Summary

The Sea Lady H. G. Wells - "Much attention has been paid to the "scientific romance" novels of H. G. Wells, a founder of modern science fiction and one of the genre's greatest writers. In comparison, little attention has been given by critics to his works of fantasy, which in the opinion of many, are just as artistic and worthy of study. This work takes a critical look at Wells' little known fantasy The Sea Lady: A Tissue of Moonshine, which is "a parable of dark foreboding that unveils the nothingness of utopian dreams" and foreshadows Franz Kafka's dark fables of the totalitarian age. A lengthy introduction by the editor provides a comprehensive overview of the text and the story of The Sea Lady, and serves to explain the ideas of civil death and every citizen's acting as a public servant, and the concept of totalitarian metaphysics, which deals with a revolt against the limits of the human condition

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski presents a complex narrative, intertwining multiple stories. The main plot follows a family, the Navidsons, who discover that their house on Ash Tree Lane is larger on the inside than the outside. This leads them down a path of exploration into the strange, shifting interior of the house. Simultaneously, a character named Johnny Truant becomes obsessed with a manuscript by a deceased man named Zampanò which documents the Navidsons' story, as well as a mysterious film called "The Navidson Record". Johnny's investigation into the manuscript blurs the lines of reality, as he deals with his own struggles and relationships. The book explores themes of space, perception, the uncanny, and the psychological impact of obsession, through a fragmented and unreliable narrative. The story leaves many questions unanswered about the nature of the house and the characters, creating a sense of unease and ambiguity.

    Witches, Midwives, and Nurses examines how women-led healing was delegitimized to make way for patriarchy, capitalism, and the emerging medical industry. 
     
     
     
    As we watch another agonizing attempt to shift the future of healthcare in the United States, we are reminded of the longevity of this crisis, and how firmly entrenched we are in a system that doesn't work. 
     
     
     
    First published by the Feminist Press in 1973, Witches, Midwives, and Nurses is an essential book about the corruption of the medical establishment and its historic roots in witch hunters. In this new and updated edition, Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English delve into the current fascination with and controversies about witches, exposing our fears and fantasies. They build on their classic exposé on the demonization of women healers and the political and economic monopolization of medicine. This quick history brings us up-to-date, exploring today's changing attitudes toward childbirth, alternative medicine, and modern-day witches.
