The New Eden
In the 19th century, a wealthy man arranges a scientific experiment involving two human beings—one male, one female—placed in their own modern-day Garden of Eden. The purpose of the experiment is to watch their evolution... or something. "Adam" is on one tropical island, "Eve" on another, and they have no notion that any other humans exist anywhere in the universe. By chance Adam sees the smoke from Eve's cooking fire and manages to travel to her island and meet her, giving the reader much thoughtful insight into what it must have been like for the original Adam and Eve.
Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne (11 May 1866–10 March 1944), who also published under the pen name Weatherby Chesney, was an English novelist best remembered today as the author of The Lost Continent: The Story of Atlantis, a science fiction classic.
Preparing old books for digital publication is a labor of love at Travelyn Publishing. We hold our digital versions of public domain books up against any others with no fear of the comparison. Our conversion work is meticulous, utilizing a process designed to eliminate errors, maximize reader enjoyment, and recreate as much as possible the atmosphere of the original book even as we are adding the navigation and formatting necessary for a good digital book. While remaining faithful to a writer's original words, and the spellings and usages of his era, we are not above correcting obvious mistakes. If the printer became distracted after placing an 'a' at the end of a line and then placed another 'a' at the beginning of the next line (they used to do this stuff by hand you know!), what sort of mindless robots would allow that careless error to be preserved for all eternity in the digital version, too? Not us. That's why we have the audacity to claim that our re-publications are often better than the originals.
