Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank Pdf

“An extraordinary real picture of human beings numbed by catastrophe but still driven by the unconquerable determination of living creatures to keep on being alive.” —The New Yorker “Alas, Babylon.” Those fateful words heralded the end. When the unthinkable nightmare of nuclear holocaust ravaged the United States, it was instant death for tens of millions of people; for survivors, it was a nightmare of hunger, sickness, and brutality. Overnight, a thousand years of civilization were stripped away. But for one small Florida town, miraculously spared against all the odds, the struggle was only just beginning, as the isolated survivors—men and women of all ages and races—found the courage to come together and confront the harrowing darkness. This classic apocalyptic novel by Pat Frank, first published in 1959 at the height of the Cold War, includes an introduction by award-winning science fiction writer and scientist David Brin.

Leopoldo Alas (Clarín) by Noël Maureen Valis Pdf

Novelist-critic Leopoldo Alas's reputation suffered neglect and silent reproval during much of the twentieth century, especially under the Franco regime, but his reputation has now achieved classic status in Spain. Clearly related to this is the great increase in the number of translations - Julian Barnes called La Regenta 'the foreign classic tardily discovered'. This bibliography picks up where the first one left off in 1984. It is divided into primary material and secondary material. Primary material includes: Anthologies and Selections; Criticism; Novels; Short Story Collections; Plays; Correspondence; Prologues; Reprints; Translations; and Miscellaneous, with two new categories: autograph manuscripts and iconography.

Alas by Hervé Bourhis Pdf

When a young girl is captured in the forest and brought to the city, only to escape shortly afterwards, all manner of individuals and organizations try to get their hands on her, no matter the cost. In a chilling and clever tour de force, the authors use the backdrop of the 1910 Great Flood of Paris to depict a world where animals rule and humans are viewed as curiosities, scientific guinea pigs, hunting trophies, and the occasional snack. A political satire that forces us to question our treatment of different species, the nature of intelligence, and more.

Alas, Iraq by Ronald Runge Pdf

A writer wanting to pen a classic tragedy could find no better subject than the centuries' old, sad tale of Iraq. The last chapters in such a story, unfortunately, would also involve America, whose very presence in Iraq has no rational bearing. Iraq, invaded in 2003, by neo-con lies, all of which have destroyed America's military, and bankrupted its economy. Yet America's people, month after month, year after year, fail to demand an accounting, and an end to this debacle in a sort of death wish. The story features an Iowa National Guardsman, Ian Otto von Bismarck, now First Sergeant of the American 7th Stryker Squadron. Bis, as he is called, is deployed with his Brigade operating out of a barracks in Badhdad's notorious Green Zone. Bis' many adventures, and daring heroic exploits, with his Stryker group forms the underlying basis of the book, and also the opportunity to find criticism, and fault with a brainless President George W. Bush, and those neo-con insiders, who lead him around by the nose. Bis' greatest concern is of the fate of his squadron, not as a result of military deployment, but by being put into an impossible trap by the Shi'ite dominated Maliki Iraqi government, plus an armed reconstituted Sunni control over Anbar Province, a formed Saddam Hussein stronghold, confounding the reasons America was lied into the war into the first place. A more, without rhyme or reason, rationale for our being in this senseless war could not be made up in the wildest imagination, of any story writer. It proves Menken's quote: "Many Americans love those who lie to them, while condemning those who tell them the truth.."

The Alas League by Christian-Eric Falardeau Pdf

The Alas League is an entertaining humorous series made up of episodes ranging from 80 to 140 pages each. Brief “interlude” short stories are inserted between instalments, adding increasingly funny new angles to the new Worlds they live in. Episode 1: Purgatory In the small village of Verminus lives Mayor Monica Boisse, her son Peter, Father Ferdinand Paradise, the owner of the only bar Sylvia Thomac, the garbage man Mario Sax, the police officer Mable Hudgeon and the computer scientist Sophia Ware. With them are the rich Reginald Verrywiz, his secretary Alice, an old couple Alberic and Adelaide with their grand-daughter Julia and the trade unionist Andrew Bank. We must not forget Gerard Piston the civil engineer, and Vincent Lens the astronomer! And is Mimi van Dame truly a dressmaker or is she a retired world champion mud-wrestler? In fact, there are (or rather, were) many more inhabitants in the small village, but the coming of a great cataclysm drove them to take refuge on the mountain. Now, are those left behind going to be the first happy victims or are they condemned to survive? And in that last eventuality, will it be that terrible or is the movie “The Day After” exaggerating? And what about this mysterious and courteous “Alas League”? Episode 2: The Dragons of Verminus Our villagers, having barely begun to familiarize themselves with their new environment, meet with Sully Citor, a mediocre merchant with a certain flair for golden opportunities. Meanwhile, late-payment notices cross paths with subscription cancellation threats. Only one thing can explain the situation, but they don’t discover it until the end!
