Science Fiction ebooks

Enormously popular French author, the founding father of science fiction with H.G. Wells. Verne's stories, written for adolescents as well as adults, caught the enterprising spirit of the 19th century, its uncritical fascination about scientific progress and inventions. His works were often written in the form of a travel ebook, which took the readers on a voyage to the moon in From the Earth to the Moon (1865) or to another direction as in A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864). Many of Verne's ideas have been hailed as prophetic. Among his best-known ebooks is the classic adventure story Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).

"Ah - what a journey - what a marvelous and extraordinary journey! Here we had entered the earth by one volcano, and we had come out by another. And this other was situated more than twelve hundred leagues from Sneffels, from that drear country of Iceland cast away on the confines of the earth... We had abandoned the region of eternal snows for that infinite verdure, and had left over our heads the gray fog of the icy regions to come back to the azure sky of Sicily!" (from A Journey to the Center of the Earth, 1864)
Jules Verne was born and raised in the port of Nantes. His father was a prosperous lawyer. To continue the practice, Verne moved to Paris, where he studied law. His uncle introduced him into literary circles and he started to published plays under the influence of such writers as Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas

The Time Traveller (for so it will be convenient to speak of him) was expounding a recondite matter to us. His grey eyes shone and twinkled, and his usually pale face was flushed and animated. The fire burned brightly, and the soft radiance of the incandescent lights in the lilies of silver caught the bubbles that flashed and passed in our glasses. Our chairs, being his patents, embraced and caressed us rather than submitted to be sat upon, and there was that luxurious after-dinner atmosphere when thought roams gracefully free of the trammels of precision. And he put it to us in this way--marking the points with a lean forefinger--as we sat and lazily admired his earnestness over this new paradox (as we thought it:) and his fecundity.
`You must follow me carefully. I shall have to controvert one or two ideas that are almost universally accepted. The geometry, for instance, they taught you at school is founded on a misconception.'
`Is not that rather a large thing to expect us to begin upon?' said Filby, an argumentative person with red hair.
`I do not mean to ask you to accept anything without reasonable ground for it. You will soon admit as much as I need from you.
You know of course that a mathematical line, a line of thickness NIL, has no real existence. They taught you that? Neither has a mathematical plane. These things are mere abstractions.'
`That is all right,' said the Psychologist.

~ Chapter One ~

I CAME to woozily, staring into the puss of one of those white-sweater-tied-around-the-shoulders kind of guys. Fiftyish. Stingy smile. Silver-feathered mane. Mirror-slave blue eyes.

Winston Hamilton. One of the world's richest men.

The two goons who'd drugged me were slouched against the wall, one on either side of me. The tallest stroked a shiner under his left eye - a little memento I'd gifted him during our recent 'get acquainted' encounter. The other picked his nose like it was some sort of performance art.

I could see Hamilton clearly now. I coughed, and he grinned, leaning towards me from the throne of a big black leather chair that loomed up from behind his desk. A pink mole about the size of a raisin dangled from his jaw. He pulled on it. It was the same nervous tic I'd noticed on a recent TV interview he'd done "60 Minutes."

"Ah, Mr. Pierce," Hamilton said. "How nice of you to join us."

The goons stiffened, both looking at me like they wished they'd used a real gun to take me down

These seven movies deal with moral and ethical dilemmas. "The Matrix" - with the nature of reality, "Titanic" - tackles the moral obligation versus self-preservation and "The Truman Show" - tackles the relationship between God and us, humans. "The Talented Mr. Ripley" deals with the thin line between pathological narcissism and self-promotion, ambition and envy, love and obsession. "Being John Malkovich" deals with this question (among others): are we the owners of our brains? "Shattered" deals with the meaning of self identity nd personal responsibility. "Dreamcatcher" studies the myth of destructibility.
