SHE (Lost World Classic)
This carefully crafted ebook: "SHE (Lost World Classic)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. She - A History of Adventure is a classic of imaginative literature and one of the best-selling books of all time. "She" was extraordinarily popular upon its release and has never been out of print. The story is a first-person narrative that follows the journey of Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey to a lost kingdom in the African interior. There they encounter a primitive race of natives and a mysterious white queen named Ayesha who reigns as the all-powerful "She", or "She-who-must-be-obeyed". In this work, Rider Haggard developed the conventions of the Lost World subgenre, which many later authors emulated. Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre.

A Love Story Reversed
Edward Bellamy's "A Love Story Reversed: 1898" defies the traditional narrative of 19th-century romance, offering a unique window into the shifting societal norms as the world approached the turn of the century. In this novel, Bellamy skillfully evokes the genteel world of Victorian courtship and subverts the archetypal love story with finesse, echoing the literary style of naturalism that was emerging during this period. His prose lays bare the complexities and subtleties of romantic love in an era where customs were rapidly changing, embedding his tale within the broader literary context of transformation and questioning of social conventions. Edward Bellamy, a prominent American author an...
Looking Further Backward
Arthur Dudley Vinton's 'Looking Further Backward' is a thought-provoking sequel and satirical response to Edward Bellamy's seminal Utopian work 'Looking Backward.' Set in the imagined future of 2023, the novel envisions an America subdued by a capitalist Chinese empire, diverging sharply from Bellamy's socialist paradise. Vinton's narrative, structured as a diary, skillfully combines political commentary with a storytelling approach that delves into themes of nationalism, capitalism, and imperialism. Its prescient reflections on societal ideologies and possible futures place it squarely within the tradition of socially conscious science fiction, making it a text of both historical and litera...

City of Endless Night
In 'City of Endless Night,' Hastings constructs an eerily prescient dystopian vision, drawing threads from the socio-political tapestry of post-World War I Europe to imagine a 1941 under the dark pall of a hyper-fascist Germany. Through a narrative of chilling efficaciousness, Hastings not only delivers a cautionary tale with unsettling parallels to the ensuing rise of fascism and totalitarian regimes but also showcases his profound political insight. His depiction of a hermetically sealed city, a controlled press, fanatical racial ideologies, and a society governed by eugenic principles is a stark study in speculative fiction. The novel's literary style foreshadows the urgency and the criti...
From Pole to Pole
From Pole to Pole by George Griffith is about the latest experiment examined by Professor Hafkin and Mr. Arthur Princeps: the journey through the center of the earth. Excerpt: "Well, Professor, what is it? Something pretty important, I suppose, from the wording of your note. What is the latest achievement? Have you solved the problem of aerial navigation, or got a glimpse into the realms of the fourth dimension, or what?" "No, not any of those as yet, my friend, but something that may be quite as wonderful of its sort," replied Professor Haffkin, putting his elbows down on the table and looking keenly across it under his shaggy, iron-grey eyebrows at the young man who was sitting on the opposite side pulling meditatively at a good cigar and sipping a whisky-and-soda."
