Book excerpt: Ingles has come up with a unique concept for a centennial tribute for the University of the Philippines. Setting the founding of the university amidst news reports on current events in 1908, he causes us to ponder the early years of the American occupation of the country and to look beyond 1908 to the university's emergence as an intellectual center of vital relevance to the development of national consciousness of the Filipino people. --Bienvenido L.

Download or read book The Thinking Machine written by Jacques Futrelle and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thinking Machine (1907) is a short story collection by Jacques Futrelle. Published at the height of his career as a leading popular detective and science fiction writer, The Thinking Machine collects stories that originally appeared in such publications as The Saturday Evening Post and the Boston American. Celebrated for his brisk storytelling and mastery of suspense, Jacques Futrelle was lost at sea on April 15, 1912 while returning from Europe on the HMS Titanic. His wife, who survived the disaster, had his last book dedicated to “the heroes of the Titanic.” Professor Augustus S. F. X Van Dusen, Ph.D., LL.D., F.R.S., M.D., M.D.S is a man whose intellect is as exhaustive as his name. Having learned the game of chess just hours before, he defeated grandmaster Tchaichowsky using logic and reason alone, earning himself the nickname “The Thinking Machine.” Ever since that fateful day, Van Dusen, with the help of his trusted companion Hutchinson Hatch, is called to solve crimes, complete puzzles, and face challenges no normal man could possibly endure. In “The Problem of Cell 13,” Van Dusen argues that no feat is impossible when the human mind is involved. To prove his theory, he endeavors to escape from a notoriously brutal prison in just one week’s time. Presented alongside six other stories of mystery and adventure, “The Problem of Cell 13” stands out as one of the greatest detective and suspense tales of all time. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jacques Futrelle’s The Thinking Machine is a classic of American detective fiction reimagined for modern readers.
