Download or read book The War of the Worlds written by Peter J. Beck and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1897, H.G. Wells's alien invasion narrative The War of the Worlds was a landmark work of science fiction and one that continues to be adapted and referenced in the 21st century. Chronicling the novel's contexts, its origins and its many multi-media adaptations, this book is a complete biography of the life – and the afterlives – of The War of the Worlds. Exploring the original text's compelling sense of place and vivid recreation of Wells's Woking home and the concerns of fin-de-siécle Britain, the book goes on to chart the novel's immediate international impact. Starting with the initial serialisations in US newspapers, Peter Beck goes on to examine Orson Welles's legendary 1938 radio adaptation, TV and film adaptations from George Pal to Steven Spielberg, Jeff Wayne's rock opera and the numerous other works that have taken their inspiration from Wells's original. Drawing on new archival research, this is a comprehensive account of the continuing impact of The War of the Worlds.
Download or read book Trelawny of The Wells written by Arthur Wing Pinero and published by R. H. Russell. This book was released on 2015-02-18 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Example in this ebook THE FIRST ACT. The scene represents a sitting room on the first floor of a respectable lodging house. On the right are two sash-windows, having Venetian blinds and giving a view of houses on the other side of the street. The grate of the fireplace is hidden by an ornament composed of shavings and paper roses. Over the fireplace is a mirror: on each side there is a sideboard cupboard. On the left is a door, and a landing is seen outside. Between the windows stand a cottage piano and a piano stool. Above the sofa, on the left, stands a large black trunk, the lid bulging with its contents and displaying some soiled theatrical finery. On the front of the trunk, in faded lettering, appear the words "Miss Violet Sylvester, Theatre Royal, Drury Lane." Under the sofa there are two or three pairs of ladies' satin shoes, much the worse for wear, and on the sofa a white-satin bodice, yellow with age, a heap of dog-eared playbooks, and some other litter of a like character. On the top of the piano there is a wig-block, with a man's wig upon it, and in the corners of the room there stand some walking sticks and a few theatrical swords. In the center of the stage is a large circular table. There is a clean cover upon it, and on the top of the sideboard cupboards are knives and forks, plate, glass, cruet-stands, and some gaudy flowers in vases—all suggesting preparations for festivity. The woodwork of the room is grained, the ceiling plainly whitewashed, and the wall paper is of a neutral tint and much faded. The pictures are engravings in maple frames, and a portrait or two, in oil, framed in gilt. The furniture, curtains, and carpet are worn, but everything is clean and well-kept. The light is that of afternoon in early summer. Mrs. Mossop—a portly, middle-aged Jewish lady, elaborately attired—is laying the tablecloth. Ablett enters hastily, divesting himself of his coat as he does so. He is dressed in rusty black for "waiting." To be continue in this ebook

Download or read book Phanuel Daughter of a Prophet written by Karen Minott and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For many weeks after the accident, the evening remained in Phanuel's mind—the surprise, the shock, the blood, and the loss. Her mind was seized by the very smell and feel of the day and would replay it in an unending loop—the unexpected jolt, the warm breath of the people thrown against her, their perspiring bodies blocking her exit, the swarming, wailing, confused crowd outside, and the bloody slaughterhouse feel. She was so very grateful but had many questions. Why had the Lord chosen her that day to live and not the deacon or the unfortunate others?" Phanuel: Daughter of a Prophet chronicles the amazing life of Phanuel Marrett, a Jamaican missionary, teacher, prophetess, and evangelist. In a biography that reads more like fiction, with its dramatic action and surprising twists, we follow Phanuel from her early days as a humble farmer's daughter through her dynamic life as a servant of the Lord.
