My life was like a jigsaw puzzle with a vital piece missing from it and something had inspired me to think that I could find that missing piece again. Based on this hope, I made the decision to go on this journey. A Nameless Place is the story of a British Indian girl, Laxmi Gupta, who is desperately searching for a sense of cultural identity. Having lost her parents in a car accident when she was only two, and later losing her grandmother when she was still a child, Laxmi was sent to a boarding school in London. Now she is 26, single, and frustrated with her life in London. After an intense relationship which fell apart, Laxmi is left broken and confused. She decides to go back to India to resolve some of the questions that have been haunting her for years, but going back to her birthplace unleashes deep secrets, and creates new entanglements that she had not anticipated.

With deft world-building, frantic battle scenes, and a gentle and moving friendship at its heart, the Nameless City has earned its place as one of the great fantasy series of our time.

From the author of The Old Ways and Underland, an "eloquent (and compulsively readable) reminder that, though we're laying waste the world, nature still holds sway over much of the earth's surface." --Bill McKibben Winner of the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature and a finalist for the Orion Book Award Are there any genuinely wild places left in Britain and Ireland? That is the question that Robert Macfarlane poses to himself as he embarks on a series of breathtaking journeys through some of the archipelago's most remarkable landscapes. He climbs, walks, and swims by day and spends his nights sleeping on cliff-tops and in ancient meadows and wildwoods. With elegance and passion he entwines history, memory, and landscape in a bewitching evocation of wildness and its vital importance.

Ten original essays examine the transactions between real places and the literary imagination, including the reinvention of real places in literary form, from 1800 to the present day. They deal with different kinds of locations (islands, countries, cities), the topoi writers use to articulate a sense of place (maps, ruins, landscape, history), their generic manifestations in fiction, travel writing, topography, (auto)biography and poetry, and the theoretical and methodological issues which arise. The focus moves outwards from local to regional and national issues, covering questions of cultural identity, space, representation, historicity, and modernity in England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, the United States, and the South Pacific. The contributors are drawn from both sides of the Atlantic, and include established scholars as well as newer voices.
