When but a child of seven my uncle placed me in a private school in which one of the so-called redeemed sub-sailors was a teacher of the German language. As I look back now, in the light of my present knowledge, I better comprehend the docile humility and carefully nurtured ignorance of this man. In his class rooms he used as a text a description of German life, taken from the captured submarine. From this book he had secured his own conception of a civilization of which he really knew practically nothing. I recall how we used to ask Herr Meineke if he had actually seen those strange things of which he taught us. To this he always made answer, "The book is official, man's observation errs."

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos.

Grace Ozmian, missing daughter of a tech billionaire has been found. Most of her. Her head is still missing. Lieutenant CDS Vincent D'Agosta knows his investigation will attract fierce media scrutiny, so he's delighted when his old acquaintance FBI Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast is assigned to the case. But neither man is prepared for what lies ahead. A diabolical presence is haunting New York City and Grace is only the first of many victims to be murdered... and decapitated. As the first snows of winter sweep across the city, it will take all of Pendergast's skill and strength to unmask this most dangerous foe – let alone survive to tell the tale.

A fascinating and disturbing dystopian vision from a neglected sci-fi master, imagining an all too terrifying alternate ending to World War I and its implications for the human race The year is 2041. Since the end of WWI, Berlin has been an enormous subterranean city, home to 300 million citizens who have never seen the sun, and presided over by the autocratic Hohenzollern dynasty. Every aspect of life is regimented; from controlled rations that are issued on the basis of work-for-food, to a press that works exclusively under the auspices of the Information Service. Christianity has been abolished and all breeding is carried out on the basis of strict eugenic principles. Lyman De Forrest, an American chemist, discovers a way of neutralizing Berlin's defenses and, assuming the identity of a dead German man, enters the city to discover its hidden truths. The first outsider for decades to enter the forbidden metropolis, he is horrified to find a society where women are kept in isolation for breeding or the pleasuring of high status men. Can De Forrest escape this living tomb? Published shortly after the end of WWI, this tremendous example of early dystopian science fiction is thought ...

Book Excerpt: ided to make the first attack on the Germans as a private enterprise and then call for military aid. I had my own equipment of poisonous bombs and my sapping and mining experts determined that the German workings were but eighty metres beneath us. Hastily, among the crumbling skeletons, we set up our electrical boring machinery and began sinking a one-metre shaft towards the nearest sound. After twenty hours of boring, the drill head suddenly came off and rattled down into a cavern. We saw a light and heard guttural shouting below and the cracking of a gun as a few bullets spattered against the roof of our chamber. We heaved down our gas bombs and covered over our shaft. Within a few hours the light below went out and our microphones failed to detect any sound from the rocks beneath us. It was then perhaps that I should have called for military aid, but the uncanny silence of the lower workings proved too much for my eager curiosity. We waited two days and still there was no evidence of life below. I k Read More

Endless Night

Autor: A. L. Bowles

If tears can never bring happiness . . . Harsh words and anger only bring tears."Our world breathes freshly to think the Great Seni Fighters are dead if we were the ones to return home but it didn't make us feel better about being back. These stupid female emotions made me feel weak but when I finally saw the fire in Muscles's eyes again, that weakness was of another kind. We had a new mission but the trip's main purpose was to test our bonds before they were allowed to stay in Kalu. It sure as Fate did that. Things were said as well as done that could have nearly destroyed us but we were determined to return stronger and the Great Seni Fighters would prove it by only adding to their greatness. We were ready for whatever lied ahead." - Ruby

In the aftermath of the Great Galactic War, the Veetanho assumed control of the Mercenary Guild's Inner Council, and with it, power over the guild's affairs. The Goltar were marginalized, and the Veetanho did everything they could to make the galaxy forget the Goltar had ever existed. The Goltar went quietly, pretending to sulk and accept their fate?but they never did. They worked in the shadows, amassing power and resources, always looking for the right time-and right opportunity-where they could re-emerge and strip the hated Veetanho of everything they owned. In the depths of the Spine Nebula-a fly-over region known only for the bad luck of its inhabitants and the dangers that lurks in its fringes-the Goltar have a secret weapon.

As the guild wars heat up, the battle for ultimate power may well be fought in the Spine...

Wes Kirk shut his teeth together, hard. He turned his back on Ma Kirk and the five younger ones huddled around the box of heat-stones and went to the doorway, padding soft and tight with the anger in him. He shoved the curtain of little skins aside and crouched there with his thick shoulders fitted into the angle of the jamb, staring out, cold wind threading in across his splayed and naked feet. The hackles rose golden and stiff across Kirk's back. He said carefully, "I would like to kill the Captain and the First Officer and the Second Officer and all the little Officers, and the Engineers, and all their families." His voice carried inside on the wind eddies. Ma Kirk yelled, "Wes! You come here and let that curtain down! You want us all to freeze?" Her dark-furred shoulders moved rhythmically over the rocking child. She added sharply, "Besides, that's fool's talk, Jakk Randl's talk, and only gets the sucking-plant."

Mexico City Blues

Autor: Jack Kerouac

Número de Páginas: 145

La selección de poemas que componen este volumen es el tributo que el traductor Ronaldo Costa Picazo rinde a Jack Kerouac. Ya nadie discute que, en su papel de icono como rebelde, Kerouac encabezó la última vanguardia del siglo XX, y que su obra inició una etapa revisionista del canon literario y abrió las puertas a la obra de minorías. Los poemas de Mexico City Blues, escritos entre agosto y los primeros días de septiembre de 1955, fueron compuestos bajo la influencia de la marihuana y de la morfina. En ellos aparecen muchas de las ideas expresadas por Kerouac en sus novelas y, como todos los poemas de los beats, las composiciones de México City Blues se inscriben en una poética de tono religioso-místico, personalista y experimental.

The Slave's Little Friends

Autor: Carme Manuel

Número de Páginas: 778

The texts included in this anthology illustrate the wide range of possibilities that abolitionist writings offered to American children during the first half of the nineteenth century. Composing their works under the wings of the antislavery movement, authors responded to the unequal and controversial development of abolitionist politics during the decades that led up to the outbreak of the Civil War. These writers struggled to teach children “to feel right,” and attempted to instruct them to actively respond to the injustice of the slavery system as rendered visible by a harrowing visual archive of suffering bodies compiled by both English and American antislavery promoters. Reading was equated with knowledge and knowledge was equated with moral responsibility, and therefore reading about “the abominations of slavery” became an act of emotional personal transformation. Children were thus turned into powerful agents of political change and potential activists to spread the abolitionist message. Invited to comply with a higher law that entailed the breaking of their nation’s edicts, they were morally rewarded by the Christian God and approvingly applauded by their elders...
