This book is a real gem in a way that is difficult to describe. The author wrote it several years ago but I think that the topic is real and still alive. It will make you think about life, the world, and the order of things.

It’s the story of two sisters, Nell and Eva, who live with their parents in a little house in the Redwood forest of California. Quickly the reader learns about the death of their mother from cancer and shortly thereafter their father dies in an accident in the forest as well. So, the two girls are on their own with little food and the dangers of the forest and the outside world.

Nell wants to study at Havard. Eva wants to become a ballet dancer. For the first part of the story both concentrate on maintaining a normal life. Nell is the one who tells the story as part of a notebook that her sister gave her one day. One of the last notebooks because, as the reader is told, the world has changed.

That change happened slowly and the reader never exactly learns what happened. In fact, the two don’t know exactly either. Only a few little hints are given in the story. In the little space of the house in the forest the reader can guess about what happens outside of the forest in the city and beyond. It starts with the electricity not working until it disappears completely. And the last time the family goes to the city, it seems that there is no leadership anymore, no rules and no order.

For the most part of the story the two sisters have to take care for each other on their own. There is, however, a boy Eli whom Nell likes a lot. He has the (empty?) hope that another part of the country starts to get better again. He wants to go to Boston with the sisters. But otherwise the girls are on their own … almost to the end. Because something happens that will endanger their quiet life in the forest.

But I won’t tell you about that.

This story creates strange, unfamiliar ideas. It’s not exactly about how the order of the world ended but rather how people in it change. What is truely important? Whom can you really trust? What do we really know about the world and life around us? For example, as the their food runs out, they have to learn about the forest and the plants. They have to learn which plants are edible and which aren’t in order to survive. It makes you think whether we could survive in a world without energy, PCs, mobile phones, news and so on. It’s difficult and I don’t have a truely satisfying answer.

Futility, or The Wreck of the Titan by Morgan Robertson

You might think, ‘Wait a minute. A story about a luxurious ocean liner that transports over 3,000 people across the Atlantic considered to be “unsinkable”? It collides with an iceberg, sinks and most of the passangers are lost? Haven’t we heard that before?’

You might think so and you are certainly right. The similarities to the real events of the catastrophic fate of the ocean liner Titanic are striking right down to the similar name. It gets even eerier if you consider the fact that this novella by American author Morgan Robertson was written 14 years before the by-now famous accident.

Granted, there are differences (the Titan is bigger, can transport more people … and thus, lose more lives because of too few life boats; the route is from North America to England) but the similarities are uncanny and make this reading a weird one at best.

The story follows the disgraced former US Navy officer John Rowland who meets his former lover Myra on board the ocean liner. She is married by now and has a daughter. Rowland, an alcoholic and not very respectable in society anymore, has no way of reconnecting with her.
Half way through the novella, the ship hits an iceberg, Rowland can save Myra’s daughter onto the berg and has to endure several days before being rescued.

The last few chapters deal with the insurance question after the accident. Who is to blame, who will pay for the loss of the investment, and who might gain from it? Again Rowland’s integrity is at stake. For those of you Cameron-followers it is maybe worth noting that one of the share holders of the company is named Selfridge. Coinsidence? Who knows…

Maybe it is impossible to imagine how this story impacted on the reader before the fatal accident that happened on 15 April, 1912 that cost more than 1,500 lives. If you know at least the most common details you will inevitably compare the frame facts of the story to the real events. But that doesn’t diminish the reading experience—it just makes it … weirder. To imagine that somebody pictured something like this before it happened raises the question of ‘life imitating art’… It was something new for me as well in another area: this was my first eBook that I read completely on my mobile device.

Is it a tragic love story as in Cameron’s depiction of the events? Or does Robertson chooses a happy end for the protagonist? Well, you should read it yourself and find out. The book is available for free in eBook form. Enjoy (as far as possible).
