"Der Mann in der vordersten Droschke saß zusammengekauert in einer Ecke; die Arme hatte er eng übereinandergepreßt; die kleine Tube, die so ungeheure Vernichtungsmöglichkeiten enthielt, krampfhaft in die Hand geklammert. Ihm war ganz eigentümlich angstvoll und frohlockend zumute. In der Hauptsache hatte er Furcht, man könnte ihn einholen, eh' er seine Absicht ausgeführt hatte; dahinter aber lauerte ein unbewußtes, aber weit größeres Entsetzen vor der Grauenhaftigkeit seines Verbrechens."

"Kurzum, ich schuf, was hier vorliegt. Dies alles muß ich dem Leser eingehend sagen, damit er wohl wisse, daß dieses Buch das Ergebnis von Überlegungen und Prüfungen und genau so ist, wie ich es haben wollte, wie sonderbar es auch beim ersten Lesen erscheinen mag. Ich habe durchweg eine Art halbseidenen Gewebes aus philosophischer Unterredung und dichterischer Erzählung im Auge." H. G. Wells. Jenseits des Sirius. Ein utopistischer Roman.

"The art of ignoring is one of the accomplishments of every well-bred girl, so carefully instilled that at last she can even ignore her own thoughts and her own knowledge." One Wednesday afternoon in late September, Ann Veronica Stanley came down from London in a state of solemn excitement and quite resolved to have things out with her father that very evening. She had trembled on the verge of such a resolution before, but this time quite definitely she made it. A crisis had been reached, and she was almost glad it had been reached. She made up her mind in the train home that it should be a decisive crisis. It is for that reason that this novel begins with her there and neither earlier nor later, for it is the history of this crisis and its consequences that this novel has to tell.

""War and the Future"" is a non-fiction book written by H.G. Wells, published in 1917. The book discusses the impact of World War I on society, and the potential consequences of future wars. Wells examines the political and social changes that have occurred as a result of the war, and predicts how these changes will shape the future of humanity. He discusses the role of technology in warfare, and how advances in science and technology will continue to shape the way wars are fought. Wells also explores the idea of a global government, and how such a government could prevent future wars. He argues that it is the responsibility of humanity to work towards a peaceful future, and that war is ultimately destructive to all involved. Overall, ""War and the Future"" is a thought-provoking analysis of the impact of war on society, and a call to action for humanity to work towards a more peaceful future.The mountain warfare of Italy is extraordinarily unlike that upon any other front. From the Isonzo to the Swiss frontier we are dealing with high mountains, cut by deep valleys between which there is usually no practicable lateral communication. Each advance must have the nature of an unsupported shove along a narrow channel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
