Garis.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A bold scientist builds a new kind of ship and a way to draw power from the Sun itself. With that power come tools never seen before: beams that can slice through armor, devices that can lift weight as if it were nothing, and a method to bend gravity. The new machines change the balance of power across worlds and bring empires to the edge of ruin. Rival fleets and hostile forces race to match the technology, and a desperate struggle spreads across planets and moons. Hidden histories of lost civilizations and strange discoveries in remote places complicate the fight, suggesting the past held secrets that shaped the present conflict.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1854, The Spirit-Rapper: An Autobiography is one of the earliest American novels to grapple with the rise of spiritualism. Orestes A. Brownson, a religious critic and essayist, crafted this fictional memoir to explore the temptations and dangers he saw in séances, mesmerism, and attempts to communicate with the dead. The narrative follows a man whose thirst for hidden knowledge leads him away from traditional faith. Drawn first to mesmerism and occult practices, he soon becomes enmeshed in spirit-rapping-the fashionable séances that claimed to reveal voices from the other world. At first, the messages seem to offer insight and wisdom. But as he follows these spectral guides, their promises unravel into confusion, deception, and despair. Part cautionary tale, part philosophical novel, Brownson's work captures the cultural moment when spiritualism was spreading across America. It blends confession, supernatural encounters, and moral reflection into a story that asks whether truth can ever come from spirits-or whether such paths lead only to delusion. Today, the book stands as a rare document of both 19th-century supernatural belief and its critics, dramatized through the voice of one who fell under its spell.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Published in 1901, Riallaro is the first of two speculative novels written under the pseudonym Godfrey Sweven by New Zealand scholar John Macmillan Brown. The book imagines a hidden archipelago in the South Pacific where exiled groups are forced to develop in isolation, each community shaped by its ruling passion or defect. Into this fragmented world falls a traveler with artificial wings, whose encounters across the islands form a satirical survey of human society. The narrative blends elements of utopia and dystopia. Each island exposes the dangers of allowing one idea, vice, or ideology to dominate unchecked. Some communities fall into grotesque excess, others into harsh repression, and all reveal the consequences of exclusion from the central utopian homeland. The result is both imaginative adventure and philosophical critique, a reflection on the costs of progress and the frailty of human design. Riallaro anticipates many themes of twentieth-century dystopian fiction, foreshadowing the cautionary visions of Huxley and Orwell. At the same time, it stands firmly in the British satirical tradition, echoing the voyages of Swift in its use of fantastical lands as moral allegory. As an early science fantasy, it combines speculative devices with social commentary, offering a vivid window into the anxieties and ambitions of its era.
