grimmtmp from cmu.edu This book contains 209 tales collected by the brothers Grimm. The exact print source is unknown. The etext appears to be based on the translation by Margaret Hunt called Grimm's Household Tales, but it is not identical to her edition. The etext received by the Universal Library did not include story titles. Note that these tales are presented more or less as the Grimms collected and edited them (and as Hunt saw fit to translate them). NEW: There is now a more accurate version of the Hunt translation posted by William Barker.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley Chapter One A SQUAT grey building of only thirty-four stories. Over the main entrance the words, CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY. The enormous room on the ground floor faced towards the north. "And this," said the Director opening the door, "is the Fertilizing Room." Bent over their instruments, three hundred Fertilizers were plunged, as the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning entered the room, in the scarcely breathing silence, the absent-minded, soliloquizing hum or whistle, of absorbed concentration. "Just to give you a general idea," he would explain to them. "To-morrow," he would add, smiling at them with a slightly menacing geniality, "you'll be settling down to serious work. Meanwhile, it was a privilege. Tall and rather thin but upright, the Director advanced into the room. "Bokanovsky's Process," repeated the Director, and the students underlined the words in their little notebooks. Mr.
The Best Science Fiction Books (According to Reddit) Recently, someone asked Reddit for a list of the best science fiction books of all time. Being a fan of sci-fi, and wanting to expand my own reading list, I thought it would be helpful to tally the results and preserve them here for future reference. I've also included selected quotes from the comments, as well as my own notes on the books I've already read. PS: All book images in this post are copyright Amazon, and were retrieved using my Big Book Search Engine. So, without further ado, here are the Greatest Sci-Fi Books of All Time, ordered by upvote count: Dune Frank Herbert - 1965 "There's a reason it's the global top selling science fiction book of all time." - NibblyPig If you have a chance, track down the excellent full cast audiobook (unabridged!) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams - 1979 "I really love the cool combination of humor, philosophy, and sheer nuttiness of the entire series." - Scarbrow Ender's Game Orson Scott Card - 1985 Foundation Trilogy Isaac Asimov - 1942
DER SPIEGEL 52/1989 - Ein Leichentuch Volksaufstand gegen das stalinistische Regime des Diktators Ceausescu. In Timisoara richtete die Armee ein Blutbad an. Mochten Russen, Ungarn, Polen, Deutsche und Tschechen sich wandeln - Nicolae Ceausescu blieb ungerührt, stalinistisches Fossil in der Brandung der grenzüberschreitenden osteuropäischen Volksrevolution. In sechsstündiger Rede vor seinem Parteitag nannte Rumäniens Diktator, der sein Volk seit nunmehr 24 Jahren drangsaliert, noch im November die Veränderungen ringsum eine "Schwäche der Regierungen" und "sozialistische Verirrungen". Vorletzten Freitag war es mit der befohlenen Treue zu Ende: Tagelang kämpften in blutigen Straßenschlachten unbewaffnete Untertanen im westrumänischen Timisoara (ungarisch: Temesvar) gegen eine hochgerüstete Armee. Rumänien schien immer noch für eine "chinesische Lösung" gut. Die Armee hatte mit Panzereinheiten um den Unruheherd Timisoara einen Ring gebildet und ließ selbst Krankenfahrzeuge nicht mehr passieren. Schließlich arbeitet seit dem 2.
Feedbooks The 10 Greatest Dystopian Love Stories in Literature This week saw the release of the brilliant Ariel Djanikian‘s debut novel, The Office of Mercy. Djanikian’s book drops you into a deliciously paranoid world that we’re confident will go down in history with the best of them, so we asked her to put together a list of her favorite dystopian love stories (just be sure to mentally add The Office of Mercy to her list). Here’s what she told us: “Dystopian tales seem to go hand-in-hand with scintillating, high-octane love stories: perhaps because dire circumstances have a knack of drawing people together, perhaps because claustrophobic repression makes the highs and lows of love affairs that much more potent. Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro Even clones have souls.
