Bibliography
Bibliography (from and ), as a discipline, is traditionally the academic study of books as physical, cultural objects; in this sense, it is also known as bibliology (from ). English author and bibliographer John Carter describes ''bibliography'' as a word having two senses: one, a list of books for further study or of works consulted by an author (or enumerative bibliography); the other one, applicable for collectors, is "the study of books as physical objects" and "the systematic description of books as objects" (or descriptive bibliography). Etymology The word was used by Greek writers in the first three centuries CE to mean the copying of books by hand. In the 12th century, the word started being used for "the intellectual activity of composing books." The 17th century then saw the emergence of the modern meaning, that of description of books. Currently, the field of bibliography has expanded to include studies that consider the book as a material object. Bibliography, in ...

Dieu Van Tong
''Dieu'' ("God", 1891) is a long religious epic by Victor Hugo, parts of which were written between 1855 and 1862. It was left unfinished, and published after his death. When it was rejected by his publisher in 1857, Hugo tried to integrate it into ''Petites Epopées'' (later ''La Légende des siècles''), eventually announcing that it would form a companion work, along with ''La Fin de Satan''. He had stopped work entirely by 1862, and while the result is fairly coherent, it is less complete than either of the other works, lacking even opening lines. Argument The first part is entitled ''Ascension dans les Ténèbres'' ("Ascent into the Shadows") or ''Le Seuil du gouffre'' ("The Threshold of the Abyss"). The poet encounters a being which identifies itself as the Human Spirit: an embodiment of mediocrity, middlingness, of humanity ''en masse''. After the spirit questions him on his motives for coming to this place, the narrator calls out into the void, and soon believes he can ...

The Thrill Book
''The Thrill Book'' was a U.S. pulp magazine published by Street & Smith in 1919. It was intended to carry "different" stories: this meant stories that were unusual or unclassifiable, which in practice often meant the stories were Fantasy genre, fantasy or science fiction. The first eight issues, edited by Harold Hersey, were a mixture of adventure fiction, adventure and Weird fiction, weird stories. Contributors included Greye La Spina, Fulton Oursler, Charles Fulton Oursler, J. H. Coryell, and Seabury Quinn. Hersey was replaced by Ronald Oliphant with the July1 issue, probably because Street & Smith were unhappy with his performance. Oliphant printed more science fiction and fantasy than Hersey had done, though this included two stories by Murray Leinster which Hersey had purchased before being replaced. The most famous story from ''The Thrill Book'' is ''The Heads of Cerberus'', a very early example of a novel about alternative time tracks, by Francis Stevens. Oliphant was gi ...
