Friends of Duckworth, The recipe for the new Duckworth season is an eclectic mix of exciting, intriguing, and highly saleable books. To dive right into this dish, John Hands’ extraordinary COSMOSAPIENS is a study of human evolution from the origins of the universe to now; it tells us how the universe began and we humans evolved. An astonishing book, it often challenges accepted orthodoxy. This book will be argued over. Hurrah! Moving from macro to micro, we have WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE WORLD? placing the humble bird onto a pedestal. Two more works of nonfiction which will excite booksellers and readers are QUEEN OF SPIES by Paddy Hayes and WILDE’S WOMEN by Eleanor Fitzsimmons. The aforementioned spy was Daphne Park, and this is the first biography of Britain’s most celebrated female agent during the Cold War. The Wilde of WILDE’S WOMEN was, of course, Oscar. A husband and a father as well as homosexual, he was the wit and playwright of his generation. Fiction at Duckworth is as important as ever. John Samuel’s WHAT I TELL YOU IN THE DARK, a novel about angels, is both dark and unsettling. Castle Freeman’s THE DEVIL IN THE VALLEY and movie tie-in GO WITH ME (film starring Anthony Hopkins) are literary thrillers; he’s been compared to the Coen Brothers and Cormac McCarthy but is a truly individual prose stylist. FORETOLD BY THUNDER by Edward Davey is a debut novel, a historical conspiracy raising a question of the very survival of Western civilization. Perhaps the distinguished surprise on our list is a major work by Stef Wertheimer, THE HABIT OF LABOR. Now in his late 80s, he is the German born industrialist and philanthropist who built from nothing perhaps the largest industry in Israel. In this extraordinary memoir he describes not only the journey of his life but also his business principles, which he believes should be used in all countries seeking growth, industrial harmony and, in some cases, even peace with their neighbours. Bernard Taylor’s THERE MUST BE EVIL is a Victorian true-crime tale ending with Elizabeth Berry dropped neatly from the gallows. John Spurling returns with ARCADIAN NIGHTS, following his successful novel THE TEN THOUSAND THINGS. In retelling key narratives from the Greek canon, if it’s possible to say this, he makes the stories newly unforgettable. If we put OUP and CUP in a separate category, we believe Duckworth is Britain’s oldest independent book publisher. But our surprising growth suggests we are yet young! Peter Mayer

Hailed as a messenger of the gods, powerful sex symbol, gambling aid, all-purpose medicine, handy research tool, the humble chicken has been also cast the epitome of evil, and the star of the world’s most famous joke.

Beginning with the recent discovery that the chicken’s unlikely ancestor is the T. Rex, this book tracks the chicken from its original domestication in the jungles of Southeast Asia some 10,000 years ago to today’s Western societies - where it became the most engineered of animals – speculating on the uncertain future of what is humanity’s most important source of protein. In a masterful combination of historical sleuthing and journalistic exploration on four continents, Lawler reframes the way we feel and think about all domesticated animals and even nature itself. ‘A splendid book full of obsessive travel and research in history, mythology, archaeology, biology, literature and religion’.

When journalist Jake Wolsey stumbles upon a newly declassified document showing Winston Churchill’s interest in the ancient Etruscan civilisation he is intrigued. However, his curiosity soon turns to fear when an eccentric but terrified archaeology Professor is killed by lightning before he can discuss his discoveries with him. And it doesn’t look like an accident. As Wolsey flees from the attentions of MI6 and other secret services first to Istanbul and then to Ethiopia with the Professor’s glamorous Chinese assistant Florence Chung, more questions than answers arise.

Could an ancient prophecy hold the key to the centuries’ long dominance of the Roman Empire and the rise of Hitler? Are there terrible powers descending from the sky which even modern Science has yet to understand? And is there anybody who doesn’t want to kill him for the secrets of the Etruscans’ sacred text – the Disciplina Etrusca? In a thrilling race against time and enemies - known and unknown - Wolsey begins to wonder if the very survival of Western civilization may depend on his ability to stay one step ahead of his adversaries. E.M.Davey is a 32-year-old journalist at the BBC specialising in undercover investigative journalism. When not working he enjoys travel to far-flung and occasionally dangerous spots to research his fiction or just for the heck of it. He has visited forty-four Countries (and counting).

Set in the American Southwest, forty miles north of Juárez, Casey Gray’s ambitious, tragicomic, and ultimately redemptive novel follows a group of customers and employees through the twentyfour hour work cycle as they seek comfort and sustenance inside of the cinderblock walls of a classic American institution – The Superstore.

On the eve of the company president’s visit to the store, a manager’s drunk text to a co-worker leads to a series of consequences as brutal as they are wide-ranging. Everyone around him will be affected. With a cast of characters featuring Ernesto, a local gang member struggling to choose a job; Wilma, a grandmother working double shifts to support her family; and Keith, a high school student with a penchant for filmmaking, Gray offers a startingly humane, utterly contemporary portrait of life on the suburban fringe. A vision of an America barely getting by and assaulted by crime, corruption, and exploitation in all of its manifestations, Discount is nevertheless a triumphant and big-hearted novel that marks the arrival of a new voice we won’t soon forget. ‘Fans of Jonathan Franzen, T. C. Boyle, Sam Lipsyte and Jonathan Tropper will flock to Gray’s hearty satire of rampant consumerism and corporate arrogance.’ Booklist

It’s about a city he’s going to build that’s going to change the world. And it’s about his brother. It’s about everyone who loves him, and how sad they’re going to be when he’s gone. Can Walt control the future from the grave? Why does his daughter hate him so much? Stay tuned...

SEPTEMBER - NEW TITLES OF ORCAS AND MEN David Neiwert The orca - otherwise known as the killer whale, is one of earth’s most intelligent animals. Remarkably sophisticated, orcas have languages, cultures and even long-term memories, and their capacity for echolocation is nothing short of a sixth sense. They are also benign and gentle, which makes the story of the captive-orca industry and the endangerment of their population in Puget Sound that much more damning.

Superhero characters such as Heracles and Perseus and legendary monsters like the Minotaur and Medusa underlie so much of modern storytelling in Western art, literature, drama and music. The classic Greek myths in which they appear are violent stories of murder, power, revenge, love and traumatic family relationships. Ancient in origin maybe, they are nonetheless right up-to-date in terms of in their portrayal of human character, temperament and emotion.

Taking as his starting point many of the famous tourist sites in the Peloponnese, where the stories took place, ‘master of historical fiction’ (Kirkus) John Spurling freshly imagines key narratives from the Greek canon, including tales of the doomed house of Atreus (notably Agamemnon, leader of the Greeks at Troy, murdered by his wife in his palace bathroom), of the god Apollo, Theseus scourge of the Minotaur, the Twelve Labours of Heracles and Perseus’ rescue of Andromeda. Inspired by the great poets and playwrights - from Homer to Euripides - this exemplary recounting tells us much about human archetypes and the Greek people at the heart of Europe’s economic crisis in a lively and contemporary style. His previous novel The Ten Thousand Things is shortlist for the Walter Scott prize John Spurling is the author of the novels The Ten Thousand Things, The Ragged End, After Zenda and A Book of Liszts. He is a prolific playwright, whose plays have been performed on television, radio and stage, including at the National Theatre. Spurling is a frequent reviewer and was for twelve years the art critic of the New Statesman. He lives in London and Arcadia, Greece, and is married to the biographer Hilary Spurling.

A nameless angel - having unwittingly started the Christian church - has had to watch humanity fall into increasing states of moral disrepair. But this all changes when he spies a business executive named Will, who works for an ethically bankrupt corporation Inviracorp,pray for guidance in a London toilet cubicle. In a moment of weakness and bravado, he decides to ‘take over’ Will – to jump in as he did over two millenniums ago – and try to make amends for the unforeseen consequences that his last act wreaked on the western world. But his divine superiors are less than pleased with his turn of events. Now not only has he to face the literal wrath of God for his actions, but he is also desperate to finish what Will started and bring Inviracorp to judgmentafter one particularly heinous act.

Both hilarious and unsettling, this dark, wry and provocative morality tale is at once the mesmerising story of a modern day everyman and a witty but profound exploration of what there is left to believe in and what divinity itself might entail. One of the few books to successfully mix fantasy with reality. Think Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments crossed with John Le Carre’s The Constant Gardener.

Hailed as a gay icon and pioneer of individualism, Oscar Wilde’s insistence that ‘there should be no law for anybody’ made him a staunch defender of gender equality. Throughout his life from his relationship to his extraordinary mother Jane and the tragedy of his sister Isola’s early death, to his accomplished wife Constance and a coterie of other free-thinking writers, actors and artists, women were a central aspect of his life and career.

Wilde’s Women is the first book to tell the story of his female friends and colleagues who traded witticisms with Wilde but also give him access to vital publicity, and whose ideas he gave expression through his social comedies. Author Eleanor Fitzsimons reframes Wilde’s story and his legacy through the women in his life including such fascinating figures as Florence Balcombe who left him for Bram Stoker, actress Lillie Langtry and his tragic and witty niece Dolly who bore a strong resemblance to the writer and loved fast cars, cocaine and foreign women. Full of fascinating details and anecdotes, Wilde’s Women relates the untold story of how the writer played a vitally sympathetic role on behalf of many women and how they supported him in the midst of a Victorian society in the process of changing forever. Eleanor Fitzsimons is a researcher, writer, journalist and occasional broadcaster specialising in historical and current feminist issues. Her work has been published in a range of newspapers and journals including The Sunday Times, The Guardian and The Irish Times and she is a regular radio and television contributor.

In this first biography for twenty years of any Cold War British spy – the defectors Philby and Blake apart - Paddy Hayes recounts the fascinating story of the evolution of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) from World War II to the Cold War and beyond through the eyes of one of its outstanding and most unusual operatives. He provides the reader with one of the most intimate narratives yet of how the modern SIS actually went about its business whether in Moscow, Hanoi or the Congo. Queen of Spies captures the paranoia, the real life ‘wilderness of mirrors’ aspect of intelligence work finally unveiling all that it may be possible to know about the life of one of Britain’s most celebrated spies. Paddy Hayes was born in Cork and educated in Dublin and Harvard, Massachusetts. He has spent five decades researching the world of intelligence whilst developing business intelligence and market research companies from his native Ireland. His interest in politics extends to acting as a constituency Director of Elections in the last two general elections in Ireland.

NOVEMBER - NEW TITLES COSMOSAPIENS: Human Evolution From The Origin Of The Universe John Hands ‘A truly exceptional piece of work.’ Tim Crane, Knightbridge Professor of Philosophy, Cambridge University Specialist scientific fields are developing at incredibly swift speeds, but what can they really tell us about how the universe began and how we humans evolved to play such a dominant role on Earth? John Hands’s extraordinarily ambitious quest is to bring together this scientific knowledge ISBN: 9780715649558 and evaluate without bias or preconception all PRICE: £30.00 the theories and evidence about the origin and PUBLICATION: 05/11/2015 evolution of matter, life, consciousness, and CATEGORY: POPULAR SCIENCE EXTENT: 608 pp humankind. This astonishing book provides the FORMAT: ROYAL HARDBACK most comprehensive account yet of current ideas EXCLUSIVE: UK/IRE/CW such as cosmic inflation, dark matter, the selfish NOT FOR SALE: US/CAN BIC: PDZ/PGK/PSAJ gene, and neurogenetic determinism. In the clearest possible prose it differentiates the firmly established from the speculative and examines the claims of various fields such as string theory to approach a unified theory of everything. In doing so, it challenges the orthodox consensus in those branches of cosmology, biology, and neuroscience that have ossified into dogma. Its striking analysis reveals underlying patterns of cooperation, complexification, and convergence that lead to the unique emergence in humans of a self-reflective consciousness that enables us to determine our future evolution. This groundbreaking book is destined to become a classic of scientific thinking. John Hands has devoted the last ten years to evaluating scientific theories about human evolution from the origin of the universe. He graduated in chemistry from the University of London and subsequently co-authored two research studies and published one non-fiction book in the social sciences. He was appointed founding Director of the Government’s Co-operative Housing Agency, after which he has tutored in both physics and management studies for the Open University. He has written three novels and has been published in eight countries.

PAPERBACK ROUNDUPS THE LAST ESCAPER Peter Tunstall The product of a lifetime’s reflection, ‘The Last Escaper’ is Peter Tunstall’s unforgettable memoir of his days in the RAF and as one of the most celebrated of all British POWs. Tunstall was an infamous tormentor of his German captors, dubbed the ‘cooler king’ (on account of his long spells in ‘solitary’), but also a highly skilled pilot, loyal friend and trusted colleague.

‘The Last Escaper’ is a charming and hugely informative last testament written by ‘the last man standing’ from the Colditz generation who risked their lives in the Second World War. It will take its place as one of the classic first-hand accounts of that momentous conflict. Peter Tunstall joined the RAF in 1937 and flew numerous combat missions before his capture off the Dutch coast. After spells in several German POW camps and many audacious and imaginative escape attempts, he was imprisoned in Colditz alongside other celebrated POW legends including Douglas Bader, Pat Reid and Airey Neave. This is the first and only book in which his unique and compelling story is told.

FINDING ARTHUR Adam Ardrey The legend of King Arthur has been told and retold for centuries. As the king who united a nation, his is the story of England itself. But what if Arthur wasn’t English at all? As writer and activist, Adam Ardrey discovered the reason historians have had little success identifying the historical Arthur may be incredibly simple: he wasn’t an Englishman at all. He was from Scotland.

Finding Arthur chronicles Ardrey’s unlikely quest to uncover the secret of Scotland’s greatest king and conqueror, which has been hiding in plain sight for centuries. His research began as a simple exploration of a notable Scottish clan, but quickly it became clear that many of the familiar symbols of Arthurian legend - the Round Table, the Sword in the Stone, are based on very real and still accessible places in the Scottish Highlands. Adam Ardrey is the author of Finding Merlin: The Truth Behind the Legend of the Great Arthurian Mage. He is a writer and lawyer, and has previously worked in television.

THE GOATIBEX CONSTELLATION Fazil Iskander Translated from the Russian by Helen Burlingame

ISBN: 9780715650011 PRICE: £10.99 PUBLICATION: 02/07/2015 CATEGORY:FICTION EXTENT: 160 pp FORMAT: TRADE PAPERBACK EXCLUSIVE: UK/IRE NOT FOR SALE: US/CAN/ANZ BIC: F

Praised by The New York Times Book Review as “an Abkhazian Mark Twain,” Fazil Iskander was one of the most acclaimed writers in the Soviet Union - and also one of the funniest. The Goatibex Constellation is the story of a young newspaperman who returns to his native Abkhazia and is soon caught up in the publicity campaign for a newly produced farm animal: a cross between a goat and a West Caucasian tur. What follows is a vicious and hilarious satire of the Soviet Union’s top-down approach to agriculture, genetics . . . and just about everything else. Harshly criticized at home upon its publication in 1966, The Goatibex Constellation is as fresh, imaginative, and damning today as it was then. Fazil Iskander was born in 1929, in Sukhumi, in the Soviet Union. He is the author of many stories, novels, and novellas, including Sandro of Chegem and Rabbits and Boa Constrictors, also published by Ardis. He lives in Moscow.

AN ORDINARY STORY: A NOVEL Ivan Goncharov Before Ivan Goncharov wrote Oblomov, one of the most acclaimed and enduring classics of Russian literature, there was An Ordinary Story, his debut, which was immediately hailed by critics upon its publication in 1847. An Ordinary Story describes the coming of age of Alexander Aduyev, a romantic young man from the provinces who moves to Petersburg in search of love and a career. Psychologically acute in its delineation of Aduyev’s relationship with his successful and unsentimental mentor uncle, this is a work of complexity and great charm. Featuring a stage adaptation, this edition of An Ordinary Story will enhance Goncharov’s reputation as one of the legends of Russian literary history.

Ivan Goncharov (1812-1891) was one of the most important writers of the nineteenth century. He spent most of his life as a civil servant, eventually becoming a censor. In addition to An Ordinary Story and Oblomov, he published The Precipice, a novel, and The Frigate Pallada, an account of his travels on an 1853 international expedition.
