Three men wish to try out their luck in finding a hidden treasure in the unyielding Canadian Wilderness while a young Indian Princess is kidnapped for this purpose. Excerpt: "It was that hour when the old hunter on the trail takes off his pack, silently gathers wood for a fire, eats his dinner and smokes his pipe, eyes and ears alert;—that hour when if you speak above a whisper, he will say to you, «Sh-h-h-h! Be quiet! You can't tell how near we are to game. Everything has had its morning feed and is lying low. The game won't be moving again for an hour or two, and there may be moose or caribou a gunshot ahead. We couldn't hear them—now!» James Oliver Curwood was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. His books ranked among top-ten best sellers in the United States and at least eighteen motion pictures have been based on or directly inspired by his novels and short stories. At the time of his death, he was the highest paid (per word) author in the world. His writing studio, Curwood Castle, is now a museum in Owosso, Michigan.

Up and down three long coasts they went as fast as legs and sleds could carry them. One smooth path led into the meadow, and here the little folk congregated; one swept across the pond, where skaters were darting about like water-bugs; and the third, from the very top of the steep hill, ended abruptly at a rail fence on the high bank above the road."

Auf zwei Planeten (Science-Fiction)
Dieses eBook wurde mit einem funktionalen Layout erstellt und sorgfältig formatiert. Die Ausgabe ist mit interaktiven Inhalt und Begleitinformationen versehen, einfach zu navigieren und gut gegliedert. Kurd Laßwitz (1848-1910) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller. Er publizierte auch unter dem Pseudonym L. Velatus und gilt als Begründer der deutschsprachigen Science Fiction. Laßwitz gilt als einer der Väter der modernen Science Fiction. Er schrieb außerdem Bücher über Physik, Erkenntnistheorie sowie Immanuel Kant und bearbeitete auch eine kritische Ausgabe von Gustav Theodor Fechner (Begründer der Psychophysik). Anders als Jules Verne und stärker als Herbert George Wells verwendete Kurd Laßwitz die SF vor allem für belehrende und kritisierende Zwecke. Seine Zukunftsentwürfe sind mutiger als die Werke seiner beiden Kollegen und Zeitgenossen, weil sie weiter in die Zukunft reichen. Sein Roman Auf zwei Planeten (1897) mit seinen über tausend Seiten gehört zu den wichtigsten deutschen Science-Fiction-Romanen, der auch in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt wurde und mehrmals neu aufgelegt wurde. Inhalt: Am Nordpol Das Geheimnis des Pols Die Bewohner des Mars Der Sturz des Ballons Auf der künstlichen Insel In der Pflege der Fee Neue Rätsel Die Herren des Weltraums Die Gäste der Marsbewohner La und Saltner Martier und Menschen Die Raumschiffer Das Abenteuer am Südpol Zwischen Erde und Mars 6356 Kilometer über dem Nordpol … Auf dem Mars Sehenswürdigkeiten des Mars Das heimliche Frühstück Das Erdmuseum Mars-Politiker Ideale Fünfhundert Milliarden Steuern Das Retrospektiv Die Rente des Mars Saltners Reise Die Wüste Gol Gefährlicher Ruheplatz Die Martier sind auf der Erde Ismas Leiden Die Schlacht bei Portsmouth Das Protektorat über die Erde Die Besiegten Torms Flucht Das Unglück des Vaterlands Der Kultor der Deutschen
