Sinopse

In "Captain January," Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards crafts a charming children's tale infused with themes of adventure and belonging. The narrative follows the life of a young orphan named January, who is taken in by a kind-hearted lighthouse keeper. Set against the backdrop of New England's coastal landscape, Richards employs a lyrical and imaginative prose style, skillfully intertwining humor and sentiment to engage young readers. The book reflects the Victorian era's fascination with nature and innocence while addressing the universal fears and hopes associated with childhood abandonment and the search for a familial bond. Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards, an accomplished author and poet, was deeply influenced by her own life experiences as a feminist and advocate for women's education. Raised in a literary family, her writing reflects a progressive mindset that emphasizes empathy and compassion, evident in her portrayal of January's journey. Richards' commitment to children's literature stemmed from her desire to open up new worlds for young minds, empowering them to find their own paths amidst societal constraints. "Captain January" is highly recommended for readers seeking a heartwarming story that highlights personal growth and the importance of human connection. Ideal for children and adults alike, the book serves as a reminder of the transformative power of kindness and the enduring quest for love and security in a fragmented world.

    The Invisible Man is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells. Originally serialized in Pearson's Weekly in 1897, it was published as a novel the same year. The Invisible Man to whom the title refers is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and who invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it neither absorbs nor reflects light. He carries out this procedure on himself and renders himself invisible, but fails in his attempt to reverse it. A practitioner of random and irresponsible violence, Griffin has become an iconic character in horror fiction.While its predecessors, The Time Machine and The Island of Doctor Moreau, were written using first-person narrators, Wells adopts a third-person objective point of view in The Invisible Man. The novel is considered influential, and helped establish Wells as the "father of science fiction"

It turned out that the oil used in these lanterns were scented butter oil and an extravagant purchase for Jinping County. But the lanterns didn't need that much oil and the rest was taken by the "Buddhas". Actually they were three demons called King of Cold Protection, Heat Protection and Dust Protection changed from rhinoceroses. The trio had a big fight with the demons but Pigsy and Sandy were caught. The monkey retreated and went directly to Heaven to ask for help. With the instructions of Gold Star, he invited Four Beast Stars from the element wood to defeat the rhinoceros demons.
