Before the war, they dreamed of who they would become.England, 1939.At a quiet RAF base, young men prepare for a future they can barely imagine. Among them is Herman Andersen, a Danish outsider, caught between countries, loyalties, and a growing sense that the life ahead of him may not be the one he has imagined.The days pass in a strange stillness training flights, long evenings, restless anticipation. War has been declared, yet for a time an almost unreal peace persists, leaving space for ambition, longing, and a love that may be more illusion than truth.As reality begins to press in, Herman must confront the distance between who he is and who he hopes to become.A novel of youth, identity, and the last moments of innocence before everything changes.

In the Land of the Mahdi: In Sudan is Karl Mays adventure novel set against the upheavals of late nineteenth-century Sudan during the Mahdist period. Blending travel narrative, imperial-era frontier romance, and ethnographic curiosity, the book follows perilous movement through desert landscapes, tribal territories, and zones of political conflict. As in Mays other works, the narrative combines suspense, exoticized description, and moral confrontation, while reflecting the European adventure tradition shaped by colonial imaginations of Africa and the Islamic world. Its prose is vivid and propulsive, yet also revealing of the fantasies and ideological assumptions of its time. Karl May (18421912), one of the most widely read German popular authors, was famed for creating expansive tales of distant lands he often knew initially through reading rather than direct experience. His difficult early life, later reinvention as a prolific writer, and fascination with heroism, faith, and cross-cultural encounter deeply inform this novel. The Sudanese setting offered May an arena in which to dramatize danger, religious conflict, and the testing of character. This book is especially recommended to readers interested in German adventure fiction, nineteenth-century representations of Africa, and the cultural history of popular literature. Read critically, it is both an engrossing narrative and a revealing document of its literary and historical moment.

"La Confession de Claude" met with poor appreciation from the general public, although it attracted the attention of the Public Prosecutor, who sent down to Hachettes to make a few inquiries about the author, but went no further. When, however, M. Barbey dAurevilly, in a critical weekly paper called the "Nain Jaune," spitefully alluded to this rather daring novel as "Hachettes little book," one of the members of the firm sent for M. Zola, and addressed him thus:"Look here, M. Zola, you are earning eight pounds a month with us, which is ridiculous for a man of your talent. Why dont you go into literature altogether? It will bring you wealth and glory."Zola received no more than twenty-four pounds for the serial rights of the novel, and he consented at the insistence of the Editor, who pointed out to him that the periodical was read by the Empress Eugenie, to draw his pen through certain passages, which were reinstated when the story was published in volume form. I may say here that in this translation, I have adopted the views of the late M. Arsene Houssaye; and, if I have allowed the appalling description of the Paris Morgue to stand, it is, first of all.

ROMANCE and the HISTORY of walled cities are inseparable. Who has not felt this to be so at the sight of hoary ruins lichen-clad and ivy-mantled, that proudly rear their battered crests despite the ravages of time and mans destructive instincts. It is within walled cities that the life of civilized man began: the walls guarded him against barbarian foes, behind their shelter he found the security necessary to his cultural development, in their defence he showed his finest qualities. And such a cityand such a history is that of Ancient Byzantium, the City of Constantine, the Castle of Csar.What wonder then that man should endeavour to express by pen and pencil his sense of the greatness and beauty, the Romance of a Walled City such as Constantinople. The more so that a movement is on foot to remove these ancient landmarks of the history of Europe and Asia.True there are other works on this same subject, works by men deeply learned in the history of this fair city, works that bid fair to outlive the city walls if the fell intent of destroying them is carried into execution, and from these men and their works I derived inspiration and information.

This special issue explores one of the most intriguing puzzles in aesthetics and philosophy of mind: our emotional engagement with fiction. Why do we have emotions toward events and characters we know to be non-existent? And what do these responses reveal about the nature, rationality, and value of emotions? Bringing together leading philosophers and emerging scholars, the volume revisits classic debates from the paradox of fiction to the appeal of tragedy and horror while also offering new perspectives on phenomena such as emotional recalcitrance, moral self-knowledge, and the attraction of "junk" fiction. The contributions show how engagement with fiction shapes our emotional lives, evaluative outlooks, and understanding of ourselves. The result is a rich and interdisciplinary dialogue that underscores both the enduring vitality of these questions and their broader significance for theories of emotion, imagination, and knowledge.

The World Set Free is a novel written in 1913 and published in 1914 by H. G. Wells. The book is based on a prediction of nuclear weapons of a more destructive and uncontrollable sort than the world has yet seen. It had appeared first in serialised form with a different ending as A Prophetic Trilogy, consisting of three books: A Trap to Catch the Sun, The Last War in the World and The World Set Free.A frequent theme of Wellss work, as in his 1901 nonfiction book Anticipations, was the history of humans mastery of power and energy through technological advance, seen as a determinant of human progress. The novel begins: "The history of mankind is the history of the attainment of external power. Man is the tool-using, fire-making animal. . . .Always down a lengthening record, save for a set-back ever and again, he is doing more." (Many of the ideas Wells develops here found a fuller development when he wrote The Outline of History in 1918-1919.) The novel is dedicated "To Frederick Soddys Interpretation of Radium," a volume published in 1909.

Leonardos views of aesthetic are all important in his philosophy of life and art. The workers thoughts on his craft are always of interest. They are doubly so when there is in them no trace of literary self-consciousness to blemish their expression.He recorded these thoughts at the instant of their birth, for a constant habit of observation and analysis had early developed with him into a second nature. His ideas were penned in the same fragmentary way as they presented themselves to his mind, perhaps with no intention of publishing them to the world.But his ideal of art depended intimately, none the less, on the system he had thrown out seemingly in so haphazard a manner.
