Rise of the Village Minstrels

Sophia Kingsley

Sinossi

In the coastal town of Starhaven, music has fallen silent since the old lighthouse shuttered its beacon. Young fisherboy Maren and aspiring poet Lyssa refuse to let the melodies die. Armed with a battered guitar and seashell percussion, they set sail on a makeshift raft to gather songs from neighboring islands—from storm-taming chants to gentle lullabies and rollicking jigs. Each shared melody brings new hope ashore. Upon their return, Maren and Lyssa unite the villagers as the freshly formed Village Minstrels. Under the relit lighthouse beam, their grand performance proves that even in the darkest nights, music can rekindle community light.

A Journey to the Center of the...

Jules Verne

Journey to the Center of the Earth, is a classic science fiction novel by Jules Verne. It was first published in French in 1864, then reissued in 1867 in a revised and expanded edition. Professor Otto Lidenbrock is the tale's central figure, an eccentric German scientist who believes there are volcanic tubes that reach to the very center of the earth. He, his nephew Axel, and their Icelandic guide Hans rappel into Iceland's celebrated inactive volcano Snæfellsjökull, then contend with many dangers, including cave-ins, subpolar tornadoes, an underground ocean, and living prehistoric creatures from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras (the 1867 revised edition inserted additional prehistoric material in Chaps. 37–39). Eventually the three explorers are spewed back to the surface by an active volcano, Stromboli, located in southern Italy.    The category of subterranean fiction existed well before Verne. However his novel's distinction lay in its well-researched Victorian science and its inventive contribution to the science-fiction subgenre of time travel—Verne's innovation was the concept of a prehistoric realm still existing in the present-day world. Journey inspired many later authors, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in his novel The Lost World and Edgar Rice Burroughs in his Pellucidar series.
