  The Time Machine is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895. 
  One of the most renowned works of science fiction, The Time Machine reflects on the adventures of The Time Traveller-a man who constructs a machine which allows him to explore what the future has to offer. As he travels to as far as 802,701 AD, The Time Traveller encounters a world dominated by two types of creatures- beautiful and fragile Eloi and repulsive and brutal Morlocks. His journey then turns quickly from a series of observations into a dangerous quest to return back home, as he realizes that Morlocks have stolen his machine.
  A dystopian novel that fascinates the readers from the very beginning, The Time Machine both reflects Wells's sceptical outlook on the future of the Late Victorian England and makes the reader meditate on the future of our civilization.

  Surely enough has been written about F. Scott Fitzgerald, the man who coined "the Jazz Age" and symbolized the Roaring Twenties, whose very name conjures up a meteoric rise and an equally spectacular fall? But the better question might be, why has so much ink been spent on a writer who completed only four novels, who fell from grace in the 1930s only to be resurrected twenty years later? The answer, according to the cultural critic Arthur Krystal, "is the problem that is Fitzgerald." 
   
   
   
  Drawn to the glitter of fame but aspiring to the empyrean heights of Joseph Conrad and James Joyce, Fitzgerald careened from the perfection of The Great Gatsby to the hack world of Hollywood screenwriting, penning stories that were either brilliant distillations of the age or superficial works of fiction. Like America itself, Fitzgerald was a work in progress, a self-created and conflicted human being striving for ideals that neither he nor the nation could ever live up to. 
   
   
   
  In this unusual biography Krystal gives us not only the peripatetic and turbulent life of a cultural icon but also the intellectual sweep of a period in history that created our modern America. Some Unfinished Chaos delivers a nuanced portrait of a man whose various sides embodied the trends, passions, and pursuits of the imperfect society that both glorified and dismissed him.

  Man’s Search for Meaning is a book published in 1946 by Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl. It is an autobiographical and psychological work in which the author recounts his experiences in Nazi concentration camps during World War II and the development of his theory of logotherapy. 
  Through his experience, Frankl argues that the primary driving force in human beings is not the pursuit of pleasure (as Freud claimed) nor the will to power (as Adler maintained), but the search for meaning in life. 
  The book is divided into three parts:Experiences in a Concentration Camp – where he recounts the horrors he lived through in Auschwitz and Dachau.Logotherapy in a Nutshell – where he explains the foundations of his psychological theory.Postscript 1984: The Case for Tragic Optimism – a reflection on the human attitude toward suffering. 
  Throughout the book, Frankl argues that even in the most extreme conditions, human beings can find a purpose that enables them to survive. 
  Man’s Search for Meaning is a deeply inspiring work that blends autobiography with existential psychology. Through his time in the concentration camps, Viktor Frankl shows that human beings can endure any suffering if they find a purpose in their lives. His theory of logotherapy offers a unique approach to confronting existential emptiness and suffering. 
  Frankl leaves us with a powerful lesson: the ultimate human freedom lies in our ability to choose our attitude in any given situation. While we may not always be able to change our circumstances, we can decide how to respond. And in that decision lies our dignity, our humanity, and our purpose. 
  Finally, his theory of logotherapy is not just a therapeutic tool, but a philosophy of life that invites us to reflect on our daily choices and the purpose we give to our existence.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.
