  In 1914, H. G. Wells wrote about a world consumed by atomic fire. It wasn't fiction—it was prophecy.
  
  The World Set Free is a startlingly relevant novel that documents a future global conflict ignited by the invention of ceaseless, chain-reacting atomic bombs (coined "atom bombs" by Wells himself). H. G. Wells, the greatest futurist of his time, forces you to confront the terrifying destructive power of science unleashed. But the novel is not just a tale of war. After the devastation, humanity rises from the ashes, establishing a new, enlightened World Government and achieving a true utopian society.
  
  This novel is a powerful blend of military science fiction, philosophical debate, and hopeful social engineering. It is one of the most historically significant pieces of speculative fiction ever written, influencing scientists like Leo Szilard in the development of real atomic weaponry.

  Two friends set out on foot at the edge of autumn, trading the noise of the city for quiet roads and golden leaves. With no fixed destination, they walk through the backroads of upstate New York, staying in small inns, visiting country towns, and living on simple pleasures. 
  Along the way, they reflect on poetry, friendship, freedom, and the joy of slowing down. October Vagabonds is part travel memoir, part celebration of nature, and part quiet rebellion against the rush of modern life. 
  This is a story for those who dream of wandering, who long for crisp air and fire-lit nights, and who find meaning in moments that ask nothing in return. 
  Perfect for fans of lyrical prose, slow travel, and stories that value stillness over spectacle.

  Published in 1899, The Solitary Summer is a charming companion to von Arnim’s earlier novel Elizabeth and Her German Garden. As with its prequel, the novel is semi-autobiographical and in the form of a series of diary entries. The narrator decides to spend one summer alone in her country house far away from the demands and distractions of the world. She offers us a witty and lyrical account of a solitary summer, filled with reading and reflections on her beloved garden. However, her months removed from society turn out to be less solitary than planned: there is her husband, ‘the Man of Wrath’, to pacify, three young children to amuse, and the arrival of a regiment of soldiers. Light-hearted in tone, The Solitary Summer describes a voyage of self-discovery set against the idyllic backdrop of an ever- changing summer garden.
