Download or read book The Invasion Of 1910 written by William Le Queux and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-02-23 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Invasion of 1910 & The Great War in England in 1897. What if German forces landed on the east coast of England and advanced on London while the British were struggling and weak? Such is the premise of William Le Queux's "The Invasion of 1910", one of the most popular "invasion fiction" novels in history. The novel revolves around Germany's rising naval power and its threat to Britain, a country unprepared for war politically, physically and psychologically. As the Germans occupy half of London, a junior Parliamentarian declares "Britain is not defeated." A newly formed Army liberates London, but the war is far from over. "The Invasion" was published in the Daily Mail in 1906 as tension of battleship construction threatened to erupt into military conflict between Germany and Britain. While the books' literary value may be questionable, the novel proved a massive hit in 1906, catapulting the Daily Mail into the limelight. Le Queux's novel is written in a journalistic style, without main characters - aside from the odd general or politician - and this proved wildly successful with readers, turning "The Invasion" into one of the most successful future war stories since The Battle of Dorking in 1871. This edition also incorporates Le Queux's earlier novel "The Great War in England in 1897", one of his earliest invasion-fiction novels. In the "Great War", France and Russia invade Britain, and the patriots battle back with the aid of German forces. Britain seizes Algeria and Russia's Central Asia, while Germany controls mainland France, leaving the two new superpowers to dominate Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Invasion of 1910 (1906) is a novel by Anglo-French writer William Le Queux. Published at the height of Le Queux’s career as a leading author of popular thrillers, The Invasion of 1910 is a story of espionage, resistance, and international conflict. Using his own research and experience as a journalist and adventurer, Le Queux crafts an accessible, entertaining world for readers in search of a literary escape. Known for his works of fiction and nonfiction on the possibility of Germany invading Britain—a paranoia common in the early twentieth century—William Le Queux also wrote dozens of thrillers and adventure novels for a dedicated public audience. Although critical acclaim eluded him, popular success made him one of England’s bestselling writers. In The Invasion of 1910, a large German occupying force lands undetected on the coast of England. After quickly defeating a hastily assembled British defense in a battle at Royston, German forces turn toward London, eventually gaining control of half of the city. Woefully unprepared, terribly overwhelmed, a small group of English politicians gathers to form a resistance force capable of conducting guerrilla style attacks on the well trained, heavily armed Germans. As the light of hope returns to a beleaguered nation, a new British Army gathers strength in order to cast the invaders out for good. Originally published in the Daily Mail, Le Queux’s novel was both popular and controversial for its use of newspapermen dressed in German military uniforms to drum up sales. Despite being rejected as alarmist in its time, The Invasion of 1910 would prove prescient less than a decade after its publication with the outbreak of the First World War. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of William Le Queux’s The Invasion of 1910 is a classic novel reimagined for modern readers.

Download or read book The Tale of the Next Great War 1871 1914 written by Ignatius Frederick Clarke and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This selection of short stories offers a return journey through the future as it used to be. Time speeds backwards to the 1870s - to the alpha point of modern futuristic fiction - the opening years of that enchanted period before the First World War when Jules Verne, H. G. Wells and many able writers delighted readers from Sydney to Seattle with their most original revelations of things-to-come. In all their anticipations, the dominant factor was the recognition that the new industrial societies would continue to evolve in obedience to the rate of change. One major event that caused all to think furiously about the future was the Franco-German War of 1870. The new weapons and the new methods of army organization had shown that the conduct of warfare was changing; and, in response to that perception of change, a new form of fiction took on the task of describing the conduct of the war-to-come.
Download or read book British Invasion and Spy Literature 1871 1918 written by Danny Laurie-Fletcher and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines British invasion and spy literature and the political, social, and cultural attitudes that it expresses. This form of literature began to appear towards the end of the nineteenth century and developed into a clearly recognised form during the Edwardian period (1901-1914). By looking at the origins and evolution of invasion literature, and to a lesser extent detective literature, up to the end of World War I, Danny Laurie-Fletcher utilises fiction as a window into the mind-set of British society. There is a focus on the political arguments embedded within the texts, which mirrored debates in wider British society that took place before and during World War I – debates about military conscription, immigration, spy scares, the fear of British imperial decline, and the rise of Germany. These debates and topics are examined to show what influence they had on the creation of the intelligence services, MI5 and MI6, and how foreigners were perceived in society.

Download or read book The History of Science Fiction written by Adam Roberts and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the definitive critical history of science fiction. The 2006 first edition of this work traced the development of the genre from Ancient Greece and the European Reformation through to the end of the 20th century. This new 2nd edition has been revised thoroughly and very significantly expanded. An all-new final chapter discusses 21st-century science fiction, and there is new material in every chapter: a wealth of new readings and original research. The author’s groundbreaking thesis that science fiction is born out of the 17th-century Reformation is here bolstered with a wide range of new supporting material and many hundreds of 17th- and 18th-century science fiction texts, some of which have never been discussed before. The account of 19th-century science fiction has been expanded, and the various chapters tracing the twentieth-century bring in more writing by women, and science fiction in other media including cinema, TV, comics, fan-culture and other modes.
