  The Food of the Gods and How It...

  H. G. Wells

  "In the world of the small, the large is always a monster."
  
  What happens when science outpaces morality? When two eccentric scientists, Mr. Bensington and Professor Redwood, develop "Herakleophorbia"—a substance that allows for continuous, limitless growth—they envision a world of giant livestock and abundant food. Instead, they unleash a biological revolution. From giant wasps and man-eating rats to a new generation of human "Giants" who stand forty feet tall, the world is irrevocably changed. Wells uses this fantastic premise to craft a biting satire of a society that fears progress and a moving epic about the struggle for a larger, more noble existence.
  
  The Chaos of the Small: The first half of the novel is a brilliant dark comedy. Due to the negligence of a pair of sloppy caretakers, the "Food" leaks into the English countryside, creating a nightmare of gargantuan pests. Wells meticulously describes the terror of a world where common insects and rodents become apex predators, forcing humanity to confront the dangers of its own tinkering.
  
  The War of the Worlds (Small vs. Large): As the human "Children of the Food" grow to adulthood, they find themselves outcasts in a world built for "little people." The novel shifts from science fiction to political allegory, as the "old" world, led by the populist politician Caterham (the "Jack the Giant-killer"), attempts to suppress and destroy the giants. It is a powerful meditation on the "growing pains" of civilization and the fear of the unknown.
  
  A Prophecy of the Future: Wells leaves the reader with a haunting question: Can humanity evolve fast enough to inhabit the world its science has created? The Food of the Gods is an essential read for anyone interested in the ethics of biotechnology and the eternal struggle between the status quo and the future.
  
  Witness the growth of a new world. Purchase "The Food of the Gods" today and see the world through the eyes of a giant.

However, several alternatives have been used, including The Miserables, The Wretched, The Miserable Ones, The Poor Ones, The Wretched Poor, The Victims, and The Dispossessed.[5] Beginning in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the novel follows the lives and interactions of several characters, particularly the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of redemption.Examining the nature of law and grace, the novel elaborates upon the history of France, the architecture and urban design of Paris, politics, moral philosophy, antimonarchism, justice, religion, and the types and nature of romantic and familial love.

  History of Tom Jones a Foundling...

  A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
  BOOK 1: An author ought to consider himself, not as a gentleman who gives a private or eleemosynary treat, but rather as one who keeps a public ordinary, at which all persons are welcome for their money. In the former case, it is well known that the entertainer provides what fare he pleases; and though this should be very indifferent, and utterly disagreeable to the taste of his company, they must not find any fault; nay, on the contrary, good breeding forces them outwardly to approve and to commend whatever is set before them.
