Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Time Machine by H. G. Wells is a science fiction classic, which lends itself well to visualization. This version, illustrated by Yoann Laurent-Rouault, an illustrator master who graduated from the Beaux-Arts, and published in the international literary collection Memoria Books, is a reference on the time travel theme. Wells transports us in the year 802 701, in a society made up of the “Elois”, who live peacefully in a kind of big Garden of Eden, eating fruits and sleeping high up, while underground lives another species, also descending from men, the “Morlocks”, who do not stand the light anymore, living in the dark for too long now. At night, they return to the surface, going back up by the wells, in order to kidnap some Elois that they eat ; these last became livestock unknowingly. In The Time Machine, made into a movie several times, the last of them in 2002 by Simon Wells, the great-grandson of H. G. Wells, time is both a pretext to move the class struggle and warn... and also, in a way, a full character, who fascinates, arbitrates, transcends... The illustrations come to reinforce the time travel and provide a new experience to the reader.

Book excerpt: In this dazzling literary debut, Rebecca Curtis displays the gifts that make her one of the most talented writers of her generation. Her characters—young women struggling to find happiness, love, success, security, and adventure—wait tables, run away from home, fall for married men, betray their friends, and find themselves betrayed as well. In "Hungry Self," a young waitress descends into the basement of a seemingly ordinary Chinese restaurant; in "Twenty Grand," a young wife tries to recover her lost fortune; in "Monsters," one family's paranoia leads to a sacrifice; and in "The Witches," an innocent swim on prom night proves more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. With elegant prose and a wicked sense of humor, these stories reveal Curtis's provocative and uncompromising view of life, one that makes her writing so poignant and irresistible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have so many cultures created what we call imaginative literature in the past, and still do? What prompts so many people to read literature? And how are we to understand the economy that links these producers and consumers? These and related questions plagued the author for a couple of decades before he began to set down the results of his research into the roles and functions that creative writing has had in various societies. More and more, the evidence seemed to point towards our feelings about the effects of time on our lives, and our memories of special places that enchanted or changed us. He illustrates his findings by examining a wide range of literary artifacts.

Download or read book The Time Machine written by Herbert Wells and published by Aegitas. This book was released on 2023-05-07 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Time Machine by H. G. Wells is a science fiction novel that was first published in 1895. The story follows an unnamed Time Traveller who builds a machine that can transport him through time. He travels to the year 802,701 AD where he encounters two distinct species of human-like creatures, the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi are childlike and peaceful, living above ground in a utopian society, while the Morlocks are savage and cannibalistic, living underground in darkness. Wells uses his narrative to explore the themes of evolution, class struggle, and the dangers of technological advancement. The Time Traveller's journey through time serves as a commentary on the consequences of social and technological progress. The Eloi and the Morlocks represent two extremes of human evolution, with the former being the result of a life of luxury and the latter being the product of a life of labor and hardship. The novel also touches upon the idea of class struggle, with the Eloi representing the upper class who have no need to work and the Morlocks representing the working class who are forced to live in harsh conditions. Wells' portrayal of the Morlocks as cannibalistic monsters highlights the fear of the working class rising up against their oppressors. Furthermore, The Time Machine also warns against the dangers of technological advancement. The Time Traveller's machine represents the pinnacle of human ingenuity, but it also leads him to witness the destruction of humanity. The novel suggests that unchecked technological progress can lead to catastrophic consequences. The Time Machine is a thought-provoking novel that explores complex themes through an engaging narrative. Wells' commentary on social and technological progress is still relevant today, making this novel a timeless classic of science fiction literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What the time traveler held in his hand was a glittering framework of metal, hardly larger than a small watch, and very finely crafted. There was ivory on it and a transparent, crystalline substance. And now I must go into detail, because what follows is, unless you accept his explanation, something absolutely inexplicable. He took one of the small octagonal tables that stood around the room and placed it in front of the fire, with two feet on the hearth rug." Gröls Classics - English Edition

Download or read book Love Fear and Other Things That Cry out in the Night written by Marilyn R. Moody and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-01-19 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love, Fear and Other Things That Cry Out In The Night - Moments Alone With Agoraphobia was written by Marilyn R. Moody approximately 20 years ago. At that time in her life she was diagnosed with this illness. It was a difficult way to live. Because she had young children, she managed to keep working feeling responsible for their financial needs even though she was married to a very supportive man. Writing was one of the ways she coped with the fears brought on by agoraphobia. Ms. Moody saved the writing from that time. Over the years, as she has grown healthier and stronger, she would often take out the book that originally was written for her eyes only to read again her thoughts from that time in her life. She would then realize how far she had progressed. Now, she has included those writings into one book to share with others who might also be experiencing the devastating effects from agoraphobia. She would like them to know that they are not alone.
