William Morris initiated the genre of high fantasy in a number of short novels written toward the end of his life. But he had already experimented with the genre much earlier in stories written for the Oxford and Cambridge Magazine, which he launched as a student at Oxford University in 1856. Published posthumously in book form, and reprinted as the eighth volume of the celebrated Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library under the title Golden Wings and other Stories, these short stories make an entertaining collection that stands up well against Morris's mature work. - Summary by Phil Benson

Das Ziel ist erreicht: Die Majestätische Dracht tritt in das System des Weißen Zwergs Wolf 489 ein – von den Grosnopfen ehrfürchtig Dreizack genannt.

Doch die Realität ist trostlos.

This sixth installment in the series, as one would expect, deals with events in the northern settlements that were taking place at the same times as those in the southern. The opening passage explains: "The Pilgrims and Puritans, whose migration to the New World marks the beginning of permanent settlement in New England, were children of the same age as the enterprising and adventurous pioneers of England in Virginia, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. It was the age in which the foundations of the British Empire were being laid in the Western Continent." - Summary by Charles M. Andrews Group: ...

Rom hat überlebt, doch der Preis war hoch. Archimedes gibt sich nicht länger damit zufrieden, nur die Mauern der Stadt zu verteidigen. Er hat das Unmögliche gewagt und die Technologie der Invasoren entschlüsselt, gebändigt und gegen sie gewendet. Jetzt ist die Zeit gekommen, den Krieg dorthin zu tragen, wo er seinen Ursprung nahm. An Bord einer Konstruktion, die jede Vorstellungskraft der Antike sprengt, verlässt Archimedes die vertraute Welt.

You already know what matters most. You just never seem to finish it. Not because you’re lazy. Not because you lack discipline. But because every day, the urgent cuts the line. By the time you answer the emails, sit through the meetings, and solve everyone else’s problems, the work that actually matters is still sitting there: unstarted or half-finished. Busy feels like progress. It isn’t. FASTER fixes that. Everyone is busy. The overwhelmed and the effective share the same goal: get more done. So busyness cannot be the difference. The difference is structure.
