When The Sleeper Wakes - Dystopian Classic

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "When The Sleeper Wakes," H. G. Wells explores the consequences of unbridled technological advancement and social change set in a dystopian future. Through the narrative of Graham, who awakens from a long slumber to find a drastically altered world, Wells employs a blend of speculative fiction and social commentary that critiques the capitalist paradigm and the plight of the working classes. His intricate yet accessible prose, rich with vivid imagery and philosophical introspection, positions the novel within the broader context of late 19th-century industrialization, echoing the anxieties of a society on the brink of unprecedented change. H. G. Wells, a pivotal figure in the development of science fiction, was deeply influenced by the social upheavals of his time, including the rise of socialism and the discourse surrounding modernity. His extensive knowledge of science and his commitment to exploring the implications of societal evolution led him to craft this cautionary tale. Wells's own experiences, from his humble beginnings to his eventual status as a public intellectual, are reflected in the novel's exploration of class struggles and human resilience. This thought-provoking narrative is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of technology, society, and ethics. "When The Sleeper Wakes" not only entertains but also challenges readers to reflect on their own societal values and the trajectory of progress in their lives, making it an essential work for both enthusiasts of speculative fiction and modern philosophical discourse.

Alpha Nicholas - Marked As Your...

Becky J

"The first night I saw you I fought every emotion, every instinct and I was a fool for doing it. The moment I laid eyes on you I should have claimed you, thrown you over my shoulder and brought you up to our room to mate and mark you. You should already be wearing my mark and officially be known as the Luna of this pack but I didn't do any of that. Instead, I walked away like a fucking idiot and worst of all I hurt you when I had no right to. Every day I wish I could go back to that day and change how I reacted but I can't, and so now I have to pay for my behaviour and that means waiting until you are ready to accept me as your mate and my Luna, until you are ready to wear my mark."

The Alpha Who Saved Me

Stacy Rush

They came in and wiped out my pack, leaving me an orphan at the age of fifteen, but then Alpha Declan came in and saved me, bringing me into his own pack. I've been living with the Storm River pack for three years now, training and learning how to fight, so when the time comes, I can kill the Alpha that took my family and pack away from me.But what do you do when you start to fall for the one who saved you to begin with? The one that took you under his wing when you had nothing left? The one who kissed you first, and made you feel things that you didn't feel before? I shouldn't be with him; he isn't my mate. I've yet to scent my mate, but Declan is too delicious to pass up. He's already saved me once, but can he save me from falling for him when I know my Goddess-given mate is out there somewhere?
 
I feel us moving and then I’m being placed on the hood of his Tesla. This puts me so my core is up against his hardness, and oh my Goddess, he feels monstrous! It’s a good thing that I’m not his mate, because I don’t think I’d be able to take it. It doesn’t stop me from rubbing against it, though, as tingles begin to form, and I moan.“That’s it, sweetheart, rub yourself against me and come for me. I want to see what you look like when you fall apart in my arms.” His command washes over me and I come instantly.
