Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A chilling addition to the acclaimed Haunted Library of Horror Classics series, complete with annotations and extra materialsWithin a decade of the 1818 publication of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, another Englishwoman invented a foundational work of science fiction. Seventeen-year-old Jane Webb Loudon took up the theme of reanimation, moved it three hundred years into the future, and applied it to Cheops, an ancient Egyptian mummy. Unlike Shelley's horrifying, death-dealing monster, this revivified creature bears the wisdom of the ages and is eager to share his insights with humanity. Cheops boards a hot-air balloon and travels to 22nd-century England, where he sets about remedying the ills of a corrupt government.In recounting Cheops' attempts to put the futuristic society to rights, the young author offers a fascinating portrait of the preoccupations of her own era as well as some remarkably prescient predictions of technological advances. The Mummy! envisions a world in which automatons perform surgery, undersea tunnels connect England and Ireland, weather-control devices provide crop irrigation, and messages are transmitted with the speed of cannonball fire. The first novel to feature the concept of a living mummy, this pioneering tale offers an engaging mix of comedy, politics, and science fiction.Other books in the Haunted Library of Horror Classics series:The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston LerouxThe Beetle by Richard MarshVathek by William BeckfordThe House on the Borderland by William Hope HodgsonThe Parasite and Other Tales of Terror by Arthur Conan DoyleOf One Blood by Pauline HopkinsThe King in Yellow by Robert W.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The vast majority of people throughout history have left few written traces. That is especially the case for those who were brutally forced from their homes, stripped of their possessions, and swiftly imprisoned, enslaved, or murdered. Objects of Atrocity: Material Culture and the Challenges of Difficult Histories addresses how we return humanity to these people in order to avoid their erasure from history.

This collection confronts a range of difficult histories including the Holocaust; the genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, former Yugoslavia, Iraq, and Kurdistan; the incarceration of Japanese Americans; and a diverse range of crimes committed against Native Americans, African Americans, Roma, and Sinti people. The goal of this volume is to restore the dignity of these people and communities through the examination of the material culture left behind. …
