Book The Origins of Science Fiction

Download or read book The Origins of Science Fiction written by Michael Newton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-24 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I seemed to gaze upon a vast space, the limits of which extended far beyond my vision...' This anthology gathers together seventeen gripping tales from the nineteenth and early twentieth century that make up the foundations of science fiction. It moves from Mary Shelley to H. G. Wells, from Edgar Allan Poe to W. E. B. Du Bois, and from George Eliot to Jack London. Before the term 'science fiction' was established, writers pursued a new and strange subject matter, to be written about in a startlingly new way. The selected stories in this collection reflect the many diverse paths that led towards science fiction, including scientific Gothic, dystopian fantasies, psychological hoaxes, feminist parables, fictions of time-travel, adventure stories, uncanny tales, and stories of alien encounters. The anthology unveils the power of the literature of the period and exposes our fascination with scientific discovery and the allure (and threat) of the imagined future. This edition includes an introduction by Michael Newton setting out the themes of the tales and exploring the development of science fiction. Newton explores how the stories engage with anxiety about the limits of the rational mind, the fact of Empire and the discoveries of anthropology, the uneasy figure of the scientist, the rapid development of technology, and the presence of the alien other. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

This collection contains Volumes 1 - 4 plus a bonus prequel titled "Dalisay's Wish." Gambling debts, blackmail, microfilm, a bottle of rye. Tongue on the roof of her mouth, hard-boiled exotic dancer Vicky Valentine loves solving a mystery. A scream. A dead stiff. A nymph giggling. Black and white chiaroscuro shadows represent Vicky's world. She's a globetrotting babe who fucks with abandon and rocks out, while still finding the time to paint her nails. With her bisexual sidekick and double-agent ex-boyfriend mucking up the production, Vicky dances her way to erotic ecstasy. In Volume 1, Vicky Valentine masturbates while prepping for a sultry dance at a Portland strip club. Later, she engages in a steamy lap dance with her troublesome ex-boyfriend Wilhelm Wilder. As a double-agent he’s burned her before, but his charms are difficult to resist. He offers an easy job worth fifty grand. Vicky reluctantly accepts and starts a tense cross-country motorcycle journey with her bisexual girlfriend True. After an orgasm or two, the duo discovers two mysterious G-men lurking in the shadows, but are they friend or foe? In Volume 2, Vicky Valentine and True continue their bisexual escapades through Utah. First, the desirable duo seduces two strangers into group sex. Next, they play with a large strap-on dildo in a kitschy Salt Lake City motel room. Later in New Orleans, they meet a mysterious voodoo mistress and her blind chauffeur. After a lesbian lickety-split ménage à trois, the voodoo mistress leads Vicky to an underground sex-club called Le Malaise. Without warning, Vicky faces an undead army and their diabolic master, but will Vicky survive to lick another day? In Volume 3, Vicky Valentine discovers clues to a beloved friend’s whereabouts in a New Orleans bookstore. An impromptu bookshelf blowjob leads to a flight to Seoul, South Korea. Vicky descends into Seoul’s pulsing underworld with lipstick lesbian temptations, lovers abound, and assassins sent to kill her. Bewitched, Vicky falls for a transsexual nightclub singer who gives new meaning to “Drop dead gorgeous.” Vicky enlists the help of a sexy Interpol agent, screws a handsome stud in a Korean love motel, and discovers a terrible surprise in a nightclub’s washroom. With betrayal around every corner, will K-pop best Vicky once and for all? In Volume 4, Vicky Valentine journeys through a carnal odyssey on a mysterious island. Like Dante’s hell, the subterranean complex displays sexual depravity as one moves through the levels and corridors. Sneaking around like a cat in heat, Vicky indulges in a dominatrix training day, masturbates to group sex on voyeuristic computer monitors, and slides herself into a massive oil orgy. Reaching the top of the secret base, she faces her archenemy, the nefarious Don Diab. As he unveils the crux of his occult power, the dark magician brings down the heavens and reveals a terrible reality. Will this truth shatter Vicky’s heart now and forever? In the "Dalisay's Wish" prequel, Vicky Valentine works as a bar girl in Angeles City, the Philippines, the sex capital of Southeast Asia. Expatriate lowlifes and criminals abound in this dark world of steamy sex for profit. Voyeurism draws Vicky into the treacherous underbelly of Manila. Vicky befriends an amnesiac call girl trying to escape a pimp’s clutches. In walks a mysterious German stranger who offers help, romance, and an impromptu ménage à trois. Even with help absconding from the Philippines proves difficult. Vicky escapes this den of debauchery, but at what cost? * Warning: This is a serialized story with massive cliffhangers.

Book In Search of Mary Shelley

Download or read book In Search of Mary Shelley written by Fiona Sampson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know the facts of Mary Shelley’s life in some detail—the death of her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, within days of her birth; the upbringing in the house of her father, William Godwin, in a house full of radical thinkers, poets, philosophers, and writers; her elopement, at the age of seventeen, with Percy Shelley; the years of peripatetic travel across Europe that followed. But there has been no literary biography written this century, and previous books have ignored the real person—what she actually thought and felt and why she did what she did—despite the fact that Mary and her group of second-generation Romantics were extremely interested in the psychological aspect of life.In this probing narrative, Fiona Sampson pursues Mary Shelley through her turbulent life, much as Victor Frankenstein tracked his monster across the arctic wastes. Sampson has written a book that finally answers the question of how it was that a nineteen-year-old came to write a novel so dark, mysterious, anguished, and psychologically astute that it continues to resonate two centuries later. No previous biographer has ever truly considered this question, let alone answered it.

Book Captain  Hell Roaring  Mike Healy

Download or read book Captain Hell Roaring Mike Healy written by Dennis L. Noble and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the Coast Guard’s great heroes and the secret he kept hidden "This is a book of adventure that tells how one man shaped the Alaskan frontier at a crucial time in American history."--Vincent William Patton, Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard, retired "Diligent research and precise writing reveal the realities of race relations in nineteenth-century America, as well as the dangers, loneliness, and complex relationships of life at sea in that era."--Bernard C. Nalty, author of Strength for the Fight: A History of Black Americans in the Military In the late 1880s, many lives in northern and western maritime Alaska rested in the capable hands of Michael A. Healy (1839-1904), through his service to the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service. Healy arrested lawbreakers, put down mutinies aboard merchant ships, fought the smuggling of illegal liquor and firearms, rescued shipwrecked sailors from a harsh and unforgiving environment, brought medical aid to isolated villages, prevented the wholesale slaughter of marine wildlife, and explored unknown waters and lands. Captain Healy's dramatic feats in the far north were so widely reported that a New York newspaper once declared him the "most famous man in America." But Healy hid a secret that contributed to his legacy as a lonely, tragic figure. In 1896, Healy was brought to trial on charges ranging from conduct unbecoming an officer to endangerment of his vessel for reason of intoxication. As punishment, he was put ashore on half pay with no command and dropped to the bottom of the Captain's list. Eventually, he again rose to his former high position in the service by the time of his death in 1904. Sixty-seven years later, in 1971, the U.S. Coast Guard learned that Healy was born a slave in Georgia who ran away to sea at age fifteen and spent the rest of his life passing for white. This is the rare biography that encompasses both sea adventure and the height of human achievement against all odds.
