In an alternate world where the mere presence of American
superheroes changed history, the US won the Vietnam War, Nixon is
still president, and the cold war is in full effect. Watchmen
begins as a murder-mystery, but soon unfolds into a planet-altering
conspiracy. As the resolution comes to a head, the unlikely group
of reunited heroes--Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr.
Manhattan and Ozymandias - have to test the limits of their
convictions and ask themselves where the true line is between good
and evil. In the mid-eighties, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created
Watchmen, changing the course of comics' history and essentially
remaking how popular culture perceived the genre. Popularly cited
as the point where comics came of age, Watchmen's sophisticated
take on superheroes has been universally acclaimed for its
psychological depth and realism. Watchmen is collected here with a
new cover, sketches, extra bonus material, and a new introduction
by series artist Dave Gibbons.
The Story of the Treasure Seekers (1899) is a children's novel by
English writer Edith Nesbit. The first book in Nesbit's beloved
Bastable trilogy-which also includes The Wouldbegoods (1901) and
The New Treasure Seekers (1904)-The Story of the Treasure Seekers
is a story of family, adventure, and mystery for children and
adults alike. The Bastable siblings-Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice,
Noel, and Horace Octavius-are clever and curious children who live
with their widowed father. When their mother died, their father
became ill and lost his successful business, forcing the family to
live modestly. Inspired by stories of buried gold and jewels-and
hoping to help their struggling father-the Bastable children decide
to go searching for treasure. Their adventure soon takes them to
London, where they abandon digging for the allure of paying work.
The Bastables come up with several schemes to make money, including
writing poetry, banditry, and starting a newspaper, in the process
discovering the power of imagination and the true value of home.
The Story of the Treasure Seekers is a masterpiece of children's
fiction from Edith Nesbit, one of the twentieth century's
children's authors. Originally published as a series of stories in
several different periodicals, The Story of the Treasure Seekers
was Nesbit's first novel for children. It would go on to influence
both Arthur Ransome and C.S. Lewis, and is a favorite of J.K.
Rowling's. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Edith Nesbit's The Story of the
Treasure Seekers is a classic of English children's literature
reimagined for modern readers.
