In today’s academe, the fields of science and literature are considered unconnected, one relying on raw data and fact, the other focusing on fiction. During the period between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, however, the two fields were not so distinct. Just as the natural philosophers of the era were discovering in and adopting from literature new strategies and techniques for their discourse, so too were poets and storytellers finding inspiration in natural philosophy, particularly in astronomy. A work that speaks to the history of science and literary studies, Fictions of the Cosmos explores the evolving relationship that ensued between fiction and astronomical authority. By examining writings of Kepler, Godwin, Hooke, Cyrano, Cavendish, Fontenelle, and others, Frédérique Aït-Touati shows that it was through the telling of stories—such as through accounts of celestial journeys—that the Copernican hypothesis, for example, found an ontological weight that its geometric models did not provide. Aït-Touati draws from both cosmological treatises and fictions of travel and knowledge, as well as personal correspondences, drawings, and instruments, to emphasize the multiple borrowings between scientific and literary discourses. This volume sheds new light on the practices of scientific invention, experimentation, and hypothesis formation by situating them according to their fictional or factual tendencies.

Throughout the novels and stories. The cosmicomical tales, with their focus on science, are seen as crucial to the development of the symbolic mindscapes that made Calvino a major international writer. He died before arriving at any satisfactory solution to the problems of relating the 'I' to the 'not-I', but Hume derives from his later works a philosophy based on the creation of likenesses, of internal microcosms that permit us to mirror the macrocosm. These interior.

From acclaimed authors Terry Prattchet and Stephen Baxter comes the last novel in the bestselling Long Earth series. 2070-71. Nearly six decades after Step Day and in the Long Earth, the new Next post-human society continues to evolve. For Joshua Valienté, now in his late sixties, it is time to take one last solo journey into the High Meggers: an adventure that turns into a disaster. Alone and facing death, his only hope of salvation lies with a group of trolls. But as Joshua confronts his mortality, the Long Earth receives a signal from the stars. A signal that is picked up by radio astronomers but also in more abstract ways – by the trolls and by the Great Traversers. Its message is simple but its implications are enormous: JOIN US. The super-smart Next realise that the Message contains instructions on how to develop an immense artificial intelligence but to build it they have to seek help from throughout the industrious worlds of mankind. Bit by bit, byte by byte, they assemble a computer the size of a continent – a device that will alter the Long Earth’s place within the cosmos and reveal the ultimate, life-affirming goal of those who sent the Message. Its impact will be felt by and resonate with all – mankind and other species, young and old, communities and individuals – who inhabit the Long Earths...

A “creatively captivating and intellectually challenging” existential mystery from the great Polish author—“sly, funny, and . . . lovingly translated” (The New York Times). Winner of the 1967 International Prize for Literature Milan Kundera called Witold Gombrowicz “one of the great novelists of our century.” Now his most famous novel, Cosmos, is available in a critically acclaimed translation by the award-winning translator Danuta Borchardt. Cosmos is a metaphysical noir thriller narrated by Witold, a seedy, pathetic, and witty student, who is charming and appalling by turns. In need of a quiet place to study, Witold and his melancholy friend Fuks head to a boarding house in the mountains. Along the way, they discover a dead bird hanging from a string. Is this a strange but meaningless occurrence or is it the first clue to a sinister mystery? As the young men become embroiled in the Chekhovian travails of the family that runs the boarding house, Grombrowicz creates a gripping narrative where the reader questions who is sane and who is safe. “Probably the most important 20th-century novelist most Western readers have never heard of.” —Benjamin Paloff, Words Without Borders

The Quest for the Cosmos is the thrilling first book in the epic Stellar Journeys trilogy that follows three young dreamers - Eva, an astrophysicist, Daniel, a mission controller, and Ben, a spacecraft engineer - as they sacrifice everything to achieve their cosmic ambitions. In the aftermath of a catastrophic space debris crisis that nearly grounds humanity's space programs forever, Eva, Daniel, and Ben find their passion for space exploration reignited by the formation of the elite United Terran Space Agency (UTSA). From their humble origins as starry-eyed teenagers to the grueling hardships of university, the trio must overcome every challenge and obstacle in pursuit of gaining entry into UTSA's hallowed ranks of pioneers. The Quest for the Cosmos immerses readers in the inspirational and intricately woven stories of Eva's quest to unlock the secrets of the cosmos through astrophysics, Daniel's drive to master the real-time feats of Mission Control, and Ben's innovative efforts to engineer the interstellar spacecraft of the future. Their intellectual journeys, triumphs, sacrifices, and unbreakable bonds of friendship create an emotional throughline in this meticulously researched yet thrilling drama. Brimming with high stakes, scientific integrity, and an unrelenting sense of wonder, The Quest for the Cosmos pays homage to an era of astronaut heroism and intelligent science fiction while setting the stage for the incredible, revelation-stacked adventures still to come in this sprawling tale of audacious space pioneers and cosmic destiny. Join Eva, Daniel, and Ben for the first, inspiring chapter in their daring Stellar Journeys as they achieve the seemingly impossible dream of joining UTSA - and venture onward into the depths of the infinite unknown.
