Sinossi

This collection of Japanese fairy tales is the outcome of a suggestion made to me indirectly through a friend by Mr. Andrew Lang. They have been translated from the modern version written by Sadanami Sanjin. These stories are not literal translations, and though the Japanese story and all quaint Japanese expressions have been faithfully preserved, they have been told more with the view to interest young readers of the West than the technical student of folk-lore.

At all times, among my friends, both young and old, English or American, I have always found eager listeners to the beautiful legends and fairy tales of Japan, and in telling them I have also found that they were still unknown to the vast majority, and this has encouraged me to write them for the children of the West.

    The Broken Axiom by Alfred Bester - The Laws of Physics State That Two Bodies Cannot Occupy the Same Space at the Same Time-but Dr. Halday Finds a Loophole! 
    Alfred Bester was an American science fiction author, editor, and scriptwriter whose bold imagination and innovative prose reshaped the genre. A native New Yorker, Bester studied psychology and philosophy before turning to writing in the late 1930s, contributing stories to pulps like Thrilling Wonder Stories. During the 1940s he worked extensively in comics, scripting for DC titles such as Superman, Green Lantern, and Batman, where he co-created enduring concepts including the Green Lantern Oath. 
    Bester’s true breakthrough came in the 1950s with two landmark novels: The Demolished Man (1953), the first Hugo Award winner for Best Novel, a dazzling blend of crime fiction and telepathy; and The Stars My Destination (1956), a revenge-driven space opera often hailed as one of science fiction’s greatest works. 
    Beyond novels, Bester’s short stories are regarded as classics for their experimental flair. He also worked in radio, television, and magazine editing, spending time as features editor for Holiday magazine. Though his later novels received mixed reception, Bester’s mid-century works remain milestones of modern science fiction. Celebrated for his wit, linguistic play, and relentless energy, Alfred Bester is remembered as one of the field’s most original and enduring voices.

    Brilliant engineer and ham radio operator Antwan devises transceivers capable of exceptional accuracy. Eager to test his innovation, he recruits geophysicist student Lauren, who together unwittingly stumble upon a singular frequency that seems to defy the very laws of physics. Intrigued and bewildered, they seek the expertise of retired professor and amateur radio astronomer, Dr. Daniel Sullivan, who confirms their discovery. 
    The trio decides to unveil their findings to the world through a TED talk, where Dr. Sullivan dubs their discovery "the God frequency" for its apparent omnipotence, igniting a media frenzy and capturing the attention of government entities wary of the implications. In response, the government confiscates Antwan's transceivers and begins the process of regulating the newfound frequency anomaly and technologies to access it under the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission 
    Unbeknownst to Dr. Sullivan, the God frequency has attracted interest beyond scientific circles. A foreign agent intent on obtaining the frequency and an extremist with a dangerous vendetta separately take up pursuit. As the two threats converge, chaos ensues with Dr. Sullivan at the center. Just as tensions rise and intentions clash, a vigilant government agent is compelled to spring into action.

When a loose page summons ink golems, they must glue the riddle to seal the story.
