The People of the Ruins is a dystopian novel written by Edward Shanks. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world where civilization has collapsed due to a devastating war. The protagonist, a man named Julian, is a member of a small community that has managed to survive in the ruins of a city. The community is faced with numerous challenges, including scarce resources, harsh living conditions, and the constant threat of raiders and other dangers. Julian becomes increasingly disillusioned with the community’s leader, who is more concerned with maintaining his own power than with the well-being of the people. As Julian begins to question the status quo, he embarks on a journey to find other survivors and hopefully find a way to rebuild civilization. Along the way, he encounters various groups of people who have adapted to the new world in different ways. The People of the Ruins is a thought-provoking novel that explores themes of power, leadership, and the human condition in extreme circumstances. It is a gripping tale of survival and resilience in the face of adversity.Well, first of all, my hand went queer. It was a sort of dead, numb feeling, spreading into the arm above the wrist, and I was scared, I can tell you. I was almost certain that these were new rays, and I hadn’t the least notion what effect they might have on living tissue. The numbness kept on all day, with a sort of tingling in the finger-tips, and I went to bed in a bit of a panic. And when I woke, the radium burn had quite gone, leaving a little scar behind, and the cut had begun to heal. It was very nearly healed!''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
