Summary

In "That Worlds May Live," Nelson S. Bond weaves a rich tapestry of speculative fiction that delves into the complex interplay between humanity and the cosmos. The narrative blends elements of science fiction and fantasy, characterized by Bond's lyrical prose and philosophical musings. Set against the backdrop of a future where technology and nature coexist uneasily, the story challenges readers to ponder the ethical implications of human progress and the interdependence of all life forms. Bond's skillful world-building and imaginative scenarios invite a reflection on contemporary societal issues, while embodying the spirit of mid-20th-century speculative literature. Nelson S. Bond, a notable figure in American science fiction, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the early days of radio and his engagement with the vibrant literary community of his time. His penchant for blending the fantastical with the plausible stems from his journalism background, coupled with a passionate exploration of humanity's place in an ever-expanding universe. This background imbues "That Worlds May Live" with a sense of urgency and relevance, as Bond reflects on themes of survival and coexistence that resonate across generations. I wholeheartedly recommend "That Worlds May Live" to readers who seek not only entertainment but also a profound exploration of moral dilemmas in a futuristic context. Bond's work remains a pertinent commentary on the challenges facing our world today, inviting us to consider our responsibilities as stewards of life in its many forms. This book is a must-read for those with an interest in the crossroads of fantasy, ethics, and societal transformation.

    There was manifestly nothing in the external appearance of this particular house to bear out the tales of the horror that was said to reign within. It was neither lonely nor unkempt. It stood, crowded into a corner of the square, and looked exactly like the houses on either side of it. It had the same number of windows as its neighbours; the same balcony overlooking the gardens; the same white steps leading up to the heavy black front door; and, in the rear, there was the same narrow strip of green, with neat box borders, running up to the wall that divided it from the backs of the adjoining houses. Apparently, too, the number of chimney pots on the roof was the same; the breadth and angle of the eaves; and even the height of the dirty area railings...FROM THE BOOKS.

    Gogol's Dead Souls in its first English dress, published in 1854 as a picture of Russian country life for readers who had never seen one. Chichikov buys the names of serfs who have died since the last census, and each landowner he visits is a portrait of a way of being ruined. The translator's title suits the disguise: this was sold to England as travel and is one of the great comic novels.

    A small-town couple learn they are named in the will of a distant relative for thirty thousand dollars, and spend the money, in imagination, many times over before the will is read. Twain wrote it late, after his own speculations had cost him a fortune and a lecture tour to pay it back, and the title story is the coldest thing he ever did with money. The other tales here range from broad farce to the eerie, and share one subject: what people will believe when it pays them to.
