As a satire, Flatland offered pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions; in a foreword to one of the many publications of the novella, noted science writer Isaac Asimov described Flatland as "The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions." As such, the novella is still popular amongst mathematics, physics and computer science students.

It was published in 1921. In the book, Huxley satirises the fads and fashions of the time. It is the witty story of a house party at "Crome" (a lightly veiled reference to Garsington Manor, a house where authors such as Huxley and T. S. Eliot used to gather and write). We hear the history of the house from Henry Wimbush, its owner and self-appointed historian; apocalypse is prophesied, virginity is lost, and inspirational aphorisms are gained in a trance. Our hero, Denis Stone, tries to capture it all in poetry and is disappointed in love.

Seventy-seven of the essays were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788. A compilation of these and eight others, called The Federalist, was published in 1788 by J. and A. McLean. The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source for interpretation of the Constitution, as they outline the philosophy and motivation of the proposed system of government. The authors of the Federalist Papers wanted to both influence the vote in favor of ratification and shape future interpretations of the Constitution. According to historian Richard B. Morris, they are an "incomparable exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed in both breadth and depth by the product of any later American writer." http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2674.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2674.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2674.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2674.mobi The Dream Mary Shelley http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1350 en 1832 Short Fiction http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1350.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1350.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1350.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1350.mobi The Invisible Girl Mary Shelley http://www.feedbooks.com/book/90 urn:isbn:1406574880 en 1820 Short Fiction http://www.feedbooks.com/book/90.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/90.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/90.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/90.mobi The Mortal Immortal Mary Shelley http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1348 urn:isbn:1892391015 en 1910 Short Fiction http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1348.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1348.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1348.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1348.mobi The Last Man Mary Shelley http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1347 urn:isbn:0192838652 en 1826 Novels Science Fiction A futuristic story of tragic love and of the gradual extermination of the human race by plague, The Last Man is Mary Shelley's most important novel after Frankenstein.

The novel consists of two novellas, “Adventure on Poloda” and "Tangor Returns," written quickly in late 1940. The first was published in "The Blue Book Magazine" in 1942, but the second did not see publication until 1964 when it was featured in Tales of Three Planets along with "The Resurrection of Jimber-Jaw" and The Wizard of Venus. Burroughs likely intended Beyond the Farthest Star to be the opening of a new series comparable to the Barsoom or Pellucidar sequences, but declining health and Burroughs's World War II service as a war correspondent prevented this from happening.
