By dark, I mean... Well one of the stories is about a mermaid who commits a particularly gory suicide. another is about a Teenage killer. I was thinking of "Wendsday Addams' Book of Bedtime Stories" but I think Wendsday addams' name is copyrighted.

Looking for a book read many years ago about cloning hitler, the mossad, a scottish island and amelia earhart?

Note Well - this is not Ira Levin's Boys from Brazil.
Many years ago I read a ridiculous novel concerning a plot by Nazi Germany to clone — or reproduce — Hitler by impregnating a woman with his genetic material. I have neither the author nor book title and am thus obliged to search a little fruitlessly. A theme/scene in the novel involved the incarceration of Amelia Earhart by the Nazis though in what context I can’t remember.

The novel would have appeared prior to 1985 as it was then that I remember reading it in the library, so it would have been in print for some years prior to this.

All that I can add to the plot is that the woman who is carrying the clone is incarcerated on a Scottish island for some of the period of her pregnancy before giving birth to a daughter! The novel concludes with the Israelis having tracked the mother and daughter down with the intention of assassinating the daughter.

George Orwell's 1984?

I'm curious to know your opinions about some of the concepts in Orwell's masterpiece. I've read the book many times and am not a high school or college kid looking for essay ideas.

What do you think of the idea of a Big Brother?

Does 1984 show an odd proximity of capitalism and dystopian socialism? Consider the shop keeper (capitalist or pretend capitalist) who essentially "sells" Winston to The Party. Also consider that most major religions espouse uptopian socialism in the form of Heaven. It's interesting to me that a communal state of existence is paradise in the afterlife and hell on earth.

What are your thoughts about Room 101?

Do you feel that there is any real truth to the issues of centralized power that Orwell puts forth?

- End with the public execution of both, that the to lovers die together in the scaffold (and what method hanging burning or beheading?)

- With both lovers separated forever, she locked in a convent and he in the galleys forever.

What do you think? which final is more dramatic and tragic?,What's worse of this things? and what is more romantic?
