The Prussian Officer

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "The Prussian Officer," D. H. Lawrence explores the intricacies of human relationships through the prism of military authority and personal desire. Set against the backdrop of a rigid, hierarchical society, the novella employs a concise yet evocative prose style that reflects Lawrence's deep psychological insights and emotional depth. The narrative encapsulates the tensions between power and vulnerability, as it delves into themes of love, repression, and the often destructive force of masculinity. The work is situated within the modernist literary context, showcasing Lawrence's departure from traditional narrative structures while emphasizing raw human experience. D. H. Lawrence, a pivotal figure in the early 20th-century literary movement, was deeply influenced by his own experiences with industrialization and the complexities of interpersonal relationships. Born in 1885 in Nottinghamshire, England, Lawrence's background as the son of a coal miner informed his critique of societal norms. His passion for understanding the human psyche and exploring taboo subjects is evident in "The Prussian Officer," which reflects his own struggles with identity, class, and sexuality. Lawrence's incisive examination of the human condition makes "The Prussian Officer" a compelling read for those interested in psychological realism and the transformative power of literature. This novella not only enriches one's understanding of early 20th-century themes but also invites readers to reflect upon the nature of love and authority in their own lives.

Planet of the Angry Giants

Robert Silverberg

Planet of the Angry Giants by Robert Silverberg - The inhabitants of Dunhill V were gigantic. They were peaceful and good natured until something happened to upset them—and then their wrath was truly terrific! 
Commander Laurence Burke, who headed the Terran Colony on the planet of Dunhill V, was a small small as Earthmen went: he was a wiry figure no more than five feet six inches tall, with hardly an ounce of superfluous fat on his body. Despite the handicap of his size, Burke had been sufficiently adept at catching the attention of his superiors to reach his present fairly important post, as head of the tiny settlement on Dunhill V. There was one aspect of the Dunhill V assignment that Commander Burke particularly relished: although he was by six inches the shortest Earthman in the settlement, that fact tended to be overlooked in the general scheme of things—for the simple reason that the natives of Dunhill V averaged around eleven feet in height, thus making all Earthmen look like Dwarfs and making any individual difference in height seem insignificant. 
Life was fairly quiet for the small band of Earthmen on Dunhill V. There were only some hundred and fifty of them, living in temporary plastic domes. All the colonists were scientific observers, studying the planet's ecology and trying to determine whether it would be possible and desirable for Earth to send out a full-scale colonizing mission. 
There were many factors to be considered: the climate, the edibility of the native foods, the problem of indigenous diseases, and–by far the most important—the attitude of the natives toward having another civilization settle practically in its midst.

Chuck Delon & Doctor Humes - The...

John J. Law

He stood over a naked corpse that was lying on a slab. The poor dead man had no tattoos and judging by his complexion was no Indian. He was probably some unidentified Confederate soldier or something.  
Chuck pondered this for a moment. The man was once alive, and had probably seen his fair share of violence in life. Now, he was dead and his corpse was being used to educate doctors, practitioners of a field that was still in its infancy.  
It was quite morbid and exciting at the same time.
