"Take one inventive genius indebted to the friend who saved his life; add an English aristocrat hopelessly consumed with a selfish and spiritually bankrupt woman; stir together with a Faustian pact to create the perfect woman--and voilà! Tomorrow's Eve is served. Robert Martin Adams's graceful translation is the first to bring to English readers this captivating fable of a Thomas Edison-like inventor and his creation, the radiant and tragic android Hadaly. Adams's introduction sketches the uncompromising idealism of the proud but penurious aristocrat Jean Marie Mathias Philippe Auguste, Count Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, a friend and admired colleague of Charles Baudelaire, Stèphane Mallarmé, and Richard Wagner. Villiers dazzles us with a gallery of electronic wonders while unsettling us with the implications of his (and our) increasingly mechanized and mechanical society. A witty and acerbic tale in which human nature, spiritual values, and scientific possibilities collide, Tomorrow's Eve retains an enduring freshness and edge." --Descripción del editor.

Imagination and visualization is the birth place of dreams and innovations of things yet to be. The desire of PND Works and Imagine That is to speak to children in the manner of child-like understanding of moral standing through periods of personal growth. Entertainment abounds with flashing lights, loud music and videos over shadowing self of imagination while young minds are simply entertained in the name of entertainment. Through the media of the actual reading of carefully chosen written words, and artwork of characters who defy racial or ethnic definition, our goal at PND Works and Imagine That is to stir self to imagination and vision. To do this we invite young minds into a world of simple stories of historical interest in a context of moral choices. Without fertile ground to nurture good healthy growth to guide young minds the value of dreams and innovations will be lost.

I am a living-proof of the battlefield of life. I am a living-proof that life in itself is a battlefield. A battle that begins right from the moment of our conception in the womb. Right from the womb, I already suffered five defeats in the battlefield of my life. By the time I was born on the 25th of June 1970, I was born defeated with blurred speech, blurred eyes, blurred ears, blurred hands and deformed feet. These five womb operations were perfected in such a way that I looked completely normal to those living by sight. By doing this, the devil was perfecting his main goal of deceiving mankind to believe he does not exist while still achieving his three cardinal goals of stealing, killing and destroying. He knew if I was completely dumb, blind, deaf, cripple or lame, my parents would have gone into spiritual consultations and would have discovered his handiwork. Even though they might not have been able to reverse it, he feared that might have led them into believing in the existence of Satan and hence their salvation in Christ. Most of us are like my parents, we first need to see Satan before we can see Christ. We only try Jesus when every other thing has failed us. When our problems have defied all solutions, that is when we seek the face of Christ. Satan now knows this. And he has now found a remedy to this problem. Guess what his remedy is? Satanic womb operation of course! In my own case, he made sure I was born absolutely normal in every way but hid all his womb operation on the inside of me. It was only I and I satanic womb operation experience, while my ignorant parents continue to celebrate the birth of their first-born son. This book is about all my defeats in the battlefield of life and how I eventually traded these defeats for victories by adopting Gods own winning strategies. You also need these strategies to win and you will get them all in this book. It is a 12-volume series designed and written to give you all the winning strategies in the battlefield of life.

Hailed by critics and scholars as the most valuable study of Faulkner's fiction, Cleanth Brooks's William Faulkner: The Yoknapatawpha Country explores the Mississippi writer's fictional county and the commanding role it played in so much of his work. Brooks shows that Faulkner's strong attachment to his region, with its rich particularity and deep sense of community, gave him a special vantage point from which to view the modern world.Books's consideration of such novels as Light in August, The Unvanquished, As I Lay Dying, and Intruder in the Dust shows the ways in which Faulkner used Yoknapatawpha County to examine the characteristic themes of the twentieth century. Contending that a complete understanding of Faulkner's writing cannot be had without a thorough grasp of fictional detail, Brooks gives careful attention to "what happens: In the Yoknapatawpha novels. He also includes useful genealogies of Faulkner's fictional clans and a character index.
