Julio Verne, el famoso escritor de novelas de anticipación y aventuras en su serie "Viajes Extraordinarios" fue también un consumado autor de relatos y novelas breves, que solía escribir entre sus obras de más envergadura. En estos relatos, Verne cultivó gran cantidad de géneros literarios, desde el puramente aventurero, ("Un Drama en México", "Una invernada en los hielos", "Los forzadores de bloqueos") hasta la ciencia ficción ("El nuevo Adán", "La jornada de un periodista americano en el 2889"), pasando por el humorístico ("El doctor Ox". "Diez horas de caza"), o el terror ("Maese Zacarías", "Frritt-Flacc"). En los veinte relatos que componen esta colección podemos obtener una perspectiva única de las diferentes etapas por las que pasó la escritura y las propias creencias de Verne, desde “El matrimonio del señor Anselmo de los Tilos" escrito con veintiséis años, hasta los relatos de su madurez.

Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents.Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer), a castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued. The story has been thought to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called "Más a Tierra", now part of Chile, which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966.Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well received in the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. It is generally seen as a contender for the first English novel. Before the end of 1719, the book had already run through four editions, and it has gone on to become one of the most widely published books in history, spawning so many imitations, not only in literature but also in film, television and radio, that its name is used to define a genre, the Robinsonade.

RD SHARMA CLASS 10TH BOOK
English summary: This work, which many regard as Karl Popper's most important for the scientific world, is being published in a new edition as part of the Collected Works. In Popper's opinion, it is a mistake to consider scientific knowledge to be certain knowledge. He maintains that, on the contrary, scientific knowledge consists of bold speculations and of strictly examined but in reality provisional conjectures. German description: Karl Popper stellt in seinem Hauptwerk, der Logik der Forschung, die Erkenntnistheorie als Methodologie dar, die erklart, warum unser Wissen fehlbar ist und warum wir nicht primar aus erfullten, sondern aus gescheiterten Erwartungen lernen: Der Erkenntnisfortschritt resultiert aus Versuch und Irrtum. Die bedeutendsten Resultate des Buches sind das Falsifizierbarkeitskriterium zur Abgrenzung wissenschaftlicher Satze und Poppers Vorschlag zur Losung des Problems der empirischen Basis der Wissenschaft. Sein Abgrenzungskriterium loste das neopositivistische Sinnkriterium ab, nach dem nicht verifizierbare Satze sinnlos sind, und seine These, auch Beobachtungssatze seien, wegen der Transzendenz dessen, was sie darstellen, uber das, was wahrgenommen wurde, fehlbare Hypothesen, beendete die Protokollsatzdebatte im Wiener Kreis. Mit der Verallgemeinerung der Idee der Prufbarkeit zur Idee der Kritik entstand aus dem Neoempirismus der kritischen Rationalismus.[...] gehort Poppers Buch zu den wichtigsten gegenwartigen Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet der Wissenschaftslogik. [...] Es wird Zustimmung und Widerspruch auslosen...Rudolf Carnap in Erkenntnis, Bd. 5 (1935), S. 294Nach der Kreativitat in der Wissenschaft zu fragen, setzt voraus, dass wir wissen, was eine wissenschaftliche Entdeckung ist. Dies bedeutet aber wiederum, die Logik der wissenschaftlichen Entdeckung zu erfassen. [...] Poppers Prinzip ist damit die Basis aller Wissenschaft. Wer es nicht anwendet, scheitert.
