robert Greene's signature blend of historical anecdote and psychological insight and drawing on interviews with world leaders, Mastery builds on the strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and how to start living by your own rules.

Description In an age of treachery everyone must pick a side...

Newly returned from years of secret work in Paris, Lieutenant Holcroft Blood, a brilliant but unusual gunnery officer in His Majesty's Ordnance, must now face King James II's enemies on the gore-drenched battlefields of the British Isles.

But after the victory at Sedgemoor - and its cruel aftermath, the Bloody Assizes, in which the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion was ruthlessly crushed - many powerful men have grown tired of Catholic James' brutal, autocratic rule and seek to invite William, the Protestant Prince of Orange, to seize the thrones of the Three Kingdoms.

While revolution brews in the gentlemen's clubs of London, Holcroft discovers that a sinister French agent, known only by his code name Narrey, has followed him across the Channel and intends to murder him. Worse, Holcroft must decide whether to join the conspirators, including his old friend Jack Churchill, now Lord Marlborough, and support Dutch William's invasion - or remain loyal to his unpopular king.

Description Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far.

Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defence.

Profile Trade NOVEMBER 2018 On the Edge Diarmaid Ferriter

The first ever really honest account of the reality of Ireland's offshore islands.

Sales points • Diarmaid Ferriter is the best historian writing about Ireland today • He has sold over 25,000 books for Profile • Shatters all the cheerful illusions about the romance of island living past and present

Description The islands off the coast of Ireland have long been a source of fascination. Seen as repositories of an ancient Irish culture and the epitome of Irish romanticism, they have attracted generations of scholars, artists and filmmakers, from James Joyce to Robert O'Flaherty, looking for a way of life uncontaminated by modernity or materialism.

But the reality for islanders has been a lot more complex. They faced poverty, hardship and official hostility, even while being expected to preserve an ancient culture and way of life. Writing in her 1936 autobiography, Peig Sayers, resident of Blaskets island, described it as 'this dreadful rock'. In 1841, there were 211 inhabited islands with a combined population of 38,000; by 2011, only 64 islands were inhabited, with a total population of 8,500. And younger generations continue to leave.

By documenting the island experiences and the social, cultural and political reaction to them over the last 100 years, On the Edge examines why this exodus has happened, and the gulf between the rhetoric that elevated island life and the reality of the political hostility towards them.It uncovers, though state and private archives, personal memoirs, newspaper coverage, and the author's personal travels, the realities behind the ""dreadful rocks"", and the significance of the experiences of, and reactions to, those who were and remain, literally, on the very edge of European civilisation.

Profile Trade NOVEMBER 2018 How the World Thinks Julian Baggini

The first ever global overview of philosophy: how it developed around the world and impacted the cultures in which it flourished.

Sales points • From the critically acclaimed popular philosopher, the first ever global overview of philosophy: how it developed around the world and impacted the cultures in which it flourished • A fresh take on international relations and cultural difference, broadening the traditional Western perspective with Chinese, Japanese, Muslim, American, African and Indian ways of thinking • 'Baggini has that rare but wonderful gift of being able to be at once profound and highly entertaining.' Alexander McCall Smith

Description All cultures are different, and have different ways of thinking.

In How the World Thinks, Julian Baggini travels the globe to provide a hugely wide-ranging map of human thought. He shows us how distinct branches of philosophy flowered simultaneously in China, India and Ancient Greece, growing from local myths and stories - and how contemporary cultural attitudes, with particular attention to the West, East Asia, the Muslim World and Africa, have developed out of the philosophical histories of their regions.

Interviewing thinkers from all around the world, he asks why, for instance, do our European systems of governments and justice differ so widely from the East? Why can Islam not easily incorporate secular knowledge? How do we understand China? By gaining greater knowledge of how others think, we can become less certain of the knowledge we think we have, the first step to greater understanding.

Granta NOVEMBER 2018 100 Years of Leeds United Daniel Chapman

The definitive account of Leeds United's first century.

Sales points • The story of a one-club city and its tumultuous relationship with its football team

Description Published to coincide with the club's centenary celebrations

100 Years of Leeds United tells the story of a one-club city and its tumultuous relationship with its football team.

Since its foundation in 1919, Leeds United Football Club has seen more ups and downs than most, rising to global fame through an inimitable and uncompromising style in the 70s, clinching the last Division One title of the pre-Sky Sports era in 1992, before becoming the epitome of financial mismanagement at the start of the 21st century.

Despite this demise, United remains one of the best supported - and most divisive - clubs in football, with supporters' clubs dotted across the globe.

In 100 Years of Leeds United, Chapman delves deep into the archives to discover the lesser-known episodes, providing fresh context to the folkloric tales that have shaped the club we know today, painting the definitive picture of the West Yorkshire giants.

About the Author Daniel Chapman has been the editor of Leeds United fanzine The Square Ball since 2011. During that time, The Square Ball has been shortlisted for the Football Supporters' Federation Fanzine of the Year award six times, winning on two occasions.
