Time and Tide - A Romance of the Moon

Robert S. Ball

Sinopse

In "Time and Tide," Robert S. Ball delves into the intricate interplay of celestial mechanics and natural phenomena, capturing the essence of time's relentless flow and its impact on humanity. Ball employs a rich, descriptive literary style that blends scientific analysis with poetic reflections, engaging readers through vivid imagery and philosophical musings. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a period marked by significant advancements in both astronomy and marine science, the book serves as both an exploration of temporal rhythms and a discourse on the human condition in relation to nature's immutable cycles. Robert S. Ball, a prominent astronomer and advocate for the scientific community, drew inspiration from his lifelong fascination with the cosmos. His career was characterized by both academic rigor and a deep commitment to public education in science, which shaped his narrative in "Time and Tide." This synthesis of scientific inquiry and literary elegance reflects Ball's belief in the necessity of making complex concepts accessible to the general populace, encouraging readers to contemplate their place within the vast, interconnected universe. I highly recommend "Time and Tide" to readers who appreciate a harmonious blend of science and literature. It is a thought-provoking text that not only educates on the mechanics of time and tide but also encourages deeper reflection on our existence amid nature's grand design.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
