This Mysterious Book From Netflix's 'Dark' Has Roots In Real Literature

Some spoilers for Netflix's Dark ahead.

Even though Netflix's new German original series, Dark, is drawing some Stranger Things comparisons, there are a lot of important differences between the two shows. Though Dark has the same delightfully creepy sci-fi vibe that makes Stranger Things so bingeable, its complex plot shines under its own merit. One of the show's key characters is a watchmaker named H.G. Tannhaus, who builds a working time machine and then later writes a book about it, which a few characters are seen reading. So, is H.G. Tannhaus' A Journey Through Time from Dark a real book?

In the 1953 timeline, Winden's watchmaker receives the blueprints for the time machine mechanism from Claudia. It is only later in his life — presumably in the 1986 timeline — that he sits down to write A Journey Through Time , which we see Helge give to Claudia as a gift when she starts her new job at the nuclear plant in 1986. At some point during the writing of the book, we can assume that Tannhaus realizes that Winden is stuck in a time loop , because he starts cryptically telling people things like, "The past doesn't just influence the future, the future also influences the past," and "It's like the question of the chicken and the egg. We can no longer say which of the two came first. Everything is interconnected."

Since H.G. Tannhaus likely isn't a real person , we can safely assume that A Journey Through Time is not a actual book. However, just as the character of H.G. Tannhaus is likely based on a few key historical references, we can surmise, then, that A Journey Through Time is meant to remind us of a few actual works of literature.

One of those was written by H.G. Wells, who, in addition to sharing two initials with the clockmaker, also famously wrote a novella called The Time Machine , which follows a character simply named the Time Traveler who goes on occasionally harrowing adventures into the future and the past; he later disappears and his fate is left open-ended . Wells is commonly credited with coining the concept of a vessel called a time machine , which could allow for passage backwards and forwards through time.

A Journey Through Time is definitely not a published book that actually exists as a manual for time travel in real life. After all, there can't yet be a book about the subject or methods involved in actually traveling through time, because science has not actually figured this whole thing out just yet. However, there is a work of fiction not unlike that of H.G. Wells that deals with what might happen should time travel become possible. Time and Again by Jack Finney tells the tale of a 20th century fellow who is transported back to New York City in 1882. The whole thing treats time travel as a method of transportation or to carry messages between times, which us almost what it becomes in Dark . This book, along with Wells' The Time Machine, was named one of the Top 10 Time Travel books by Huffington Post .

By all accounts, the bespectacled and quirky H.G. Tannhaus is unfortunately not a real person and A Journey Through Time is sadly not a real manual for a working time machine, but he and his ideas certainly seem to have been inspired, at least partially, by some real figures who dabbled in the notions of time travel. Whether it's fiction or a nod to some real possibilities, the conversation surrounding time travel remains alive. If the subject even slightly interests you, Netflix's Dark , whose first season is now streaming, is a fascinating and thrilling ride to take.

A Journey Through Time

• View history

A Journey Through Time (German: Eine Reise durch die Zeit )   is a book written by H.G. Tannhaus some time betweeen 1953 and 1986, published by Mino Taurus . It is a scientific study on time and explores things like time travel , the sun-moon cycle and the nature of wormholes . It is first introduced in " Lies " when the stranger comes into the room after the shower and looks at the book on which lies a strange key.

It is shown many times during the show and serves the purpose of catalyzying a character's interest in time travel. It's also a narration device, the book's synopsis is the monologue by Tannhaus at the beginning of the first episode, and it also contains theories surrounding time travel that apply to the story.

On the front cover of the book, there is an upside down Penrose Triangle. On the back cover of the book, a following blurb is written:

" Wir vertrauen auf den linearen, ewig gleichförmigen Verlauf der Zeit - bis in die Unendlichkeit. Aber die Unterscheidung zwischen Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft ist nichts als eine Illusion ."

(English translation: "We trust in the linear, forever the same shape of the past, until eternity. But the diffrences between the past, presence and future are nothing illusion.")

was published on April 19th, 2020. ISBN: 9781716041020, 1716041023. The English version of the book is poorly translated.

A Journey through Anglo-American Literature

A word study concerning "fag/fah" in Old English as it is found within the corpus and particularly its usage within Beowulf. Presented at Vagantes Graduate Student Conference 2009.

Ana Rita Martins

Hwaet! (Listen!) The feats of Geatish hero Beowulf in days gone by are well-known to modern audiences. His fight with man-eating Grendel is epic as is his battle with the monster's mother and the terrifying dragon. During the 20th and the 21st century, the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf (by an unknown author) has been a source of interest and debate among academics from different fields. This paper will aim at analyzing the idea of the medieval monster. As a starting point, concepts of monstrosity will be looked at as well as the features that define a monster both in the Middle Ages and today. Grendel is the main point of interest for this study as it considers how these ideas are reflected within this character. To do so, "Beowulf at the Movies" also analyzes the description of Grendel both in the Old English poem and in three selected movies. Are there differences between the character's portrayal in the poem and the cinematic adaptations? To what extent has cinema reinvented monstrosity in Beowulf? How does this reflect our modern day view of humanity or the beast within? To answer the preceding questions, this paper will focus on three main movies: Beowulf (1998) by Yuri Kulakov, Beowulf and Grendel (2005) BY Sturla Gunnarsson and Beowulf (2007) by director Robert Zemeckis. These adaptations are of interest for they shed a new light on Beowulf's monster, Grendel, and its hero. Other relevant works will also be taken in consideration as well as cultural and historical factors.

Neophilologus

In this article I consider the debate over whether line 1520b ought to be read as the emended “hond sweng” or the scribal “hord swenge.” It is a small point philologically but it raises interesting cultural and literary questions about the attitude of the Beowulf poet to arms and armour, to aggressive and defensive war gear, and to swords in particular. It has widely been assumed that swords are important in Beowulf and yet, the question of what their significance might be has received very little attention. Throughout the poem the hero is plagued by breaking, melting, and failing swords. He borrows, finds, and is given swords but unlike other English and Germanic heroes he is never identified with a single, great sword. I suggest that this is because, ultimately, Beowulf is conceived as a hondbana, a designation which has implications for what kind of a hero he proves to be.

In Beowulf there is public gold, personal gold and the hidden gold which can send its owner to hell. King Hrothgar gives Beowulf more of the first kind in order to withhold from him the second, so helping him to the third. The poet points particularly to King Beowulf’s damnation. Because the dead king is his theme, and because ignorance of Christ defines the difference between Beowulf’s polity and his own, the poet makes Beowulf the best of his bygone world and then shows how gold will destroy him.

Michele Civita

Primarily known as an Oxford professor and philologist, Tolkien was far more than just the writer of two fantasy books (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings) and few academic essays as one can normally expect: Tolkien became a landmark of English literature and a critical point for the spread of the literary genre of fantasy.

Although 'Beowulf' can be read as a teleological narrative culminating in the death of the hero, it also is a poem in which ends are intertwined with beginnings. The narrative advances through concentric nodes by which moments of exceptional tension are nested within episodes of lesser intensity. These formal symmetries serve to enhance the poem's myth-like effects, particularly at the poem's structural midpoint, the hero's fight against Grendel's monstrous mother in the depths of her uncanny pool. The consistency with which thesis is answered by antithesis in the design of Beowulf seems to be a special characteristic of the poet's style and way of viewing the world. Seldom are events seen as isolated, without antecedents or consequences. Often joy is answered by sorrow in a network of reversals that undercuts confidence in the permanence of earthly success.

This study investigated the prevalence of haemoparasites of small ruminants reared under semi-intensive system in Gwagwalada Area Council, FCT Abuja, Nigeria. Blood samples were collected from 200 animals; 100 goats and 100 sheep, and were examined for haemoparasites. The results showed that out of the 200 animals examined, 40(20%) of the animals were infected with blood parasites. Of these infected animals, 19(47.5%) were goats, while 21(52.5) were sheep.Anaplama species recorded the highest prevalence rate of 10.5% in both sheep and goats. This was followed by Thelieria species 9.5% andEperythrozoon specie andBabesia specie had aprevelance of 0% each. The prevalence of the infection was higher in older animals (22.57%) than younger ones, which was (17.5%). The prevalence was also slighly higher in female animals (23.64%) than in male which is 15.55%, prevalence of haemoparasitic infection also varied with the different breeds of goats and sheep, among the breed of goats West Afric...
