Sinopsis

In "The Little Glass Man, and Other Stories," Wilhelm Hauff presents a collection of enchanting tales that delve into the fantastical and often bewildering aspects of human experience. Written in early 19th-century Germany, Hauff's literary style masterfully combines elements of fairy tales, folklore, and romanticism, creating a realm where the ordinary intertwines with the extraordinary. Each story invites readers into a vivid world populated by whimsical characters, moral dilemmas, and poignant reflections on society and human nature, highlighting Hauff's gift for blending allegory with imaginative storytelling. Wilhelm Hauff, a prominent figure in the German literary scene, was deeply influenced by the oral traditions of storytelling and the burgeoning Romantic movement. His upbringing in a culturally rich environment and his education underscored the significance of folklore, which permeates this collection. Hauff's unique perspective as both a writer and a social commentator provides an insightful lens through which to explore the themes of identity, morality, and the intersection of reality and fantasy, reflecting the era's quest for understanding in an increasingly complex world. This collection is highly recommended for those interested in exploring the convergence of folklore and narrative artistry. Hauff's tales are not merely stories; they are timeless explorations of the human condition, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives while basking in the glow of Hauff's imaginative world. A must-read for enthusiasts of classic fairy tales and nuanced storytelling.

    When Petey Corbin is born in 1920, no one knows about cerebral palsy. After struggling to care for her frail infant who is often racked by seizures, Petey's mother reluctantly places him in an asylum. There, he is labeled an idiot and ignored. Few people look beyond his twisted body to see the intelligence in his eyes. Then another young resident, Calvin Anders, arrives in Petey's ward. As he learns to understand Petey's garbled sounds, Calvin becomes his spokesman and best friend. Years later, however, they are separated when Petey is moved to a nursing home. Alone and withdrawn, Petey wonders if he will ever find another person who understands him. Ben Mikaelsen, award-winning author of Rescue Josh McGuire, Stranded, and other popular books for young adults, has crafted a poignant tale of friendship and triumph over disabilities. Petey was chosen by the New York Public Library as one of its 100 Books for Reading and Sharing, and it won the Western Writers of America Award.

    Technocracy is a concept that has evolved over time, yet its core principles remain focused on the idea that governance should be driven by scientific knowledge and technical expertise rather than political ideologies or populist sentiments. The term "technocracy" was first introduced in the early 20th century by engineers and economists who believed that the efficient management of resources and societal development could only be achieved through the application of scientific principles. Technocrats argued that political leaders, often with little to no understanding of complex systems, were ill-equipped to make decisions that could optimize society’s functioning, particularly in times of rapid industrialization and technological advancement. 
    The origins of technocracy can be traced back to the industrial revolution, when technological innovations began reshaping economies and societies. However, the movement gained significant traction in the early 1930s during the Great Depression, a period of economic turmoil that called into question traditional governance models. During this time, scholars like Howard Scott and engineers from the Technocratic Movement in the United States called for the establishment of a technocratic society where engineers, scientists, and other experts would manage the economy based on data-driven decision-making rather than political influence. They believed that such a system would eliminate inefficiencies, social inequalities, and the corruption they associated with political governance.

    Jonah of the Jove-Run is a high-tension space adventure from Ray Bradbury, written at the dawn of the Golden Age of science fiction. The colony on Jupiter is starving, and the only ship capable of saving the settlers must make a dangerous run through the asteroid belt. But its radar computers are damaged, its replacement equipment has been destroyed, and the last person anyone wants to trust is an aging, half-forgotten man named Nibley—a once-great navigator with a mind built for orbits, arcs, and impossible calculations… when he’s sober. 
    Bradbury builds the suspense one rising heartbeat at a time as fear, sabotage, loyalty, and desperation collide in deep space. Is Nibley a washed-up drunk clinging to fading glory, or the only man alive who can guide the ship through a swirling storm of rock and death? And when the moment comes, what price will he pay to prove the universe wrong about him? 
    Ray Bradbury is one of the most influential voices in 20th-century speculative fiction, known for blending emotional depth with big science-fiction ideas. Before Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles, Bradbury was writing sharp, character-driven stories for pulp magazines—work that revealed the humanity behind the rockets, robots, and alien skies. His early short fiction, including this one, shows the beginning of the poetic, imaginative style that would later define modern sci-fi. 
    Jonah of the Jove-Run is vintage Bradbury: dramatic, human, and thrilling all the way to its unforgettable final scene.
