The Year 3000: A DreamFirst published in 1897, The Year 3000 is the most daring and original work of fiction by the prominent Italian anthropologist Paolo Mantegazza. A futuristic utopian novel, the book follows two young lovers who, as they travel from Rome to the capital of the United Planetary States to celebrate their "mating union," encounter the marvels of cultural and scientific advances along the way. Intriguing in itself, The Year 3000 is also remarkable for both
First published in 1897, The Year 3000 is the most daring and original work of fiction by the prominent Italian anthropologist Paolo Mantegazza. A futuristic utopian novel, the book follows two young lovers who, as they travel from Rome to the capital of the United Planetary States to celebrate their "mating union," encounter the marvels of cultural and scientific advances along the way. Intriguing in itself, The Year 3000 is also remarkable for both its vision of the future (predicting an astonishing array of phenomena from airplanes, artificial intelligence, CAT scans, and credit cards to controversies surrounding divorce, abortion, and euthanasia) and the window it opens on fin de si cle Europe. Published here for the first time in English, this richly annotated edition features an invaluable introductory essay that interprets the intertextual and intercultural connections within and beyond Mantegazza's work. For its critical contribution to early science fiction and for its insights into the hopes, fears, and clash of values in the Western world of both Mantegazza's time and our own, this book belongs among the visionary giants of speculative literature.Binding Type: Paperback

challenging and inspiring
Format: Kindle
I trudged my way through sections of this that seemed overly legalistic, but all in all, another inspiring text from saints whose sole desire was to be united with God, to find their all in Christ, and to become more and more like him through his suffering, death, and resurrection.

This makes Scripture so easy to understand.
Format: Hardcover
If I have any complaints about this study Bible, it's that it doesn't have a large print edition. I do have The Amplified Bible (not a study edition) in large print; therefore, I have the option to read the large print and then refer to the study Bible for the explanations. This is a fantastic study Bible for beginners as well as us seasoned vets in Christianity. A clarification: The print in the study Bible isn't tiny; it's more of a 9-point, comfort font. There are footnotes at the bottom of each page; however, Scriptures are clarified right in the text, making for seamless reading with no interruptions. At the back of the Bible, there are maps in color; theological notes index by title, and the most complete Topical Index (aka concordance) I've ever seen. I have owned and still own many study Bibles; but I am most impressed with this one. If you are a KJV-only believer, I highly recommend having this one handy to help you understand the KJV and/or NKJV even better. My strict KJV-only pastor even recommends The Amplified Study Bible to new believers and to us older ones, too. Complex spiritual matters are well explained. I highly recommend this for everyone, no matter where you are in your spiritual journey!
