Publication Date: June 2, 2005| ISBN-10: 1877275743 | ISBN-13: 978-1877275746John David Ebert's Celluloid Heroes & Mechanical Dragons examines how movies since the late 1960s have developed a "myth of the machine" for our contemporary society.

|  | The Mysterious Stranger (Literary Classics)
Publication Date: September 1995| Series: Literary Classics In his last years, Mark Twain had become a respected literary figure whose opinions were widely sought by the press. He had also suffered a series of painful physical, economic, and emotional losses. "The Mysterious Stranger", published posthumously in 1916 and belonging to Twain's 'dark' period, belies the popular image of the affable American humorist. In this anti-religious tale, Twain denies the existence of a benign Providence, a soul, an afterlife, and even reality itself. As the Stranger in the story asserts, 'nothing exists;...

Publication Date: September 8, 2006| ISBN-10: 0786427760 | ISBN-13: 978-0786427765Edgar Allan Poe essentially invented the detective story in 1841 with Murders in the Rue Morgue.
