Beschreibung

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is an 1820 short story by American author Washington Irving, contained in his collection of 34 essays and short stories titled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. Irving wrote the story while living in Birmingham, England.
Along with Irving's companion piece "Rip Van Winkle," "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially during Halloween because of a character known as the Headless Horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball in battle.
It has been adapted for the screen several times, including a 1922 silent film and, in 1949, a Walt Disney animation as one of two segments in the package film The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.
Verfügbar seit: 25.07.2024.

    Conquest Over Time follows Pat Travis, a veteran Contact Man whose legendary reputation has begun to fade just when he needs it most. Racing to reach the newly opened planet Mert, Travis arrives first — only to discover he has landed on the worst possible day according to the planet’s strict astrological laws. From that moment forward, everything spirals into chaos. The streets are deserted, his welcome is hostile, and a strange chain of events sends him hurtling into the criminal underworld beneath the city. Surrounded by danger, superstition, and an unfamiliar culture, Travis must navigate a society that believes every moment of life is predetermined by the stars. But Travis, battered but unbroken, refuses to be defeated by fate. 
    Shaara builds a world filled with tension, cultural complexity, and sly humor. The deeper Travis goes, the more he discovers about this strange planet — including the startling brilliance of a young sewer-dweller who may change everything. His journey becomes part survival, part diplomacy, and part race against cosmic superstition, all leading to a clever and satisfying resolution. 
    Michael Shaara (1928–1988) wrote science fiction throughout the 1950s and 60s before becoming world-famous for The Killer Angels, which won the Pulitzer Prize. Before that breakout success, he published dozens of imaginative, twist-driven sci-fi tales in the leading magazines of the era. His early work often blended suspense, philosophical reflection, and wry human observation — qualities already visible in Conquest Over Time. 
    Shaara brought depth, pacing, and a storyteller’s instinct to every genre he touched. His legacy today spans classic literature, military fiction, and the golden age of science fiction.

    Hall Of Mirrors by Fredric Brown - It is a tough decision to make—whether to give up your life so you can live it over again! 
    For an instant you think it is temporary blindness, this sudden dark that comes in the middle of a bright afternoon. 
    It must be blindness, you think; could the sun that was tanning you have gone out instantaneously, leaving you in utter blackness? 
    Then the nerves of your body tell you that you are standing, whereas only a second ago you were sitting comfortably, almost reclining, in a canvas chair. In the patio of a friend's house in Beverly Hills. Talking to Barbara, your fiancée. Looking at Barbara—Barbara in a swim suit—her skin golden tan in the brilliant sunshine, beautiful. 
    You wore swimming trunks. Now you do not feel them on you; the slight pressure of the elastic waistband is no longer there against your waist. You touch your hands to your hips. You are naked. And standing. 
    Whatever has happened to you is more than a change to sudden darkness or to sudden blindness. 
    You raise your hands gropingly before you. They touch a plain smooth surface, a wall. You spread them apart and each hand reaches a corner. You pivot slowly. A second wall, then a third, then a door. You are in a closet about four feet square. 
    Your hand finds the knob of the door. It turns and you push the door open. 
    There is light now. The door has opened to a lighted room ... a room that you have never seen before.
