"The world was full of people... and then, in a moment, the world was empty." The year is 2073. An old man, clad in goatskins and wandering the ruins of a wild California, tells his skeptical, savage grandsons about a world they can hardly imagine: a world of airships, teeming cities, and a miracle called "science." He is Professor James Howard Smith, one of the few survivors of the "Scarlet Death" that decimated the global population in 2013. As he recounts the terrifying speed with which the plague spread and the brutal chaos that followed, London delivers a stark warning about the fragility of our modern world and the enduring power of nature. A Blueprint for Post-Apocalyptica: Jack London was the first to master the "shattered world" aesthetic. He describes iconic landmarks like the San Francisco Bay Area reclaimed by forests and wolves. The novel explores the "Great Regression," where the descendants of scholars and billionaires have become illiterate hunters, losing the hard-won knowledge of their ancestors in just two generations. The Biological Terror: Unlike many Victorian "plague" stories, London focuses on the terrifying efficiency of the pathogen. The Scarlet Death kills within hours, turning the skin red and paralyzing the body. Through the Professor's eyes, we witness the terrifying realization that no amount of wealth or technology can stop a microscopic enemy once it reaches critical mass. Witness the end of the world.

"The Haunted House" is a story series published in 1859 for the weekly periodical All the Year Round. It was "Conducted by Charles Dickens", with Charles Dickens writing the opening and closing stories, framing stories by Dickens himself and five other authors.
The story appeared in the Extra Christmas Number on 13 December 1859. Dickens began a tradition of Christmas publications with A Christmas Carol in 1843 and his Christmas stories soon became a national institution. The Haunted House was his 1859 offering.
In Dickens's opening story, The Mortals in the House, the narrator's ("John") health "required a temporary residence in the country." Knowing this, a friend of the narrator had chanced to drive by the house-situated close to a railroad stop mid-way between Northern England and London-and had written to the narrator suggesting he travel down from the North and look the place over. It was a large mid-eighteenth-century manor house on two square acres with a "sadly neglected garden," recently cheaply repaired, and "much too closely and heavily shadowed by trees." The house itself is "stiff ... cold ... [and] formal" and "in as bad taste, as could possibly be desired by the most loyal admirer of the whole quartet of [King] Georges." It was "ill-placed, ill-built, ill-planned, and ill-fitted." It was "damp ... not free from dry rot" and redolent with the "flavour of rats."

War and Peace is a literary work mixed with chapters on history and philosophy by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy. It was first published serially, then published in its entirety in 1869. It is regarded as one of Tolstoy's finest literary achievements and remains an internationally praised classic of world literature. Book 11: 1812: Absolute continuity of motion is not comprehensible to the human mind. Laws of motion of any kind become comprehensible to man only when he examines arbitrarily selected elements of that motion; but at the same time, a large proportion of human error comes from the arbitrary division of continuous motion into discontinuous elements.Mostra libro
