Download or read book The Sea Lady written by H. G. Wells and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2013-11-25 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the annotated edition including the rare biographical essay by Edwin E. Slosson called "H. G. Wells - A Major Prophet Of His Time". The book is also fully illustrated with a wealth of beautiful drawings. "Such previous landings of mermaids as have left a record have all a flavor of doubt.'' Thus Mr. Wells begins his story of the mermaid, and he tells it with the solemnity and detail which make his most preposterous imaginings as credible as an account of the racing at Cowes. His method is to take an impossibility as premise and to follow out the argument quite logically, with just the same surprise at his own conclusion as the reader might be expected to feel. Here the mermaid is the impossibility, and it was not until she came to shore—shamming cramp—at Sandgate to the astonishment of a party of bathers that Mr. Wells believed in the existence of such creatures. So we have this beautiful being arriving from another world projected into the house of the estimable Buntings and the society of Folkestone, where she has, for obvious reasons, to make her public appearances in a bath chair. Miss Waters—such is her terrestrial name—knows a thing or two; for fashion papers flutter from channel steamers, and certain productions of Dr. Richard Garnett seem to have capsized a ship and brought a liberal education to the sea maidens. Moreover, she naturally talks the language of the Rulers of the Waves. But she has no soul, and of course she has never tasted tea. Now Mrs. Bunting cannot imagine a World without Tea. So, remembering that the Sea Lady has no soul, no morals and is immortal, that she has a tail and an affection for a young man already engaged to the earnest Adeline, you will foresee the dreadful confusion caused by her incursion into a respectable middle-class family.

Book excerpt: Pelops' troubles began when his father chopped him into stewing meat and served him to the gods for tea. Although he's been remade, and gifted with a talent for the culinary arts, there are downsides--namely a missing shoulder and sea god with an infatuation. Poseidon's nice enough, but he just doesn't take no for an answer. Not only that, a wealthy, but mysterious patron has been causing Pelops'clients to cancel their engagements. Meanwhile, a rival chef is doing his best to destroy Pelops' reputation, the woman Pelops loves appears oblivious to his feelings, and just before Athens' most important festival begins, Pelops finds himself suddenly without olive oil--a serious concern for a chef. But things get worse when a courtesan is murdered at a dinner Pelops prepares--drowned in his newly-acquired olive oil. Seeking vengeance, the Furies arrive in Athens, and the rival chef blames their attacks on Pelops. Clients cancel in droves, and even Pelops' friends are affected by his rival's machinations. Pelops asks the gods for help, but when they turn him down, he realizes he alone must find the woman's killer to salvage his reputation.

Download or read book The Food of the Gods written by H. G. Wells and published by Hesperus Press. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1904, this forgotten classic is sci-fi and dystopia at its best, written by the creator and master of the genre Following extensive research in the field of "growth," Mr. Bensington and Professor Redwood light upon a new mysterious element, a food that causes greatly accelerated development. Initially christening their discovery "The Food of the Gods," the two scientists are overwhelmed by the possible ramifications of their creation. Needing room for experiments, Mr. Besington chooses a farm that offers him the chance to test on chickens, which duly grow monstrous, six or seven times their usual size. With the farmer, Mr. Skinner, failing to contain the spread of the Food, chaos soon reigns as reports come in of local encounters with monstrous wasps, earwigs, and rats. The chickens escape, leaving carnage in their wake. The Skinners and Redwoods have both been feeding their children the compound illicitly—their eventual offspring will constitute a new age of giants. Public opinion rapidly turns against the scientists and society rebels against the world's new flora and fauna. Daily life has changed shockingly and now politicians are involved, trying to stamp out the Food of the Gods and the giant race. Comic and at times surprisingly touching and tragic, Wells' story is a cautionary tale warning against the rampant advances of science but also of the dangers of greed, political infighting, and shameless vote-seeking.
