3 journeys to the center 1-46 journey to the Center of

of the earth the Earth follows a first-
person narrative. In
Hamburg, a well-known
German mineralogist,
professor otto Liden
Brock, lives together
with his orphaned
nephew, Axel, and his
goddaughter Grauben ,.
Axel and Grauben are in
love and secretly
engaged. One day, Otto
discovers a note written
in code by a famous
Icelandic alchemist,
Arne Saknussemm. With
the help of his nephew,
Otto discovers that the
note, written in Latin in
reverse, gives
instructions on how to
reach the center of the
Earth via a crater in
Iceland: At the end of
June, the shadow of the
Scartaris peak will fall
onto the entrance.
Without delay, the two
men embark on a
journey to Iceland, via
Copenhagen.

Otto and Axel sail to

Reykjavik and there hire
a local guide, Hans, to
take them to the Snafell
mountain, where the
crater is supposed to
be. The small group
traverses Iceland,
observing its landscape
and people. After more
than a week on the
road, they ascend the
southern peak of
Snafell, called Scartaris
by the locals, and
descend into its crater.
There they find three
chimneys and, after
waiting for several days
because of overcast
skies, they are finally
able to observe that the
peak’s shadow marks
the middle chimney as
the entrance described
by Saknussemm.

The three men use a

rope to climb down the
chimney. At the bottom,
a tunnel opens, leading
southeast. After several
days, the group reaches
a fork in the road. Otto
decides to turn left, and
the three men continue
their journey. However,
the tunnel is horizontal,
and they eventually
reach a dead end. It
becomes clear they
need to return to the
fork, but they are
running out of water
and suffer on the way
back. After barely
making it back to the
crossroad, Axel wants to
go back to the surface.
Otto, however, is
determined to explore
the other tunnel and is
convinced that they will
soon find water. Axel
does not want to
abandon his uncle, so
the three men continue
forward. After an hour,
Axel is exhausted and
delirious from thirst,
and they are forced to
stop. Hans eventually
continues alone in
search of water and
soon discovers a place
in the tunnel where it is
possible to hear a river.
Hans uses a pickaxe to
pierce the wall where
the sound is the
strongest, and soon
there is a stream of
boiling liquid flowing
into the tunnel. The
three men must wait for
some time for the water
to cool down but are
finally able to quench
their thirst. The little
stream continues
flowing down the
tunnel and serves as a
water source for the
group.

Otto, Axel, and Hans

continue their slow
descent. At one point,
Axel somehow takes a
wrong turn unnoticed
and finds himself
completely alone. He
also stumbles, injuring
himself and damaging
his lantern, which turns
off, leaving him in
complete darkness and
silence. After some time
wondering in the dark,
Axel hears his uncle’s
voice, carried a long
way through the tunnel.
They determine they
are in parallel shafts
and that Axel should go
down so that he will
eventually reach a
chamber where
multiple tunnels open.
He does that but causes
a rockslide and falls,
hitting his head. He
loses consciousness but
is rescued by his uncle,
who is waiting at the
bottom.

After regaining
consciousness, Axel
discovers that they have
reached a vast open
space that contains a
subterranean sea. Otto
decides that they must
cross the open water to
reach the other shore,
where he anticipates
they will continue their
descent into the center
of the Earth. Hans
constructs a raft from
semi-fossilized wood,
and they set sail. While
traversing the sea, they
encounter huge
prehistoric monsters
who battle each other,
as well as a volcanic
island with a geyser
next to it. Eventually,
they sail into a storm
and are tossed around
for several days. The
raft reaches land, but to
Otto’s despair, they
have arrived on the
same shore from which
they embarked. While
waiting for Hans to
repair the raft to try
traversing the water a
second time, the
professor and Axel go
on a walk. They come
across human remains,
theorizing that these
must be people who
lived in pre-historic
times. Further along the
shore, they come across
a forest where they
observe a herd of
mastodons. Axel is
convinced he sees a 12-
foot-tall human among
the trees, but after he
and his uncle run away
in fear, he begins
doubting his own eyes.
On the way back, they
discover Saknussemm’s
initials and discover an
opening in the rock
face. However, the
passage is blocked by a
wall. The group decides
to use gunpowder to
blast away the obstacle.
They board the raft and
set fire to powder. Even
though they do not hear
an explosion, they
observe a shift in the
rock face and realize
that they have created a
chasm and that the sea
is flowing through the
new opening. Their raft
is swept along, and they
keep falling for a long
time, until eventually
they stop, and Otto
realizes that they are
being swept upward on
top of a waterspout.
They realize they are at
the forefront of a
volcanic eruption,
carried upward by a
side shaft by water,
which soon becomes a
white boiling mass. In
this way, they are swept
up and out of the
ground. The three men
find themselves on the
 Italian island of
Stromboli. From there,
they make their way in
several stages to
Hamburg. Hans
continues to Iceland as
he feels homesick. Back
home, Otto becomes
famous, while Axel is
finally able to marry his
sweetheart, Grauben.

4 dogs of wars Man’s best friend did not

rest while he fought across
the lines of battle during
wartime. Focusing on three
major wars—World War I,
World War II, and Vietnam
—Keenan uses the graphic
medium to show how dogs
aided soldiers both
physically and mentally.
The opening piece,
“Boots,” portrays a border
collie in the trenches of
Ypres in 1914 who can
help sniff out wounded
soldiers. When Boots and
her young British handler
find themselves facing the
enemy on December 25,
they take part in the famed
Christmas truce. In “Loki,”
the most thrilling offering, a
strong-willed sled dog
helps an American soldier
serving in Greenland
during World War II
navigate perilous weather
and impending enemy
advancement. In the
moving “Sheba,” an
African American soldier
 develops a strong bond
with his scout dog during
the Vietnam War—only to
have her treated like a
piece of equipment and
wrenched from his life. The
bonds between these men
and their dogs are
palpable; the visual
component of this work
adds a layer of pathos that
shows just how strong the
connection between man
and dog can be. Keenan
adroitly captures this work
with her parting words,
“Semper Fido!;” a truer
tenet was never spoken.

and historical fiction.
5 Communist 1-23 "The Communist
Manifesto Manifesto," written
by Karl mark and
Friedrich Engels in
1848, is one of the
most widely taught
texts in sociology.
The Communist
League in London
commissioned the
work, which was
originally published
in German. At the
time, it served as a
political rallying cry
for the communist
movement in Europe.
Today, it offers a
shrewd and
early critique of and
capitalism its social
and cultural
implications.

For sociology
students, the text is a
useful primer on
Marx's critique of
capitalism, but it can
be a challenging read
for those outside this
field of study. A
summary that breaks
down its main points
can make the
manifesto easier to
digest for readers
just getting
acquainted with
sociology. The
Communist
Manifesto" stems
from the joint
development of ideas
between Marx and
Engels, but Marx
alone wrote the final
draft. The text
became a significant
political influence on
the German public
and led to Marx
being expelled from
the country. This
prompted his
permanent move to
London and the
pamphlet's 1850
publication in English
for the first time.

Despite its
controversial
reception in Germany
and its pivotal role in
Marx's life, the text
did not receive a
great deal of
attention until the
1870s. Then, Marx
took a prominent role
in the International
Workingmen's
Association and
publicly supported
the 1871 Paris
commune and
socialist movement.
The text also grew in
popularity because of
its role in a treason
trial held against
German Social
Democratic Party
leaders. After it
became more widely
known, Marx and
Engels revised and
republished the book
into the version
familiar with readers
today. The manifesto
has been widely read
around the world
since the late 19th
century and remains
the foundation for
critiques of
capitalism. It has
inspired calls for
social, economic, and
political systems
organized by equality
and
democracy rather
than exploitation.
Marx and Engels
begin the manifesto
by pointing out that
the European
powers-that-be have
identified
communism as a
threat. These leaders
believe that
communism could
change the power
structure and the
economic system
known as capitalism.
Given its potential,
according to Marx
and Engels, the
communist
movement requires a
manifesto, and that is
what the text in
question intends to
be. In the first part of
the manifesto, Marx
and Engels explain
the evolution of
capitalism and the
exploitative class
structure that
resulted from it.
While political
revolutions
overturned the
unequal hierarchies
of feudalism, in their
place sprung a new
class system
composed primarily
of a bourgeoisie
(owners of the means
of production) and
proletariat (wage
workers). Marx and
Engels explain: The
bourgeoisie achieved
state power by
creating and
controlling the post-
feudal political
system.
Consequently, Marx
and Engels explain,
the state reflects the
world views and
interests of the
wealthy and powerful
minority and not
those of the
proletariat, who
make up most of the
society.

Next, Marx and

Engels discuss the
cruel, exploitative
reality of what
happens when
workers are forced to
compete and sell
their labor to the
owners of capital.
When this occurs, the
social ties that used
to bind people
together are stripped
away. Workers
become expendable
and replaceable; a
concept known as a
"cash nexus"As the
capitalist system
grows, expands, and
evolves, its methods
and relations of
production and
ownership are
increasingly
centralized within it.
The global scale of
today's capitalist
economy and the
extreme
concentration of
wealth among
the global elite show
us that the 19th-
century observations
of Marx and Engels
were accurate.

While capitalism is a
widespread economic
system, Marx and
Engels argue that it
is designed for
failure. That is
because as
ownership and
wealth concentrate,
the exploitative
conditions of wage
laborers worsen over
time, sowing the
seeds of revolt. The
authors assert that,
in fact, that revolt is
already fomenting;
the rise of the
Communist Party
signals this. Marx
and Engels end this
section with this
conclusion: Often
quoted, this section
of the text is
considered the
manifesto's main
body. It is also taught
as an abridged
version to students.
The other parts of the
text are less well-
known. In this
section, Marx and
Engels explain what
the Communist Party
wants for society.
They begin by
pointing out that the
organization stands
out because it does
not represent a
particular faction of
workers. Rather, it
represents the
interests of workers
(the proletariat) as a
whole. The class
antagonisms that
capitalism creates,
and bourgeoisie rule
shape these interests,
which transcend
national borders. The
Communist Party
seeks to turn the
proletariat into a
cohesive class with
clear and unified
class interests, to
overthrow the rule of
the bourgeoisie, and
to seize and
redistribute political
power. The key to
doing this, Marx and
Engels say, is the
abolition of private
property. Marx and
Engels acknowledge
that the bourgeoisie
respond to this
proposition with
scorn and derision.
To this, the Clinging
to the importance
and necessity of
private property only
benefits the
bourgeoisie in a
capitalist society.
Everyone else has
little to no access to
it and suffers under
its reign. (In a
contemporary
context, consider
the vastly unequal
distribution of wealth
in the U.S., and the
mountain of
consumer, housing,
and educational debt
that buries most of
the population.)

Marx and Engels go

on to state the ten
goals of the
Communist Party:
Abolition of property
in land and
application of all
rents of land to
public purposes. A
heavy progressive or
graduated income
tax. Abolition of all
rights of inheritance.
Confiscation of the
property of all
emigrants and rebels.
Centralization of
credit in the hands of
the state, by means
of a national bank
with State capital
and an exclusive
monopoly.

Centralization of the
means of
communication and
transport in the
hands of the State.
Extension of factories
and instruments of
production owned by
the State; the
bringing into
cultivation of
wastelands, and the
improvement of the
soil generally in
accordance with a
common plan. Equal
liability of all to work.
Establishment of
industrial armies,
especially for
agriculture.
Combination of
agriculture with
manufacturing
industries; gradual
abolition of all the
distinction between
town and country by
a more equable
distribution of
the populace over the
country. Free
education for all
children in public
schools. Abolition of
children’s factory
labor in its present
form. Combination of
education with
industrial production,
etc. In the third part
of the manifesto,
Marx and Engels
present an overview
of three types of
critique against the
bourgeoisie. These
include reactionary
socialism,
conservative or
bourgeois socialism,
and critical-utopian
socialism or
communism. They
explain that the first
type either seeks to
return to a feudal
structure or preserve
conditions as they
are. This type is
opposed to the goals
of the Communist
Party. Conservative
or bourgeois
socialism stems from
members of the
bourgeoisie savvy
enough to know that
one must address
some grievances of
the proletariat to
maintain the system
as it is. Marx and
Engels note that
economists,
philanthropists,
humanitarians, those
who run charities,
and many other "do-
gooders" espouse and
produce this
particular ideology,
which seeks to make
minor adjustments to
the system rather
than change.

Finally, critical-
utopian socialism or
communism offers
real critiques of the
class and social
structure. A vision of
what could be, this
type of communism
suggests that the
goal should be to
create new and
separate societies
rather than fight to
reform the existing
one. It opposes a
collective struggle by
the proletariat. In the
"Communist
Manifesto's" final
section, Marx and
 Engels point out that
the Communist Party
supports all
revolutionary
movements that
challenge the
existing social and
political order. The
manifesto ends with a
call for the
proletariat, or
working class, to
come together.
Invoking their
famous rally cry,
Marx and Engels say,
"Working men of all
countries, unite!"

6 war and peace by Leo 1-600 pages War and Peace opens in the
Tolstoy Russian city of St. Petersburg
in 1805, as Napoleon’s
conquest of western Europe
is just beginning to stir fears
in Russia. Many of the
novel’s characters are
introduced at a society
hostess’s party, among them
Pierre Bezukhov, the socially
awkward but likeable
illegitimate son of a rich
count, and Andrew
Bolkonski, the intelligent
and ambitious son of a
retired military commander.
We also meet the sneaky
and shallow Kuragin family,
including the wily father
Vasili, the fortune-hunter
son Anatole, and the
ravishing daughter Helene.
We are introduced to the
Rostovs, a noble Moscow
family, including the lively
daughter Natasha, the quiet
cousin Sonya, and the
impetuous son Nicholas,
who has just joined the army
led by the old General
Kutuzov.

The Russian troops are

mobilized in alliance with
the Austrian empire, which
is currently resisting
Napoleon’s onslaught. Both
Andrew and Nicholas go to
the front. Andrew is
wounded at the Battle of
Austerlitz, and though he
survives, he is long
presumed dead. Pierre is
made sole heir of his father’s
fortune and marries Helene
Kuragina in a daze. Helene
cheats on Pierre, and he
challenges her seducer to a
duel in which Pierre nearly
kills the man.

Andrew’s wife, Lise, gives

birth to a son just as Andrew
arrives home to his estate,
much to the shock of his
family. Lise dies in childbirth,
leaving Andrew’s devout
sister Mary to raise the son.
Meanwhile, Pierre,
disillusioned by married life,
leaves his wife and becomes
involved with the spiritual
practice of Freemasonry. He
attempts to apply the
practice’s teachings to his
estate management, and
share these teachings with
his skeptical friend Andrew,
who is doing work to help
reform the Russian
government.

Meanwhile, the Rostov

family’s fortunes are failing,
thanks in part to Nicholas’s
gambling debts. The Rostovs
consider selling their
beloved family estate,
Otradnoe. Nicholas is
encouraged to marry a rich
heiress, despite his earlier
promise to marry Sonya.
Nicholas’s army career
continues, and he witnesses
the great peace between
Napoleon and Tsar
Alexander. Natasha grows
up, attends her first ball, and
falls in love with various
men before becoming
seriously attached to
Andrew. Andrew’s father
objects to the marriage, and
requires Andrew to wait a
year before wedding
Natasha. Natasha reluctantly
submits to this demand, and
Andrew goes off to travel.

After Andrew departs, his

father becomes irritable and
cruel toward Mary, who
accepts the cruelty with
Christian forgiveness.
Natasha is attracted to
Anatole Kuragin, who
confesses his love. She
eventually decides that she
loves Anatole and plans to
elope with him, but the plan
fails. Andrew comes home
and rejects Natasha for her
involvement with Anatole.
Pierre consoles Natasha and
feels an attraction toward
her. Natasha falls ill.

In 1812, Napoleon invades

Russia, and Tsar Alexander
reluctantly declares war.
Andrew returns to active
military service. Pierre
observes Moscow’s
response to Napoleon’s
threat and develops a crazy
sense that he has a mission
to assassinate Napoleon.
The French approach the
Bolkonski estate, and Mary
and the old Prince Bolkonski
(Andrew’s father) are
advised to leave. The prince
dies just as the French
troops arrive. Mary, finally
forced to leave her estate,
finds the local peasants
hostile. Nicholas happens to
ride up and save Mary. Mary
and Nicholas feel the
stirrings of romance.

The Russians and French

fight a decisive battle at
Borodino, where the smaller
Russian army inexplicably
defeats the French forces,
much to Napoleon’s dismay.
In St. Petersburg, life in the
higher social circles
continues almost unaffected
by the occupation of
Moscow. Helene seeks an
annulment of her marriage
with Pierre in order to marry
a foreign prince. Distressed
by this news, Pierre
becomes deranged and flees
his companions, wandering
alone through Moscow.

Meanwhile, the Rostovs

pack up their belongings,
preparing to evacuate, but
they abandon their
possessions to convey
wounded soldiers instead.
Natasha’s younger brother
Petya enters the army. On
the way out of the city, the
Rostovs take along the
wounded Andrew with
them. Pierre, still wandering
half-crazed in Moscow, sees
widespread anarchy, looting,
fire, and murder. Still
obsessed with his mission of
killing Napoleon, he saves a
girl from a fire but is
apprehended by the French
authorities. Pierre witnesses
the execution of several of
his prison mates, and bonds
with a wise peasant named
Platon Karataev.

Nicholas’s aunt tries to

arrange a marriage between
Nicholas and Mary, but
Nicholas resists,
remembering his
commitment to Sonya. Mary
visits the Rostovs to see the
wounded Andrew, and
Natasha and Mary grow
closer. Andrew forgives
 Natasha, declaring his love
for her before he dies.
General Kutuzov leads the
Russian troops back toward
Moscow, which the French
have finally abandoned after
their defeat at Borodino. The
French force the Russian
prisoners of war, including
Pierre, to march with them.
On the way, Platon falls ill
and is shot as a straggler.
The Russians follow the
retreating French, and small
partisan fighting ensues.
Petya is shot and killed.

Pierre, after being liberated

from the French, falls ill for
three months. Upon
recovering, he realizes his
love for Natasha, which she
reciprocates. Pierre and
Natasha are married in 1813
and eventually have four
children. Natasha grows into
a solid, frumpy Russian
matron. Nicholas weds
Mary, resolving his family’s
financial problems. He also
rebuilds Mary’s family’s
estate, which had been
damaged in the war. Despite
some tensions, Nicholas and
Mary enjoy a happy family
life.
