Bomba, the Jungle Boy and the Moving Mountain

Roy Rockwood

This is the second book in the Bomba the Jungle Boy series following Bomba the Jungle Boy. It is a series of adventure books produced by the Stratemeyer Syndicate between 1926 and 1938 in a youthful imitation of the highly successful Tarzan series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Bomba is kind of a mixture of Tarzan and Mowgli. He is an orphaned boy who lives in the jungle. A common theme of the Bomba books is that Bomba, because he is white, has a soul that is awake, while his friends, the dark-skinned natives, have souls that are sleeping. In this case he has to rescue some white travelers from a band of headhunters and other dangers, and at the same time try to investigate his heritage and discover who his parents were. Strongly recommended this book for every teenager who wants to discover the exciting world of reading adventure fiction and for their parents!

Mr Britling Sees It Through

Herbert George Wells

This story is essentially the history of the opening and of the realisation of the Great War as it happened to one small group of people in Essex, and more particularly as it happened to one human brain. Mr. Britling Sees It Through begins with a lighthearted account of an American visiting England for the first time, but the outbreak of war changes everything. Day by day and month by month, Wells chronicles the unfolding events and public reaction as witnessed by the inhabitants of one house in rural Essex. Each of the characters tries in a different way to keep their bearings in a world suddenly changed beyond recognition. The novel was written and published before the war ended, so there is no victory, no Versailles Treaty and no notion of what is to come.
