Time Travel

We studied and made research with sam about different themes of travel literature. There are many themes such as Contemporary Nature Writing, Urban travel writing, Time travel and Road trips.


I'm interested in Time Travel, so I made a small research about it, with regard to its definition, names of famous books and theirs authors and finally a small brief on the film (Total Recall).

Firstly, Time travel's definition which is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space, either sending objects backwards in time to some moment before the present, or sending objects forward from the present to the future without the need to experience the intervening period.


Secondly, there are several famous books, but I choose the bestseller of them (I'll mention just the name of book and its author), which are:


DarkFever





It was written by Karen Marie Moning.

Outlander

It was written by Diana Gabaldon.

Dragonfly in Amber

It was written also by Diana Gabaldon.

Finally, (Total Recall) it's a science fiction film that based on a book, which was written by Philip K. Dick. The film was directed by Paul Verhoeven. It's When a man goes for virtual vacation memories of the planet Mars, an unexpected and harrowing series of events forces him to go to the planet for real, or does he?

What is reality when you can't trust your memory? An Earthbound construction worker keeps having dreams about Mars. A trip to a false memory transplant service for an imaginary trip to Mars goes terribly wrong and another personality surfaces. When his old self returns, he finds groups of his friends and several strangers seem to have orders to kill him. He finds records his other self left him that tell him to get to Mars to join up with the underground. The reality of the situation is constantly in question. Who is he? Which personality is correct? Which version of reality is true?


This film was Nominated for 2 Oscars. Another 5 wins & 13 nominations.

It seems that I made a link between what I learnt in Media Class and Literature Class lols. (^o^)
