Sinopsis

A world once ruled by science... now silent.

Published in 1912, The Scarlet Plague is Jack London's prophetic vision of a world devastated by a deadly pandemic. Set in the year 2073, decades after a mysterious plague wiped out most of humanity, the novel follows an elderly survivor as he recounts the fall of civilization to his grandchildren—now primitive and skeptical of his tales.

With chilling foresight, London explores the fragility of progress, the collapse of modern society, and the cyclical nature of human ignorance. More relevant than ever, this early dystopian work reads like a warning across time.

🔥 This edition includes:

The complete, unabridged original text

Stark illustrations capturing the desolate post-pandemic world

Kindle-optimized formatting for immersive reading

📚 A must-read for fans of dystopian fiction, pandemic thrillers, and early science fiction.

    Despite the ups and downs of his personal life and professional career—even in the face of deafness—Beethoven remained remarkably consistent in his most basic convictions about his art. This inner consistency, writes the music historian Mark Evan Bonds, provides the key to understanding the composer's life and works. Beethoven approached music as he approached life, weighing whatever occupied him from a variety of perspectives: a melodic idea, a musical genre, a word or phrase, a friend, a lover, a patron, money, politics, religion. His ability to unlock so many possibilities from each helps explain the emotional breadth and richness of his output as a whole, from the heaven-storming Ninth Symphony to the eccentric Eighth, and from the arcane Great Fugue to the crowd-pleasing Wellington's Victory. Beethoven's works, Bonds argues, are a series of variations on his life. The iconic scowl so familiar from later images of the composer is but one of many attitudes he could assume and project through his music. The supposedly characteristic furrowed brow and frown, moreover, came only after his time. Discarding tired myths about the composer, Bonds proposes a new way of listening to Beethoven by hearing his music as an expression of his entire self, not just his scowling self.

Numerous examples from classical and contemporary literature illustrate his principles, making the book a theoretical guide and hands-on manual for improving storytelling skills."The Art of Dramatic Writing" has left a lasting impact, influencing generations of writers and remaining a staple in creative writing programs.

    A heartwarming philosophical meditation on how to live a fulfilling life—inspired by the inherent happiness of dogs. 
     
     
     
    If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. 
     
     
     
    In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.
