Synopsis

"Man's soul has always been a battleground; now the battlefield is the atom itself."

Written on the eve of WWI, this startlingly prophetic novel famously predicted the invention of "Atomic Bombs." Wells imagines a world where the discovery of a radioactive element, Carolinum, grants humanity limitless power—and the means for total destruction.

The Nuclear Prophecy: Decades before the Manhattan Project, Wells described bombs dropped from "aeroplanes" that created "continuous" radioactive explosions, rendering cities uninhabitable.

From Ruin to Utopia: After a devastating "Last War," survivors gather to dismantle nationalism and currency, forging a unified World State fueled by clean atomic energy.

A Modern Warning: A profound meditation on whether human political structures can survive the immense power of our own technology.

Witness the birth of the atomic age. Purchase "The World Set Free" today.

    Christmas has a way of finding the lonely, the forgotten, and those who no longer dare to hope. In Christmas at Red Butte, Montgomery gifts us a tale wrapped in longing and tied with the ribbon of unexpected joy. The cold prairies seem empty, the holiday spirit a distant dream—until a single spark of kindness turns the season into something magical. This is a story of simple people whose hearts beat in quiet resilience, of family bonds stretched thin by fate yet mended by love, and of Christmas arriving not in grand gestures, but in the warmth of an open door. Montgomery, with her signature touch of gentle wonder, reminds us that even the bleakest December can hold a miracle.

    Elizabeth von Arnim, who is best known for her later novel The Enchanted April, married a Prussian aristocrat and, with their five children, lived in Nassenheide, Pomerania. Elizabeth and Her German Garden is a semi-autobiographical novel about the joy that the protagonist finds in the delights of her Pomeranian garden, which provides relief from the stifling environment of her household. The novel was originally published anonymously because von Arnim feared that her husband, whom she satirised in the book, would disapprove.Each season of the year is wittily recorded, bringing new events and visitors, conveyed through von Arnim’s idiosyncratic perspective, while the ‘kingdom of heaven’ of the garden provides a calm place where the author finds solace.
