The Tribulations of a Chinaman in China: Illustrated, is an adventure novel by Jules Verne, first published in 1879. The story is about a rich Chinese man, Kin-Fo, who is bored with life, and after some business misfortune decides to die. The book is a traditional adventure, similar in style to Around the World in Eighty Days, which is one of the author's more well-known books. However, it does contain more humour as well as criticism of topics such as the British opium trade in China. Kin-Fo, a well to do Chinese man living in Shang-Hai, is accused by his good friend Wang of not having had any discomforts in his life that would make him appreciate true happiness. When Kin-Fo, receives news that his fortune is lost, he arranges for an insurance policy to be taken out on his life that would cover his death, even by suicide; which he is planning on committing. When Kin-Fo can’t bring himself to end his own life, he contracts Wang to do it, by even giving him a letter that will exonerate him of the deed. [mehr]

This is not a children's book. It addresses serious subjects including sexual violence. Asai Quannra, the Pirate king's daughter, is forced to stay on the world of Sand at the Cliff Walls colony--the same colony ruled by Lord Gwyrran--the father of Anda Gwyrran. The idea was for her to stay with her cousins, the Veelslahs, while most of her father's colony goes marauding off into space to attack the shipping fleets of the Th'san Empire. However, Asai thinks this is a bad idea. And she is right. But the Cliff Walls colony is more corrupt and dangerous than even she could have imagined. It is not safe for an independent-minded young woman, especially one who dares to challege the perverse and corrupt society that turns a blind eye to the actions of their young and unrestrained men. And though she is the Pirate king's daughter, giving her some protection, not all of her detractors comprehend that messing with her is a bad idea. After all, the Pirate king would kill anyone who messed with his daughter. Problem is, her father is far away and her allies in the camp are few and getting fewer. And those who have their eyes on her don't exactly think with their heads. [mehr]

Nellie McClung, born Nellie Letitia Mooney (20 October 1873 – 1 September 1951), was a Canadian feminist, politician, author, and social activist. She was a part of the social and moral reform movements prevalent in Western Canada in the early 1900s. In 1927, McClung and four other women: Henrietta Muir Edwards, Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney and Irene Parlby, who together came to be known as "The Famous Five" (also called "The Valiant Five"),[2] launched the "Persons Case," contending that women could be "qualified persons" eligible to sit in the Senate. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that current law did not recognize them as such. However, the case was won upon appeal to the Judicial Committee of the British Privy Council—the court of last resort for Canada at that time. [mehr]
