Sinossi
Prima guerra mondiale: gli Stati Uniti non solo decidono di restare neutrali, ma anche di isolarsi completamente dal resto del mondo, unendo il continente americano nella Federazione Panamericana. Nei successivi duecento anni, le Americhe continuano a prosperare, ignare di quel che è successo e succede altrove, finché, nel 2137, il tenente della marina panamericana Jefferson Turck, comandante dell'aeromarino Coldwater, un mezzo di trasporto a metà tra un aereo e un sottomarino, spinto da un guasto al veicolo, decide di oltrepassare quel confine che è vietato superare per qualsiasi panamericano, pena la morte. E così scopre l'Europa, il continente perduto.

Set in the year 2137, this might be the only narrative by this author that would nudge the genre of science ficti Leggi tutto
By 1916, Edgar Rice Burroughs was already a popular and regular contributor to the pulp periodicals of the day. Though a late starter--his first work, the John Carter story "Under the Moons of Mars," was serialized in "All-Story Magazine" in 1912, when Burroughs was 36--his output increased rapidly, Leggi tutto
The last 20% of the book was monstrously racist, almost comically so. That’s my review. The plot was very engaging and I don’t think I’ll ever forget this read. Here’s a summary, needless to say, reading past this point will reveal spoilers. The year is 2130 or so, and Europe has devolved into post w Leggi tutto
Napisan u vrijeme dok je Amerika vodila politiku izolacionizma (1915., objavljen 1916.) nasuprot Europi koja je bila već duboko zašla u Veliki rat, ovaj roman odiše upravo takvom atmosferom iako se radnja događa oko 200 godina u budućnosti. Granice svijeta po kojem se dozvoljeno kretati i gdje živi Leggi tutto
