The Invasion of 1910 by William Le Queux Pdf

The Invasion of 1910 is a 1906 novel written mainly by William Le Queux. It is one of the more famous examples of Invasion literature. It is viewed by some as an example of pre-World War I Germanophobia. It can also be viewed as prescient, as it preached the need to prepare for war with Germany. The novel was originally commissioned by Alfred Harmsworth as a serial which appeared in the Daily Mail from 19 March 1906. The story rewritten to feature towns and villages with high Daily Mail readership, greatly increased the newspaper's circulation and made a small fortune for Le Queux; it was translated into twenty-seven languages, and over one million copies of the book edition were sold. The idea for the novel is alleged to have originated from Field Marshal Earl Roberts, who regularly lectured English schoolboys on the need to prepare for war. The book takes the form of a military history.

The Invasion of 1910 by William Le Queux Pdf

The Invasion of 1910 (1906) is a novel by Anglo-French writer William Le Queux. Published at the height of Le Queux’s career as a leading author of popular thrillers, The Invasion of 1910 is a story of espionage, resistance, and international conflict. Using his own research and experience as a journalist and adventurer, Le Queux crafts an accessible, entertaining world for readers in search of a literary escape. Known for his works of fiction and nonfiction on the possibility of Germany invading Britain—a paranoia common in the early twentieth century—William Le Queux also wrote dozens of thrillers and adventure novels for a dedicated public audience. Although critical acclaim eluded him, popular success made him one of England’s bestselling writers. In The Invasion of 1910, a large German occupying force lands undetected on the coast of England. After quickly defeating a hastily assembled British defense in a battle at Royston, German forces turn toward London, eventually gaining control of half of the city. Woefully unprepared, terribly overwhelmed, a small group of English politicians gathers to form a resistance force capable of conducting guerrilla style attacks on the well trained, heavily armed Germans. As the light of hope returns to a beleaguered nation, a new British Army gathers strength in order to cast the invaders out for good. Originally published in the Daily Mail, Le Queux’s novel was both popular and controversial for its use of newspapermen dressed in German military uniforms to drum up sales. Despite being rejected as alarmist in its time, The Invasion of 1910 would prove prescient less than a decade after its publication with the outbreak of the First World War. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of William Le Queux’s The Invasion of 1910 is a classic novel reimagined for modern readers.

The unparalleled invasion / Une invasion sans précédent / La invasión sin paralelo. Première édition trilingue / First trilingual edition (English, French, Spanish) by Jack London Pdf

The Unparalleled Invasion is a rare political anticipation short story written by Jack London and first published in McClure's in July 1910 and later in the book The Strength of the Strong (New York, Macmillan, 1914). The story begins in 1910s China. Under the influence of Japan, China modernizes and has its own Meiji Reforms. In 1922, China breaks away from Japan and fights a brief war that culminates in the Chinese annexation of the Japanese possessions of Korea, Formosa, and Manchuria. Over the next half century, China's population steadily grows, and eventually migration overwhelms European colonies in Asia. The United States of America and the other Western powers launch a biological warfare campaign against China, resulting in the decimation of China's population. China is then colonized by the Western powers.
