  The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is a novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Begun probably in the autumn of 1926, the draft was completed on January 22, 1927 and it remained unrevised and unpublished in his lifetime. It is both the longest of the stories that make up his Dream Cycle and the longest Lovecraft work to feature protagonist Randolph Carter. Along with his 1927 novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, it can be considered one of the significant achievements of that period of Lovecraft's writing. The Dream-Quest combines elements of horror and fantasy into an epic tale that illustrates the scope and wonder of humankind's ability to dream.

  William Butler Yeats was born in Sandymount in County Dublin, Ireland on 13th June 1865. 
  His early years moved between Ireland and England. By his mid-teens he was writing but those works were described as ‘entirely Un-Irish’.  With Ernest Rhys he founded the Rhymers Club. Based at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in Fleet Street it’s best described as a drinking club for performing poets.  Yeats later cited them as ‘The Tragic Generation’.  By now Yeats was writing and publishing poetry and stories that were profoundly based in Irish folklore.   
  Yeats is perhaps best described as Ireland’s national poet in addition to being one of the major twentieth-century literary figures of the English tongue. He represents the ‘Romantic poet of modernism,’ with an extraordinary style created from the outward emphasis on the expression of emotions and the extensive use of symbolism, imagery and allusions.  
  In 1923 his fame was brought to an even wider audience when he received the Nobel Prize in Literature.  
  His personal life was driven by his many relationships in love and by his great interest in oriental mysticism and occultism.  Yeats also wrote prose and drama and, as an ardent Nationalist, established himself as a spokesman of the Irish cause and served as an Irish senator for two terms.  
  W B Yeats died at the Hôtel Idéal Séjour, in Menton, France, on 28th January 1939.  He was 73.

  "Descend into the crater of Snaefellsjökull, and you will reach the center of the earth. I have done it." — Arne Saknussemm
  
  When the eccentric Professor Otto Lidenbrock discovers a cryptic runic manuscript by an ancient Icelandic alchemist, he embarks on an audacious mission: to follow the author's path into the very heart of the planet. Accompanied by his reluctant nephew Axel and their stoic guide Hans, the trio descends into the bowels of a dormant volcano. What they find defies all scientific laws of the 19th century—a vast, sunless world of luminous forests, subterranean oceans, and living relics of the prehistoric past.
  
  A Masterpiece of Scientific Speculation: Verne was a master of "hard" sci-fi, grounding his fantastic tales in the geology and paleontology of his day. As the characters descend, they move backward through time, passing through different geological strata. The novel turns a treacherous expedition into an immersive lesson on the history of our planet.
  
  The Prehistoric Sea: The centerpiece of the adventure is the "Lidenbrock Sea," a massive underground ocean illuminated by a strange electrical phenomenon. Here, the explorers witness a titanic struggle between a Plesiosaur and an Ichthyosaur, creatures long thought extinct. Verne's descriptions of these ancient behemoths remain some of the most vivid in adventure fiction.
  
  A Trio of Contrasts: The story is driven by its characters: the obsessed and brilliant Professor Lidenbrock, the cautious and skeptical Axel, and the unflappable Hans Bjelke. Their dynamic provides a human anchor to the overwhelming wonders of the deep, exploring themes of courage, intellectual curiosity, and the limits of human endurance.
  
  The Great Ascent: Trapped and running out of supplies, the team's journey reaches a fever pitch as they face volcanic eruptions and magnetic storms. Their unconventional "exit" from the Earth's interior is one of the most famous and thrilling finales in the genre.

  THE SISTERS: There was no hope for him this time: it was the third stroke. Night after night I had passed the house (it was vacation time) and studied the lighted square of window: and night after night I had found it lighted in the same way, faintly and evenly.
