Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas - An Underwater Tour of the World by kooljay

"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: A World Tour Underwater is a classic science fiction adventure novel by French writer Jules Verne; it was first published in 1870. The book was widely acclaimed on its release and remains so; it's regarded as one of the premiere adventure novels and one of Verne's greatest works, along with Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth. The presentation of Captain Nemo's ship, the Nautilus, was considered ahead of its time, as it accurately describes many features of modern submarines, which in the 1860s were comparatively primitive vessels." -Wikipedia "When an unidentified "monster" threatens international shipping, French oceanographer Pierre Aronnax and his unflappable assistant Conseil join an expedition organized by the US Navy to hunt down and destroy the menace. After months of fruitless searching, they finally grapple with their quarry, but Aronnax, Conseil, and the brash Canadian harpooner Ned Land are thrown overboard in the attack, only to find that the "monster" is actually a futuristic submarine, the Nautilus, commanded by a shadowy, mystical, preternaturally imposing man who calls himself Captain Nemo. Thus begins a journey of 20,000 leagues-nearly 50,000 miles-that will take Captain Nemo, his crew, and these three adventurers on a journey of discovery through undersea forests, coral graveyards, miles-deep trenches, and even the sunken ruins of Atlantis." -Goodreads More readable version of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas" from the Gutenberg library.

Narnia's Lover by SashaSandy1

This story is partially under construction but I released all the parts written in 2015 and sooner to give a completed storyline. I have since left this story untouched. Elizabeth moved in with her Aunt after her father went to war. Her mother had disappeared when she was ten, and hasn't been seen since. She became friends with the Pevensie children, whom lived a couple houses away from her Aunt's, and they have become almost inseparable. Elizabeth gets swept away to a world called Narnia with the Pevensies, who have been there before. She has little knowledge of how to handle a sword, bow, or any weapon; yet she finds herself in the middle of a war. Not to mention the growing feeling of attraction for the handsome, young king.

Book of Bravery: A Novel 2,000 Plus Years in the Making by jamestburke

From the novel's back cover blurb... 'I'm not of your world, but I had a front-row seat to a little-known drama that nearly brought about your demise. Truth be told, I've actually been wanting to tell you about this saga for some time. It's a short tale, relatively speaking. It does, though, begin before the birth of Christ. There's a man named Quintus at the heart of it. First, he was a Roman Centurion, that is until he ended up in China, where he learned a thing or two from an old Taoist. Fast forward to today, and he still walks among you. You should know what he did through history wasn't done for himself; it was done for you, and it was done in the face of the greatest evil known to mankind.'

England has been dealing with his feelings toward France for the past few decades and is finally at his breaking point. How could he accept his feelings knowing of the history they had between each other? Granted, some of it was sweet, but now he must decide if it is his duty he is cursed to follow, or his heart.

Wealth by duncmacphun

Banking began in Florence, Venice and Genoa in the 14th century when Jews set up their benches in the piazzas to loan money and insure farmers crops. The ideas spread to Amsterdam and London, while the first stock exchange began in Amsterdam in 1611. Granted a charter in 1600, the East India company paid investors an average dividend of 16% per year. John Locke, by asserting that liberty was the basis for a prosperous society, influenced the United States Declaration of Independence. Lloyd's of London insurance market began in 1774. In 1776, Adam Smith explained how rational self-interest, competition and free markets would eliminate poverty. Milton Friedman maintained a country's abilities derived from its free markets while its failures came from government intervention. Bill Gates became rich by devising software that everyone wanted to buy. In the process he employed thousands in well paid jobs. In 2020, the U.S. flooded the economy with money to prevent a depression caused by a pandemic. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).
