The Visitors (novel)
''The Visitors'' is a 1980 science fiction novel by American author Clifford D. Simak. It is based on a similar story of the same name, which was published in serial form in ''Analog'' magazine. Plot summary The story outlines contact between Earth and the eponymous Visitors, a group of mysterious objects from deep space. The Visitors are simple black oblong boxes, as large as buildings, which approach from space and orbit the Earth before descending to the United States. The nature of the visitors is kept rather mysterious — it's not clear if they are vehicles or living things in their own right. They are apparently unable to communicate with humans in any meaningful way; on one occasion a human is taken inside a Visitor, only to be released after experiencing a jumble of confusing colored lights and smells which he did not understand. The Visitors are composed largely of a dense form of cellulose, and they proceed to consume a quantity of trees and plant life in the US. ...

The Visitors (play)
''The Visitors'' is a 1961 one-act play by British people, British playwright Joe Orton. The BBC and the Royal Court Theatre had considered the work but ultimately rejected it, despite both having insisted that the writing was "excellent." Orton's career took off in 1964 with the staging of his ''Entertaining Mr. Sloane'', and ''The Visitors'' (aka ''The Visit'') remained forgotten until its UK publication in 1998 by Nick Hern Books; a US edition from Grove Press followed in 1999. Synopsis Kemp, a man facing death, is visited in hospital by his middle-aged daughter, Mrs. Platt. She and the nurse exchange optimistic clichés that completely ignore the reality of his situation. Criticism Elaine Showalter describes it and ''Fred & Madge'', with which it was published, as reading "as if they had just been written, and are wittier than most of what gets staged in the West End", suggesting that they should be produced. Stephen Grecco describes the two plays as "replete with the redund ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Visitor
A visitor, in English and Welsh law and history, is an overseer of an autonomous ecclesiastical or eleemosynary institution, often a charitable institution set up for the perpetual distribution of the founder's alms and bounty, who can intervene in the internal affairs of that institution. Those with such visitors are mainly cathedrals, chapels, schools, colleges, universities, and hospitals. Many visitors hold their role ''ex officio'', by serving as the British sovereign, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Chief Justice, or the bishop of a particular diocese. Others can be appointed in various ways, depending on the constitution of the organization in question. Bishops are usually the visitors to their own cathedrals. The King usually delegates his visitatorial functions to the Lord Chancellor. During the reform of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge in the 19th century, Parliament ordered visitations to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
