Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's..." So begins H. G. Wells' classic novel in which Martian lifeforms take over planet Earth. As the Martians emerge, they construct giant killing machines - armed with heatrays - that are impervious to attack. Advancing upon London they destroy everything in their path. Everything, except the few humans they collect in metal traps. Victorian England is a place in which the steam engine is state-of-the-art technology and powered flight is just a dream. Mankind is helpless against the killing machines from Mars, and soon the survivors are left living in a new stone age. Includes the original Warwick Goble illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I am sorry, sir, but we're closed for tonight," I said. "I don't have the keys to the register, and I am afraid I have to ask you to leave," I lied. Of course I have the keys. I am the owner. He replied, "I am not here for the puny plants that will just die when their purpose in life is gone nor the useless remedies that you sell. I am here for you. You, a human, a traitor to your own kind, to marry such filth, not of your own kind. To mate with it. You are a disgrace to your people." He snarled. I started to get scared. Here was a man who looked human but felt like evil in every way. Something told me that this man had no good left in his soul. Pushing the feeling aside, I replied, "I don't know what you mean. I am married, yes. But I don't understand what you mean when you say he isn't human. Of course he is human. What else could he be?" I mused. He didn't speak; instead, his eyes darkened to an even more violent shade. Taking a step back, I tried another angle, asking him, "Why do you think my husband is not human?" Frowning, he replied, "Your husband is none other than a mangy flea-bitten mutt. He spends his days as a human, but then at nights, when you aren't looking, he is a wolf." For a moment, his face transformed, giving it a look of pure evil. "No, he isn't," I retorted. "If he isn't human, then neither are you. I noticed your face when you called him a wolf. I saw you transform." He laughed, a dry, throaty sort of laugh. One that had no humor behind it. "No. I am not human. You see, I am what you humans fear most." He advanced on me. Indeed fearing him and what could happen if he got close, I walked around to the counter where I knew all the knives and scissors were kept. I grabbed one and aimed it at his heart. Little did I know, that night would change my life forever. My knowledge of the world and everyone in it wasn't anywhere near the truth. Beings, creatures whom I had only read about, walked about the earth, hiding from humankind, and I must admit, they did so very well. Well, almost. Turns out there were a few humans who knew about the supernatural world. And they didn't like sharing the world. They did not like it one bit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1897, H.G. Wells's alien invasion narrative The War of the Worlds was a landmark work of science fiction and one that continues to be adapted and referenced in the 21st century. Chronicling the novel's contexts, its origins and its many multi-media adaptations, this book is a complete biography of the life – and the afterlives – of The War of the Worlds. Exploring the original text's compelling sense of place and vivid recreation of Wells's Woking home and the concerns of fin-de-siécle Britain, the book goes on to chart the novel's immediate international impact. Starting with the initial serialisations in US newspapers, Peter Beck goes on to examine Orson Welles's legendary 1938 radio adaptation, TV and film adaptations from George Pal to Steven Spielberg, Jeff Wayne's rock opera and the numerous other works that have taken their inspiration from Wells's original. Drawing on new archival research, this is a comprehensive account of the continuing impact of The War of the Worlds.

Download or read book Between Worlds written by Leslie Umberger and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bill Traylor (ca. 1853-1949) is regarded today as one of the most important American artists of the twentieth century. A black man born into slavery in Alabama, he was an eyewitness to history--the Civil War, Emancipation, Reconstruction, Jim Crow segregation, the Great Migration, and the steady rise of African American urban culture in the South. Traylor would not live to see the civil rights movement, but he was among those who laid its foundation. Starting around 1939, Traylor--by then in his late eighties and living on the streets of Montgomery--took up pencil and paintbrush to attest to his existence and point of view. In keeping with this radical step, the paintings and drawings he made are visually striking and politically assertive; they include simple yet powerful distillations of tales and memories as well as spare, vibrantly colored abstractions. When Traylor died, he left behind more than one thousand works of art. In Between Worlds: The Art of Bill Traylor, Leslie Umberger considers more than two hundred artworks to provide the most comprehensive and in-depth study of the artist to date; she examines his life, art, and powerful drive to bear witness through the only means he had, pictures. The author draws on a wealth of historical documents--including federal and state census records, birth and death certificates, slave schedules, and interviews with family members-- to clarify the record of Traylor's personal history and family life. The story of his art opens in the late 1930s, when Traylor first received attention for his pencil drawings on found board, and concludes with the posthumous success of his oeuvre"--
