Steampunk
Transcript: Alternative world Herbert G. Wells 20th century There will be a major character who is a scientist or inventor; The story must involve scientific innovation as a major plot point; The Steampunk genre tends to utilize real-life Victorian notables as characters or cameos; The Steampunk genre tends to ‘borrow’ characters from Victorian and Edwardian fiction, such as Sherlock Holmes; Steampunk settings are industrial; and may be borrowed from Victorian or Edwardian fiction; The Steampunk genre tends to mimic Victorian literary style and language; Many incorporate ‘fantasy’ elements like magic; Mash-ups are a popular literary device. "Not exactly a novel, not quite a picture book, not really a graphic novel, or a flip book or a movie, but a combination of all these things", says the author. The book consists of illustrations almost in a half. The reason is that the book's about old movies and inventions, about creating a wind-up doll and about a genius filmmaker who needs a little miracle to believe that his films are admired and his work is still appreciated.

The action happens after the European industrial revolution. Alchemy there is one of the most advanced scientific techniques and a sort of weapon too. Two brothers try to bring their mother back to life using alchemy, but they fail and one of them loses leg and hand and the other loses all his body and then lives in metal body. Boys start to search the Philosopher Stone to recover their bodies. Homunculi, intrigues, fights, adult world for little children who had to become adults to survive - everything's there.a Jules Werne Authors "Fullmetal Alchemist" by Hiromu Aracawa Don’t let the inclusion of the word ‘punk’ confuse you, Steampunk is NOT a part of the capital letter Punk movement of the Seventies. "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Selznick "Stardust" by Neil Gaiman "Heart of Veridon" by Tim Akers This book tells that anything's as simple as it seems and good may turn to be evil. At its core, steampunk uses steam power as the jumping off point to attempt to create some of the advances we have today through various means. Computers, rocket ships and robots have made appearances in their steam-driven or alternative-technology forms at various times and there’s always room for more inspired adaptations. Some of the literary inspiration for steampunk comes from: Man with himself (Lyra and her willing to be loved, Lyra and her guilt) Man with society (Lyra's tryings to ruin plans that can change the world) "Dracula" How it could be described? Faerie Market is held every nine years behind the wall that divides Faerie from our world. It's about a boy who is the son of two worlds, who meets fallen star - a girl. It's about searching a heir of the king of Faerie and bringing the Star back home, at the sky. About true love and true values. Sky ships, witches, crazy heirs, imprisoned princess - it's a fairytale, but it's worth reading. Conflict Steampunk settings "The Time Machine" Victorian Bram Stocker American West "Northern Lights" main characters Some people claim Jules Verne and Herbert Wells are Steampunk authors, but they not, as such, because they were writing Science Fiction for their era. STEAMPUNK It’s a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where STEAM POWER is still widely used — usually the 19th century — but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. How do we classify the genre? Slogan "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner". and “It’s sort of Victorian-industrial, but with more whimsy and fewer orphans”. Caitlin Kittredge By-the-bye Lyra's willing to know who she is. Daemons reflect person's soul and she has no concrete form of daemon (animal), it changes. That means she's in process of knowing herself, she can choose between evil and good. The book shows the problem of choice when right choice is painful. Here we have Veridon - the world of people who are not people in the full sense. They have some mechanic upgrade and our main hero - a Pilot - has heart and lungs from metal. Veridon is also a conflicted city between the old aristocracy, the new rich, and the Church of the Algorithm
