The Fur Country, by Jules Verne. Part III.
28 juni 2023 · 2 uur 13 min
In 1859, officers of the Hudson's Bay Company travel through the Northwest Territories of Canada on a mission to found a fort at 70 degrees, north of the Arctic Circle. At some point, an earthquake occurs, and from then on, laws of physics seem altered (a total eclipse happens to be only partial; tides are not perceived anymore). Lees meer
They eventually realise that they are not where they are supposed to be. (From Wikipedia.)
Translated by N. D'Anvers (1844 - 1933).

The Lost World, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Part VII.
26 juni 2023 · 1 uur 20 min
Imagine a strange, tropical place that is almost inaccessible. Time appears to have stood still there. Species of animal and plant life not seen elsewhere on Earth, except in the fossil record, inhabit the place. The lakes heave with the shapes of huge grey bulks moving under the surface. The woods are places where chittering cries move about above your head, as powerful apes move swiftly in the canopy of leaves. Then, a tree splinters nearby, and a dinosaur steps out from his hiding place... and he's eyeing YOU. Lees meer
Jurassic Park? Not quite. The Lost World was an inspiration for Jurassic Park; in fact, a character in J.P. has the same name as one of the chief characters in The Lost World. It also inspired King Kong. But this is the original! Four adventurers go off to find the place shown in a dead man's sketch book - they find a war between apes and Indians, prowling dinosaurs, a sparkly treasure hidden in the blue clay - they find the Lost World. And because of the treachery of a native guide, their means of escape is destroyed!

The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair. Part VII.
23 juni 2023 · 2 uur 28 min
It is the end of the 19th century. Like thousands of others, the Rudkus family has emigrated from Lithuania to America in search of a better life. As they settle into the Packingtown neighborhood of Chicago, they find their dreams are unlikely to be realized. In fact, just the opposite is quite likely to occur. Jurgis, the main character of the novel, has brought his father Antanas, his fiancée Ona, her stepmother Teta Elzbieta, Teta Elzbieta's brother Jonas and her six children, and Ona's cousin Marija Berczynskas along. The family, naïve to the ways of Chicago, quickly falls prey to con men and makes a series of bad decisions that lead them into wretched poverty and terrible living conditions. All are forced to find jobs in dismal working conditions for their very survival. Jurgis, broken and discouraged, eventually finds solace in the American worker's movement of the time. Lees meer
The Jungle was written during the Gilded Age in American history when “Trusts” were formed by multiple corporations to establish monopolies that stifled competition and fixed prices. Unthinkable working conditions and unfair business practices were the norm. The Jungle’s author, Upton Sinclair, was an ardent activist at the time. Sinclair was commissioned by the “Appeal To Reason”, a major journal of the period, to write a fictional expose on the working conditions of the immigrant laborers in the meat packing industry in Chicago. Going undercover, Sinclair spent seven weeks inside the meatpacking plants gathering details for his novel.
And now, feel free to wander into The Jungle..

The Innocents Abroad, by Mark Twain. Part VIII.
16 juni 2023 · 2 uur 13 min
Published in 1869, The Innocents Abroad humorously chronicles what Twain called his "Great Pleasure Excursion" on board the chartered steamship Quaker City through Europe and the Holy Land with a group of American travelers in 1867. The five-month journey included numerous side trips on land. Lees meer
The book, which sometimes appears with the subtitle The New Pilgrim's Progress, became the best-selling of Twain's works during his lifetime, as well as one of the best-selling travel books of all time.
The excursion was billed as a Holy Land expedition, with numerous stops and side trips along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, notably:
train excursion from Marseille to Paris for the 1867 Paris Exhibition during the reign of Napoleon III and the Second French Empire
journey through the Papal States to Rome
side trip through the Black Sea to Odessa
culminating excursion through the Holy Land
Twain reports the voyage covered over 20,000 miles of land and sea.
The book is full of Twain’s cutting wit and insight as he guides us along the bumpy and often dangerous journey.
No need to buckle up. Just take it slow, and steady... like the journey itself. (From Wikipedia.)

Villette, by Charlotte Brontë. Part VIII.
12 juni 2023 · 3 uur 8 min
A quiet, self-reliant, intelligent, 23-year-old woman, Lucy has, as Miss Ginevra Fanshawe asserts, "no attractive accomplishments – no beauty." She seems to have no living relatives. Though usually reserved and emotionally self-controlled, Lucy has strong feelings and affections for those whom she really values. She even sincerely cares for the giddy Ginevra, albeit in a blunt, curmudgeonly fashion. Lees meer
She is a firm Protestant and denounces Roman Catholicism as false ("God is not with Rome"). The novel is initially set in the English countryside, and later follows Lucy Snowe to the fictional Belgian town of Villette, a Gothic town where the majority of the action takes place. Villette is modelled upon the city of Brussels and is set in the fictional kingdom of Labassecour (modelled on Belgium). "Labassecour" is the French word for farmyard. (From Wikipedia.)
