Fire in the Stone
Author: Nicholas Ruddick
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 0819569720
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
The genre of prehistoric fiction contains a surprisingly large and diverse group of fictional works by American, British, and French writers from the late nineteenth century to the present that describe prehistoric humans. Nicholas Ruddick explains why prehistoric fiction could not come into being until after the acceptance of Charles Darwin's theories, and argues that many early prehistoric fiction works are still worth reading even though the science upon which they are based is now outdated. Exploring the history and evolution of the genre, Ruddick shows how prehistoric fiction can offer fascinating insights into the possible origins of human nature, sexuality, racial distinctions, language, religion, and art. The book includes discussions of well-known prehistoric fiction by H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, J.-H. Rosny Aîné, Jack London, William Golding, Arthur C. Clarke, and Jean M. Auel and reminds us of some unjustly forgotten landmarks of prehistoric fiction. It also briefly covers such topics as the recent boom in prehistoric romance, notable prehistoric fiction for children and young adults, and the most entertaining movies featuring prehistoric humans. The book includes illustrations that trace the changing popular images of cave men and women over the past 150 years.

Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Johnstone Country. Loaded for Bear. Ex-Rebel tracker Hunter Buchanon and his faithful coyote Bobby Lee come face to face—and tooth and claw—with the biggest, fiercest killer they’ve ever known . . . CURSE OF THE GRIZZLY MOON A cattle ranch stalked by the ultimate predator. A heiffer gutted and beheaded by razor-sharp claws. A ranch hand crushed and shredded by powerful jaws. According to legend—foretold by Sioux Chief Red Otter—the attacks are an omen of terrible things to come. When a grizzly attacks a man or his property during a blue moon, it is a sign that the bear has been sent from someone on the other side seeking revenge against the man that killed him. And that man—the avenger’s true target—is Hunter Buchanon . . . To end the curse, Hunter must hunt down the grizzly and kill it—before it kills him and everyone he loves. He sets off into the wilderness for the final showdown between predator and prey. But this time, Hunter is the hunted . . . Live Free. Read Hard.
