The World Set Free H. G. Wells English
You’d appreciate its eerie prescience: Wells imagines “atomic bombs” in 1914, then follows their aftermath into a world trying to build peace. It reads less like a novel than a brisk future history, full of political argument and big ideas, so character-driven readers may find it dry.
Through the Brazilian Wilderness Theodore Roosevelt saggistica English
Roosevelt cataloguing birds and piranhas is pleasant enough, but the book turns quietly harrowing once the River of Doubt starts eating canoes and he's running a fever, still writing calmly. If you like old expedition accounts with real teeth, this earns its slow stretches.
