by Clifford D. SimakIn the middle-distant future, Andrew Blake, discovered on a distant planet huddled inside a capsule, is brought back to Earth suffering from total amnesia.

The Werewolf Principle
by Clifford D. SimakHis body hosting a pair of strange alien presences, an amnesiac space traveler returns home to an unrecognizable Earth Many centuries in the future, a two-hundred-year-old man is discovered hibernating in a space capsule orbiting a distant star. Transported back to his home planet, Andrew Blake awakens to an Earth he does not recognize--a world of flying cars and sentient floating houses--with no memory whatsoever of his history or purpose. But he has not returned alone. The last survivor of a radical experiment abandoned more than a century earlier, Blake was genetically altered to be able to adapt to extreme alien environments, and now he can sense other presences inhabiting his mind and body. One is a biological computer of astonishing power; the other is a powerful creature akin to a large wolf. And Blake is definitely not the one in control. With his sanity hanging in the balance, Blake's only option is to set out in frantic pursuit of his past, the truth, his destiny--and quite possibly the fate of humankind. A bravura demonstration of unparalleled imagination, intelligence, and heart, The Werewolf Principle addresses weighty issues of genetic manipulation that are as relevant today as when the novel first appeared in print. One of the all-time best and brightest in speculative fiction, Grand Master Clifford D. Simak offers a moving, stunning, witty, and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human.

Unsere Kutsche wurde von sechs Pferden aus den königlichen Ställen gezogen. Acht Soldaten ritten vor uns und Acht hinter uns. Die Nacht brach ein und ein wunderschöner Vollmond erschien am Himmel. Während mein Vater und meine Schwester schliefen, strich ich die Vorhänge des Kutschfensters beiseite. Mit einem Mal glaubte ich eine Gruppe riesiger Kreaturen links vom Wegrand zwischen den Bäumen entlangrennen zu sehen. Mein Fenster beschlug und noch während ich es reinigte überschlug sich die Kutsche mehrere Male. Als sie endlich zum Erliegen kam, hörte ich mehrere Schüsse, grauenhafte Schreie und lautes, wolfähnliches Geheul.

Werewolves: A Field Guide to Shapeshifters, Lycanthropes, and Man-Beasts
by Bob CurranMost of us are familiar with the idea of a werewolf that someone can change, either deliberately or unwillingly, into a ravenous creature but is there some justification for such a belief? And if so, how is it achieved through magical potions or ointments or simply by the light of the full moon? Or is the whole thing simply a form of delusion, the product of a disturbed mind? In "Werewolves," author Dr. Bob Curran examines the deep psychological roots that underlie this profane linking of human and beast. Do the roots of such a belief lie in the supernatural world, or are there other explanations? How has the discovery of feral children shaped our ideas of human-beasts? The author also considers the use of genetic engineering in this case, the fusing of human and animal genes in order to cure some human diseases and alleviate suffering. "Werewolves" is an essential reference book that takes an in-depth look at a fascinating subject.
