Book Description
Could it be... the ape-man?... The pithecanthrope, the missing rung in the ecological ladder between the gorilla and man! There are claims it is not extinct. Travelers have met it in certain old-growth forests... Hemo, Gulluliou, and Jocko wear clothes, are modest, even cultivated, but will they make it in human so-called civilization? Count Ladislas Wolsky may be a master swordsman, but such a secret as his, the sword cannot protect for long... Brother Levrai questions the concept of truth, not to mention religious and secular theories of evolution after what he witnesses in the jungle. What would happen if European, African and Ape-Man met, face-to-face... Six classic tales of ape-men from a bygone era, including C.M. de Pougens' Jocko (1824), Emile Dodillon's Hemo (1886), Marcel Roland Almost A Man (1905) and The Missing Link (1914).

Flying Serpents and Dragons
Author: R. A. Boulay
Publisher: Book Tree
ISBN: 9781885395382
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
A highly original work that deals a shattering blow to all our preconceived notions about our past and human origins. Worldwide legends refer to giant flying lizards and dragons that came to this planet and founded the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and China. Who were these reptilian creatures? What was the real reason for mans creation? Why did Adam lose his chance at immortality in the Garden of Eden? Who were the Nefilim who descended from heaven and mated with human women? Why did the serpent take such a bad rap in history? Why didnt Adam and Eve wear clothes? What were the crystals or stones that the gods fought over? Why did the ancient Sumerians call their major gods USHUMGAL, which means literally great fiery, flying serpent? What were the boats of heaven in ancient Egypt and the sky chariots of the Bible? This book tells it all.

Human Prehistory in Fiction
Author: Charles De Paolo
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786483296
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
What was the world like for people thousands of years ago? How can we know? Through fiction? This is a work of literary criticism, and more. It begins with a discussion of the problem of authenticity and then considers twelve pieces of fiction that depict human prehistory: H.G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau, Pierre Boulle's The Planet of the Apes, Jules Verne's The Village in the Treetops, Edgar Rice Burroughs' The Land That Time Forgot, the struggle for legitimacy in Wells' "The Grisly Folk," the Tasmanian analogue in Lester Del Rey's "The Day Is Done," William Golding's The Inheritors, "the promise of humanity" in Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey, the theme of "a god among the heathen" in Wells' "The Lord of the Dynamos" and other works, Jean Auel's The Clan of the Cave Bear, J.H. Rosny-Aine's Quest for Fire, and Wells' The Time Machine: An Invention. A final chapter considers the paleoanthropologist as literary critic.
