Ingersoll Lockwood

    2. srpen 1841 – 30. září 1918

    Ingersoll Lockwood byl americký právník a spisovatel, jehož díla dnes nejvíce prosluly díky dětským románům o Baronu Trumpovi. Kromě nich napsal i další knihy pro děti, dystopický román zkoumající budoucnost a několik odborných prací, z nichž některé publikoval pod pseudonymem. Jeho psaní se často zaměřuje na předvídání budoucích společenských změn a zkoumá témata politiky a morálky. Lockwoodův odkaz spočívá v jeho vizionářském pohledu na svět a schopnosti zachytit podstatu doby ve svých literárních dílech.

      Fully Illustrated Omnibus Edition. Contains both Baron Trump novels and 1900 The Last President in one volume, with all original illustrations. First published in the 1890s as two separate volumes (Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and his wonderful dog Bulger, and Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey) the Baron Trump adventures owe much to Baron Munchausen and are collected here on a single volume. His extraordinary adventures are quaintly humorous, contagious, and full of rollicking fun. These old-time children's stories are full of marvel, mystery and adventure, with the hero visiting strange imagined countries as absurd as anything in Gulliver's Travels or Alice in Wonderland, full of equally preposterous characters. A delight to young and old, this volume is rendered the more attractive by the numerous grotesque illustrations. As a bonus, the satirical short tale The Last President (1900) is included in these pages as well. This work is not a cheap scan or the result of copying and pasting; It contains no missing pages, areas of blurred or missing text, photocopier's fingers, coffee stains, or other scanning artifacts. It has all of the original text and illustrations, reformatted in an easy to read format.

    • INCLUDING THE BOOK THAT SEEMS TO PREDICT THE RISE AND FALL OF DONALD J TRUMP 3 Novels by Ingersoll Lockwood Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey 1900, or, The Last President __________________ Lockwood published the first novel, Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger, in 1889, and its sequel, Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey, in 1893. The novels recount the adventures of the German boy Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastian Von Troomp, who goes by "Baron Trump," as he discovers weird underground civilizations, offends the natives, flees from his entanglements with local women, and repeats this pattern until arriving back home at Castle Trump. The novels were part of a trend in U.S. children's literature that responded to the demand for fantastic adventure stories triggered by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). The third novel, 1900, or The Last President, is a dystopian work in which New York City is riven by protests following the shocking victory of a populist candidate in the 1896 presidential election, a candidate who brings on the downfall of the American republic.
