Summary

The Lost World is a novel released in 1912 by Arthur Conan Doyle concerning an expedition to a plateau in South America where prehistoric animals (dinosaurs and other extinct creatures) still survive. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. Interestingly, for a seminal work of dinosaur-related fiction, the animals only occupy a small portion of the narrative. Much more time is devoted to a war between early human hominids and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.

    Do you want to listen to Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave? If so then keep reading…Former slave, impassioned abolitionist, brilliant writer, newspaper editor and eloquent orator whose speeches fired the abolitionist cause, Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) led an astounding life. Physical abuse, deprivation and tragedy plagued his early years, yet through sheer force of character he was able to overcome these obstacles to become a leading spokesman for his people. In this, the first and most frequently read of his three autobiographies, Douglass provides graphic descriptions of his childhood and horrifying experiences as a slave as well as a harrowing record of his dramatic escape to the North and eventual freedom. Published in 1845 to quell doubts about his origins — since few slaves of that period could write — the Narrative is admired today for its extraordinary passion, sensitive and vivid descriptions and storytelling power. It belongs in the library of anyone interested in African-American history and the life of one of the country's most courageous and influential champions of civil rights.

"The Stolen Body" tells the story of two men who are experimenting with mind over matter. On pre-arranged evenings they sit in their own rooms, two miles apart, and attempt to make themselves apparate in the room of the other. One evening, one of the men, Mr. Bessel succeeds in making himself visible to his friend. The friend rushes across town to discuss the success of the experiment  - but to his amazement, Mr. Bessel's rooms are in disarray and the man himself has disappeared. Later that evening he finds Bessel on a London street attacking passers, using his cane as a club. Mr. Bessel attacks and injures him, before continuing his reign of terror along the streets of London. Yet within a short time, Mr. Bessel has disappeared completely, and the mystery is complete? But where is he? And what has brought about this terrible change in him?

    "Of a Book Unwritten" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.Accomplished literature is all very well in its way, no doubt, but much more fascinating to the contemplative man are the books that have not been written. These latter are no trouble to hold; there are no pages to turn over.
