Book excerpt: Long before Battle Royale or The Hunger Games, the author of The Planet of the Apes imagined a world governed by science and brutality gone mad in this long-neglected, dystopian sci-fi classic, now in a new translation Despairing at the state of world degeneration, a group of the world's most renowned intellectuals form the new Scientific World Government, aiming to put the world to rights. Elected into power, they quickly start making changes for the better, eliminating world hunger and cancer, encouraging scientific thought, and banning frivolous entertainment. But while congratulating themselves on a job well done, they fail to notice that actually, people are not happy. The suicide rate has sky-rocketed and, strangely, it turns out the public wants a little risk and conflict in their lives. So to cater to the masses, the Department of Psychology forms a plan: they will stage an entertainment show the likes of which the world has never seen before. It starts with gladiatorial style battles, bloodthirsty and brutal, where the victors become celebrities of unseen proportions, and quickly escalates into entire historical battle re-enactments involving chemical warfare and mass destruction. The Scientific World Government has unleashed a monster. What has the world let itself in for?

Book Haul out

    Book Details:
  • Author : Stephen Tudor
  • Publisher : Wayne State University Press
  • Release : 1996
  • ISBN : 9780814326596
  • Pages : 172 pages

Download or read book Haul out written by Stephen Tudor and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haul-Out is the final collection of new and selected poetry by Stephen Tudor, who was a professor of English at Wayne State University. A devoted mariner, Tudor wrote of his passions: sailing and the Great Lakes. Along with the best poems from Tudor's Hangdog Reef, this spirited volume features forty-three unpublished poems written before he was lost at sea in 1994. Tudor captures the shifting moods and panoramas of the Great Lakes as seen through the eyes of a sailor. From Beaver Island and the Sleeping Bear Dunes to port towns and industrial cities, Tudor explores the metaphorical rhythm and wonder of the lakes and their surroundings. Not all of the poems in this accomplished and contemplative volume are about sailing. Tudor turns his keen eye on the home and writing among other subjects. In all of his work, he fuses observation of details with larger philosophical questions about life, its challenges, and its mysteries.

It is a place where many retreat.

Since Grandma has been gone, this place has been uninhabited for years, but for the past eight months it has become all mine. Freshly bloomed violets distract me and push my thoughts away. I can’t tell if they’re really purple, the streaks inside are yellow and white, forming something unique. In a moment, the memories take me inexorably, I see myself happy and serene at my parents’ house. Ours is a small town, but we live well there. With my friends we share everything: we like to spend whole afternoons at the beach, bathing and playing in the water, laughing over nothing, noises and words echoing in the air. I have always loved that place at the end of the beach. The sand becomes one with the sky and the sea. I would spend hours admiring this spectacle of nature, breathing serenity, but everything seems so far away.
