Symzonia
Today there are people who believe that the Earth is flat -- two hundred years ago, there were those who believed the Earth to be hollow, and inhabitable, or actually inhabited, on the inside. While Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, elephants and turtle and all, is fun, “Symzonia” in 1820 was (very likely) seriously meant to promote the project of an expedition to the Earth’s interior. It also uses the tale of such an expedition to deliver social criticism, by contrasting our world with the vision of a peaceful Utopian society of the “Internals.”
Admittedly, “Symzonia” is not particularly exciting as an adventure story, and its social criticism is muted, but for the history of fantasy literature this is an important book -- it took a century for the hollow Earth to be visited again, by Edgar Rice Burroughs in his Pellucidar series. dunyazad-library.net/authors/captain-adam-seaborn.htm |

Carnaval audiobook & Ebooks
I happen to have some ACX promo codes for any of you that like audiobooks.
Mostly UK left. A few US. And can send Smashwords coupons for the ebooks. Website: www.writesideleft.com email me at admin@writesideleft.com If you're interested! Carnaval is available in epub and mobi (as well as print): it's a coming of age, part mystery, part satire, intergenerational tale about a bunch of young people in London who get in a spot of bother one night at a 'party' (we all know what that means) held for their elders, who ought to know better, but we know they don't. Narrated by ex Warhorse actor. Rather beautifully written... you can check it out on Amazon & Audible here https://www.audible.co.uk/t2/title?asin=B079P1Z8FR https://www.amazon.co.uk/Carnaval-co...176138&sr=1-1w In good faith of course! |

Jack London
I have added two books by Jack London to the Dunyazad Library.
The Iron Heel is the earliest, and the most explicitly political, of the great 20th century dystopian novels (the others, unless you come up with a different list, would be Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale). South Sea Tales is a famous collection of adventure stories – meet traders, sailors, natives, cannibals, ruthless colonist, and the occasional decent person; survive massacres, hurricanes, shipwrecks, and fire (and forgive the sometimes politically incorrect language from 100 years ago). You can have all those adventures for free, carefully edited, in plain text, PDF, epub and mobi format. http://dunyazad-library.net/authors/jack-london.htm Last edited by RobertDDL; 07-02-2018 at 05:58 AM. |

William Blake
New at the Dunyazad Library: William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. By far the shortest book in the Library, but editing it has been a challenge – I am by far not the first editor of this book who has aimed at a good compromise between readability and faithfulness to the original, but I couldn't resist the temptation to contribute to the many attempts already made. (And, to quote one of the Proverbs of Hell, “You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.”) Reading it is a challenge, too, but one that you may find worth the effort.

James Elroy Flecker, Mary Wollstonecraft, and some updates
The latest additions to the Dunyazad Library, as always carefully edited, and to be downloaded for free in PDF, ePub, Mobi and plain text formats:
The Last Generation by James Elroy Flecker, a curious short piece of early 20th century dystopia. www.dunyazad-library.net/authors/james-elroy-flecker.htm Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark by Mary Wollstonecraft — an intriguing personal travelogue by the eminent 18th century feminist. www.dunyazad-library.net/authors/mary-wollstonecraft.htm Recently I’ve noticed that I had paid too little attention to the ePub and Mobi files. They’ll never be nearly as well formatted as the PDF files, but at least I have now improved the formatting of the footnotes. If you have downloaded any ePub or Mobi versions of books with footnotes before December 18, please re-download them! (Even if, out of shame, or out of laziness, I have not changed their release numbers.) The ePub and Mobi versions of Herodotus’s “History” had a major formatting issue - most of the text, entirely unintentionally, had been in italics - I have fixed this now, please download it again! (And I wish readers would tell me when they notice errors, or things not properly done ...) |
