Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus

The California edition of the Pennyroyal Press "Frankenstein" unites the dark side of Barry Moser's art with the classic 1818 text of Mary Shelley's tale of moral transfiguration. In a vivid sequence of woodcuts, the reader witnesses the birth of the "monster" as Moser shapes him from darkness and gives him a form simultaneously ghastly in its malice and transfixing in its suffering.

The Time Machine

'So, in the end, above ground you must have the Haves, pursuing pleasure and comfort and beauty, and below ground the Have-nots, the Workers...' At a Victorian dinner party, in Richmond, London, the Time Traveller returns to tell his extraordinary tale of mankind's future in the year 802,701 AD. It is a dystopian vision of Darwinian evolution, with humans split into an above-ground species of Eloi, and their troglodyte brothers. The first book H. G. Wells published, The Time Machine is a scientific romance that helped invent the genre of science fiction and the time travel story. Even before its serialisation had finished in the spring of 1895, Wells had been declared 'a man of genius', and the book heralded a fifty year career of a major cultural and political controversialist. It is a sardonic rejection of Victorian ideals of progress and improvement and a detailed satirical commentary on the Decadent culture of the 1890s. This edition features a contextual introduction, detailed explanatory notes, and two essays Wells wrote just prior to the publication of his first book.

Dracula

"Las de Bram Stoker y Jonathan Haker fueron vidas paralelas. Stoker era el secretario particular de Henry Irving, un reputado actor shakespeariano y propietario del Lyceum Theatre de Londres; Harker, el del enigmático conde Drácula, quien lo convocó a su castillo de Transilvania para negociar la adquisición de una mansión en Londres. No es casual que el personaje de Drácula se inspire en las facciones e idiosincrasia de Irving, ni que stoker hiciese una lectura pública en el Lyceum Theatre días antes de su edición. Drácula es la novela vampírica por antonomasia. En ella se concitan los grandes eje s temáticos del subgénero: la lucha entre el bien y el mal y la sexualidad del vampiro, con una estética victoriana y un despliegue estilístico abrumador. Todo ello la convierte en un clásico incontestable e imperecedero." --

Brave New World

Un mundo feliz es un clásico de la literatura de este siglo. Con ironía mordiente, el genial autor inglés plasma una sombría metáfora sobre el futuro, muchas de cuyas previsiones se han materializado, acelerada e inquietantemente, en los últimos años. La novela describe un mundo en el que finalmente se han cumplido los peores vaticinios: triunfan los dioses del consumo y la comodidad, y el orbe se organiza en diez zonas en apariencia seguras y estables. Sin embargo, este mundo ha sacrificado valores humanos esenciales, y sus habitantes son procreados in vitro a imagen y semejanza de una cadena de montaje... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Aldous Huxley is rightly considered a prophetic genius and one of the most important literary and philosophical voices of the 20th Century, and Brave New World is his masterpiece. From the author of The Doors of Perception, Island, and countless other works of fiction, non-fiction, philosophy, and poetry, comes this powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations. Brave New World remains absolutely relevant to this day as both a cautionary dystopian tale in the vein of the George Orwell classic 1984, and as thought-provoking, thoroughly satisfying entertainment.

The Iron Heel

First published in the year 1908, famous writer Jack London's dystopian novel 'The Iron Heel' chronicles the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States. "It cannot be said that the Everhard Manuscript is an important historical document. To the historian it bristles with errors—not errors of fact, but errors of interpretation. Looking back across the seven centuries that have lapsed since Avis Everhard completed her manuscript, events, and the bearings of events, that were confused and veiled to her, are clear to us. She lacked perspective. She was too close to the events she writes about. Nay, she was merged in the events she has described." -Preface

The Invisible Man

In this renowned novel by H.G. Wells, a heavily disguised man takes up residence at a rural English inn and begins performing secret experiments, leading to intense curiosity from the locals. Eventually, the mysterious man, a scientist who has discovered the key to invisibility, clashes with the villagers and progressively becomes more unhinged and dangerous as he uses his powers for self-serving purposes. Published and set at the turn of the 20th century, the book highlights the perils of unchecked scientific hubris.

Flatland

"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" is a satirical novella that critiques Victorian society through the lens of geometry and dimensional allegory. The story is narrated by A Square, a mathematician living in the two-dimensional world of Flatland. The inhabitants of Flatland are geometric figures, with social status determined by their regularity and number of sides. Women are straight lines, relegated to the lowest status and perceived as dangerous due to their ability to become invisible.

The War of the Worlds

La obra de Wells ha influido largamente a la tradición literaria de la ciencia ficción. La guerra de los mundos narra por primera vez en la historia de la literatura un tema que será recurrente desde entonces y originará todo un subgénero dentro de la ciencia ficción: la invasión de la Tierra por extraterrestres procedentes de Marte. A través de esta fábula en la que ocupan un lugar central las descripciones científicas, las premoniciones sobre el futuro de la tecnología y los entresijos de la política, H. G. Wells nos habla sobre la vanidad y la seguridad ficticia de una humanidad autosatisfecha, y los peligros que acechan su supervivencia. Su presencia ineludible se descubre así en el imaginario de autores consagrados del género como Félix J. Palma, que firma la introducción que abre la presente edición. Asimismo, recuperamos la clásica traducción que en su día hizo Julio Vacarezza y de la que han disfrutado generaciones enteras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells. It first appeared in serialized form in 1897, published simultaneously in Pearson's Magazine in the UK and Cosmopolitan magazine in the US. The first appearance in book form was published by William Heinemann of London in 1898. It is the first-person narrative of an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and that of his younger brother in London as Earth is invaded by Martians. Written between 1895 and 1897, it is one of the earliest stories that detail a conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race. The novel is one of the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon. The War of the Worlds has two parts, Book One: The Coming of the Martians and Book Two: The Earth under the Martians. The narrator, a philosophically inclined author, struggles to return to his wife while seeing the Martians lay waste to the southern country outside London. Book One also imparts the experience of his brother, also unnamed, who describes events as they deteriorate in the capital, forcing him to escape the Martian onslaught by boarding a paddle steamer near Tillingham, on the Essex coast. The plot has been related to invasion literature of the time. The novel has been variously interpreted as a commentary on evolutionary theory, British Imperialism, and generally Victorian superstitions, fears and prejudices. At the time of publication it was classified as a scientific romance, like his earlier novel The Time Machine. The War of the Worlds has been both popular (having never gone out of print) and influential, spawning half a dozen feature films, radio dramas, a record album, various comic book adaptations, a television series, and sequels or parallel stories by other authors. It has even influenced the work of scientists, notably Robert Hutchings Goddard.

Vingt mille lieues sous les mers

Vingt mille lieues sous les mers est un roman d'aventures de Jules Verne, paru en 1869-1870.Cette oeuvre a fait l'objet de nombreuses adaptations au cin�ma, � la t�l�vision ainsi qu'en bande dessin�e.L'apparition d'une b�te monstrueuse en 1866 dans plusieurs mers du globe d�fraie la chronique. L'animal, rapide, fusiforme et phosphorescent, est responsable de plusieurs naufrages, brisant le bois des navires avec une force colossale. De retour d'une exp�dition dans le Nebraska, Pierre Aronnax, professeur suppl�ant au Mus�um d'histoire naturelle de Paris, �met l'hypoth�se d'un narval g�ant.Les compagnies d'assurances maritimes menacent d'augmenter leurs prix et demandent que le monstre soit �limin�. Une grande chasse est alors organis�e � bord de l'Abraham Lincoln, fleuron de la marine am�ricaine, men� par le commandant Farragut. Aronnax re�oit une lettre du secr�taire de la Marine lui demandant de rejoindre l'exp�dition pour repr�senter la France. Le scientifique embarque avec son fid�le domestique flamand, Conseil. A bord, ils font la connaissance de Ned Land, harponneur originaire de Qu�bec. Apr�s des mois de navigation, la confrontation avec le monstre a enfin lieu, et l'Abraham Lincoln est endommag�. Un choc entre le monstre et la fr�gate projette Aronnax, Conseil et Ned par-dessus bord. Ils �chouent finalement sur le dos du monstre, qui n'est autre qu'un sous-marin en t�le arm�e. Les naufrag�s sont faits prisonniers et se retrouvent � bord du myst�rieux appareil. Ils font alors connaissance du capitaine Nemo, qui refuse de leur rendre la libert�. � Vous �tes venus surprendre un secret que nul homme au monde ne doit p�n�trer, le secret de toute mon existence !

The Poison Belt

The Poison Belt is a science fiction novel by British writer Arthur Conan Doyle, the second book about Professor Challenger. Written in 1913, much of it takes place in a single room in Challenger's house in Sussex. This would be the last story written about Challenger until the 1920s, by which time Doyle's spiritualist beliefs had begun to influence his writing.

Fahrenheit 451

«Era estupendo quemar. Constituía un placer especial ver las cosas consumidas, ver los objetos ennegrecidos, cómo cambiaban.» / Un clásico de la ciencia ficción. Fahrenheit 451 ofrece la historia de un sombrío y horroroso futuro. Montag, el protagonista, pertenece a una extraña brigada de bomberos cuya misión, paradójicamente, no es la de sofocar incendios sino la de provocarlos para quemar libros. Porque en el país de Montag está terminantemente prohibido leer. Porque leer obliga a pensar, y en el país de Montag está prohibido pensar. Porque leer impide ser ingenuamente feliz, y en el país de Montag hay que ser feliz a la fuerza.

De la terre à la lune

Resume Apres la fin de la Guerre de Secession, le Gun Club de Baltimore, club d'artilleurs, vegete par manque d'activite. Son president, Impey Barbicane, propose tres serieusement d'envoyer un boulet de canon sur la Lune. Apres plusieurs reunions, le Gun Club s'organise et lance une collecte de fonds en direction de toute la planete. Apres avoir recolte l'argent necessaire, le projet prend forme sous la forme d'un gigantesque canon d'une conception inspiree des Columbiad americains. La volonte du club est de mener l'experience sur le territoire des Etats-Unis. Apres s'etre renseigne aupres de l'observatoire de Cambridge pour connaitre les contraintes physiques (vitesse, date, lieu) favorisant leur projet, les membres du club determinent les caracteristiques du canon, du projectile et de l'explosif. Ils choisissent egalement un site pres de Tampa en Floride pour y preparer le tir. Un telescope est enfin construit dans les Rocheuses afin de pouvoir observer au mieux le projectile durant son vol. Le Gun Club recoit un telegramme du Francais Michel Ardan, qui propose de fabriquer un projectile creux (au lieu du boulet plein prevu) dans lequel il pourrait prendre place afin d'aller sur la Lune. Apres avoir verifie l'existence de ce Francais, Barbicane suspend la fabrication du projectile. Arrive aux Etats-Unis, Ardan convainc l'opinion publique de la possibilite de son idee. Seul Nicholl, adversaire et rival de Barbicane, s'oppose a ce projet, de la meme facon qu'il s'etait oppose au projet initial de Barbicane. Ardan resout le conflit en persuadant les deux hommes d'entreprendre avec lui ce voyage vers la Lune. Le tir est un succes. Sur Terre, apres l'enthousiasme arrive l'inquietude, car il est impossible de suivre le projectile a cause des nuages. Au bout de quelques jours, celui-ci est finalement decouvert en orbite autour de la Lune et c'est cette partie qui sera contee dans la suite."

Voyage au Centre de la Terre

Le chef-d'oeuvre d'un génie du roman d'aventure."Voyage au centre de la Terre" est un roman d'aventures, écrit en 1864 par Jules Verne. Il fut publié en édition originale in-18 le 25 novembre 1864, puis en grand in-octavo le 13 mai 1867. Le texte de 1867 comporte deux chapitres de plus (45 au lieu de 43) que celui de 1864. "Voyage au centre de la Terre" est le troisième roman d'aventure que publie Jules Verne après "Cinq semaines en ballon" paru en 1863.Le roman traite de la découverte d'un manuscrit runique ancien par un savant allemand qui, avec son neveu et leur guide, entreprennent un voyage vers le centre de la Terre en y entrant par un volcan islandais éteint, le Sneffels (c'est-à-dire le Snæfellsjökull).Le roman est un habile mélange de données scientifiques, d'extrapolations osées et d'aventure très représentatif de ce que Verne publie par la suite. L'introduction du roman reflète l'engouement d'alors pour une science jeune, la cryptologieN 1. La suite enchaîne sur une description de l'Islande de la fin du xixe siècle, puis sur une vaste introduction à deux autres sciences en plein essor, la paléontologie et la géologie.

The food of the gods and how it came to earth

In 'The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth,' H. G. Wells intricately weaves a narrative that explores themes of science, nature, and the human condition through the lens of speculative fiction. The novel examines the consequences of a revolutionary substance, a transformative food capable of stimulating vast growth in living beings. Through vivid descriptions and rich dialogue, Wells constructs a cautionary tale that critiques human ambition and the ethical dilemmas surrounding scientific experimentation, positioning the story within the burgeoning intellectual climate of the late 19th century, marked by rapid industrialization and advances in science. H. G. Wells, a titan of early science fiction, was profoundly influenced by the social and scientific upheavals of his time. Born in 1866, he navigated a world rife with technological innovation, which fueled his imagination and concern for societal progress. Wells's keen insights into human behavior, coupled with his formal education in biology, catalyzed the creation of this novel, prompting readers to consider what might unfold in the pursuit of knowledge unchecked by moral considerations. 'The Food of the Gods' is highly recommended for readers intrigued by the interplay between science and ethics. Wells's masterful storytelling invites a profound reflection on the responsibilities accompanying technological advancements, making it a timeless read for anyone interested in the moral quandaries of scientific discovery.

The Handmaid's Tale

Now a Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss. The Handmaid's Tale is an instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from "the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction" (New York Times) The Handmaid’s Tale is a novel of such power that the reader will be unable to forget its images and its forecast. Set in the near future, it describes life in what was once the United States and is now called the Republic of Gilead, a monotheocracy that has reacted to social unrest and a sharply declining birthrate by reverting to, and going beyond, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. The regime takes the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with bizarre consequences for the women and men in its population. The story is told through the eyes of Offred, one of the unfortunate Handmaids under the new social order. In condensed but eloquent prose, by turns cool-eyed, tender, despairing, passionate, and wry, she reveals to us the dark corners behind the establishment’s calm facade, as certain tendencies now in existence are carried to their logical conclusions. The Handmaid’s Tale is funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing. It is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and a tour de force. It is Margaret Atwood at her best.

The Hunger Games

This Special Edition of The Hunger Games includes the most extensive interview Suzanne Collins has given since the publication of The Hunger Games; an absorbing behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the series; and an engaging archival conversation between Suzanne Collins and YA legend Walter Dean Myers on writing about war. The Special Edition answers many questions fans have had over the years, and gives great insight into the creation of this era-defining work. In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to death before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Still, if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

‘Sheer delight’ – The Times This 42nd Anniversary Edition includes exclusive bonus material from the Douglas Adams archives, and an introduction by Doctor Who showrunner, Russell T Davies. ***** An international phenomenon and pop-culture classic, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been a radio show, TV series, novel, stage play, comic book and film. Following the galactic (mis)adventures of Arthur Dent, Hitchhiker’s in its various incarnations has captured the imaginations of curious minds around the world . . . It's an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and his best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed, in large friendly letters, with the words: DON'T PANIC. The weekend has only just begun . . . Continue Arthur Dent's intergalactic adventures in the rest of the trilogy with five parts: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life, the Universe and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, and Mostly Harmless. ***** Praise for Douglas Adams: ‘One of the world’s sanest, smartest, kindest, funniest voices’ – Independent on Sunday ‘Magical . . . read this book’ – Sunday Express 'A pleasure to read' - New York Times

It Can't Happen Here

It Can't Happen Here is a semi-satirical political novel by Sinclair Lewis published in 1935. It features newspaperman Doremus Jessup struggling against the fascist regime of President Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, who resembles Gerald B. Winrod, the Kansas evangelist whose far-right views earned him the nickname "The Jayhawk Nazi." It serves as a warning that political movements akin to Nazism can come to power in countries such as the United States when people blindly support their leaders.

A Modern Utopia

This 1905 novel blends philosophical discussion with an imaginative narrative. Wells's depiction of a world united in sexual, economic, and racial equality offers a persuasive and ever-valid argument for his socialist ideals.

I, Robot

Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), conocido también como el Buen Doctor, es junto con Robert Heinlen y Arthur C. Clarke uno de los tres grandes maestros de la ciencia ficción y a lo largo de la vida fue investido doctor honoris causa por veinte universidades, además de obtener todos los premios importantes del género (Locus, Nebulas, Hugos, etc.). Tras publicar en 1939 un primer relato de ciencia ficción en Amazing Stories (“Abandonados cerca de Vesta”) y convertirse en asiduo colaborador de las revistas especializadas más importantes, ya en 1940 creó a uno de los personajes principales e hilo conductor de Yo, Robot, Susan Calvin, en “¡Embustero!”, y a partir de ese momento se convertiría en el autor que más y mejor escribió sobre robótica y sus implicaciones.
