| marvelous underground journey free: Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger Ingersoll Lockwood, 2020-05-04 I come from one of the most ancient and honorable families of North Germany-famous for its valor and love of adventure. One of my ancestors, when just entering the twenties heard at his father's table one morning, that England's great King Coeur de Lion was about to lead an army against the infidels. Gracious parent, cried the young man starting up from his seat, his eyes on fire, his cheeks ablaze, May I join the Crusaders and aid in the destruction of the enemies of our holy religion? Alas, poor boy! replied his father, casting a pitying glance at the youth, who, through some strange freak of nature had been born armless, thou wert not intended for terrible conflicts such as await our cousin Coeur de Lion. Thou lackest every means of wielding the battle sword, of couching the lance. 'Twould be murder to set thy defenceless body before the uplifted cimeter of the merciless Moslem! My dear son, banish such thoughts from thy mind and turn thee to poesy and philosophy, thou shalt add new lustre to our family name by thy learning. Nay gracious parent, hear me! urged the youth with eloquent eye: true, nature has denied me arms, but she has not been so cruel as might be supposed for, as compensation, she has given a giant's strength to my lower limbs. Dost not remember how last month, I slew a wild boar with one blow from the heel of my hunting-boot? I do, answered the grim old Baron with a smile, but- Pardon my interruption noble father came from the young man, I shall go into battle doubly armed, for to each stirrup shall I affix a sword and woe betide the Mussulman who dares meet me on the battle-field. |

| marvelous underground journey free: Down and Out in Paris and London George Orwell, 2024-04-26 Through George Orwell's firsthand accounts, readers are exposed to the harsh realities of life as a member of the destitute underclass. Orwell works various menial jobs, as dishwasher and plongeur in Parisian restaurants, and encounters a cast of characters from all walks of life. These include fellow down-and-outs, as well as the exploitative and indifferent employers and landlords who profit from their desperation. Down and Out in Paris and London sheds light on the daily challenges faced by those living in poverty, from the constant struggle to secure food and shelter to the lack of dignity and respect afforded to the working poor. Orwell's experiences also serve as a critique of societal structures and attitudes that perpetuate poverty and inequality, offering insight into the systemic failures that marginalize and oppress the most vulnerable members of society. GEORGE ORWELL was born in India in 1903 and passed away in London in 1950. As a journalist, critic, and author, he was a sharp commentator on his era and its political conditions and consequences. |

| marvelous underground journey free: The Baron Trump Novels, and The Last President Ingersoll Lockwood, 2021-01-01 The Baron Trump novels, and The Last President, are three novels by Ingersoll Lockwood, an American lawyer and writer. The three novels are, Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger (1889), Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey (1893), and, 1900 or, The Last President (1896). The first two were written at a time when other books like Alice in Wonderland were filling a desire for fantasy children's books - but unfortunately for Lockwood, his own books would never become as popular. Until they were rediscovered in 2017, when Internet users pointed out the similarities between the character Baron Trump, and the then President. Among other things, the real life Trump's son is called Barron, Baron Trump (of the book) is prone to getting in trouble, often mentions how huge his brain his, has a personalised insult for people he meets, and lives in Castle Trump (Trump Tower). The Last President, the final novel in this edition, is more of a dystopian novel rather than a children's novel, that tells how the downfall of the American republic is brought about by the election of a populist president. |
| marvelous underground journey free: A Room of One's Own Virginia Woolf, 2022-11-13 In 'A Room of One's Own,' Virginia Woolf constructs a sharply detailed and profoundly influential critique of the patriarchal limitations imposed on female writers and intellectuals. First published in 1929, this extended essay transcends its original lecture format, utilizing a fictional veil to delve into the intersection of women with literary creation and representation. Woolf's prose is fluid and exacting, a rally for recognition orchestrated in the cadence of narrative fiction, yet grounded in the stark realities of the feminist struggle for intellectual autonomy and recognition. This resourceful mingling of fact and fiction situates Woolf among the vanguard of feminist literary critique, providing context and commentary to the historical suppression of women's voices within the established literary canon. Virginia Woolf, with her exceptional literary prowess, embarks on this essay from a position of lived experience and recognition of the broader socio-historical currents of her time. Her own encounters with gender-based barriers and the psychological insights she developed in her broader oeuvre fuel the essay's core argument. The provenance of her writing in 'A Room of One's Own'—stemming from the dynamics of her personal journey and societal observations—elucidates the necessity of financial independence and intellectual freedom for the creative output of female authors. Woolf's narrative competence and critical acumen position her not only as a luminary of modernist literature but also as a vital provocateur in the discourse of gender equality. 'A Room of One's Own' remains a fundamental recommendation for readers seeking not only to understand the historical plight and literary silencing of women but also to appreciate the enduring relevance of Woolf's argument. Scholars, feminists, and bibliophiles alike will find in Woolf's essay an enduring testament to the necessity of giving voice to the voiceless and space to the confined. It is a rallying cry for the creation of a literary world that acknowledges and celebrates the contributions of all of its constituents, one where the measure of talent is not distorted by the filter of gender bias. |

| marvelous underground journey free: The Smoky God; Or, A Voyage to the Inner World Willis George Emerson, 2022-08-10 'The Smoky God, or A Voyage Journey to the Inner Earth' is a book presented as a true account written by Willis George Emerson in 1908, which describes the adventures of Olaf Jansen, a Norwegian sailor who sailed with his father through an entrance to the Earth's interior at the North Pole.

| marvelous underground journey free: The Shape of Things To Come H. G. Wells, 2022-11-13 In 'The Shape of Things to Come,' H.G. Wells embarks on an ambitious speculative journey, chronicling the cataclysmic events and societal metamorphoses leading to the establishment of a utopian world state from 1933 to 2106. Through the literary device of a framing narrative, Wells presents the work as an edited transcript of Dr. Philip Raven's dream-inspired recollections, effectively blending elements of prophetic fiction with historical retrospection. The book stands as an archetype of early science fiction, its rich narrative interwoven with Wells's visionary foresight and the interplay between fact and fiction, serving as both literature and an inadvertent historical record of imagined futures. In confronting the complexities of his era, Wells, a futurist and sociopolitical commentator, encases his anxieties and aspirations for mankind's destiny within the pages of this profound literary work. Influenced by the interwar period's turmoil and technological advancements, Wells extrapolates a chronicle of world events that serves as both a cautionary tale and a hopeful gaze into a potential world order. His stature as a versatile author, historian, and thinker enabled him to craft a narrative that is as intellectually challenging as it is fantastical. 'The Shape of Things to Come' is recommended for readers intrigued by the intersection of history, philosophy, and speculative fiction. Wells's eloquent dissection of societal evolution and his prescient imagining of a united humanity resonate today. Scholars and enthusiasts of early science fiction will find in Wells's novel a cornerstone of the genre, as well as a lasting contribution to the contemplation of our collective future and the universal human experience. |

| marvelous underground journey free: Crime and Punishment Fyodor Dostoevsky, 2025-02-17 “Crime and Punishment” by Fyodor Dostoevsky plunges into the mind of Rodion Raskolnikov, a destitute former student in the teeming, oppressive streets of St. Petersburg. The novel opens with a vivid description of Raskolnikov's impoverished existence, his room a mere “cupboard or box,” and the squalor he endures. Haunted by a desperate idea, he commits a brutal act: the murder of an elderly pawnbroker and her innocent sister, Lizaveta, with an axe. This act is not born of malice, but from a twisted theory that posits the existence of “extraordinary” individuals who are above the law and capable of shaping history. Raskolnikov sees himself as such a man, and the murder as a test of his own will and fortitude. |

| marvelous underground journey free: It's Complicated Danah Boyd, 2014-02-25 A youth and technology expert offers original research on teens’ use of social media, the myths frightening adults, and how young people form communities. What is new about how teenagers communicate through services like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? Do social media affect the quality of teens’ lives? In this book, youth culture and technology expert Danah Boyd uncovers some of the major myths regarding teens’ use of social media. She explores tropes about identity, privacy, safety, danger, and bullying. Ultimately, Boyd argues that society fails young people when paternalism and protectionism hinder teenagers’ ability to become informed, thoughtful, and engaged citizens through their online interactions. Yet despite an environment of rampant fear-mongering, Boyd finds that teens often find ways to engage and to develop a sense of identity. Boyd’s conclusions are essential reading not only for parents, teachers, and others who work with teens, but also for anyone interested in the impact of emerging technologies on society, culture, and commerce. Offering insights gleaned from more than a decade of original fieldwork interviewing teenagers across the United States, Boyd concludes reassuringly that the kids are all right. At the same time, she acknowledges that coming to terms with life in a networked era is not easy or obvious. In a technologically mediated world, life is bound to be complicated. “Boyd’s new book is layered and smart . . . It’s Complicated will update your mind.” —Alissa Quart, New York Times Book Review “A fascinating, well-researched and (mostly) reassuring look at how today's tech-savvy teenagers are using social media.” —People “The briefest possible summary? The kids are all right, but society isn’t.” —Andrew Leonard, Salon |

| marvelous underground journey free: The Movement of the Free Spirit Raoul Vaneigem, 1998 This book by the legendary Situationist activist and author of The Revolution of Everyday Life examines the heretical and millenarian movements that challenged social and ecclesiastical authority in Europe from the 1200s into the 1500s. Although Vaneigem discusses a number of different movements such as the Cathars and Joachimite millenarians, his main emphasis is on the various manifestations of the Movement of the Free Spirit in northern Europe. He sees not only resistance to the power of state and church but also the immensely creative invention of new forms of love, sexuality, community, and exchange. Vaneigem is particularly interested in the radical opposition presented by these movements to the imperatives of an emerging market-based economy, and he evokes crucial historical parallels with the antisystemic rebellions of the 1960s. The book includes translations of original texts and source materials. |

| marvelous underground journey free: BARON TRUMP's Marvellous Underground Journey By: Ingersoll a Historical Novel Annotated ingersoll lockwood, 2021-07-13 The Baron Trump novels are two children's novels written in 1889 and 1893 by the American author and lawyer Ingersoll Lockwood. They remained obscure until 2017, when they received media attention for perceived similarities between their protagonist and U.S. President Donald Trump. Lockwood published the first novel, Travels and adventures of Little Baron Trump and his wonderful dog Bulger, in 1889, and its sequel, Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey, in 1893. The novels recount the adventures of the German boy Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastian Von Troomp, who goes by Baron Trump, as he discovers weird underground civilizations, offends the natives, flees from his entanglements with local women, and repeats this pattern until arriving back home at Castle Trump. The novels were part of a trend in U.S. children's literature that responded to the demand for fantastic adventure stories triggered by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). They were, however, indifferently received and did not enter the canon of children's literature.[1] An 1891 reviewer wrote about one of Lockwood's novels: The author labors through three hundred pages of fantastic and grotesque narrative, now and then striking a spark of wit; but the sparks emit little light and no warmth, and one has to fumble for the story. |
