Bøker av Ingersoll Lockwood

Complete and unabridged with all original illustrations.The Collected Works of Ingersoll Lockwood: The Baron Trump Novels & 1900; Or, The Last President, have seen a resurgence in interest since Donald Trump's election to President of the United States in 2016. All of these titles were written before the turn of the 20th Century, but both contain eerie similarities with modern day political events. For the first time, all the works are presented in a single volume so readers can decipher for themselves whether Lockwood's words were a telling of things to come, or just a curious coincidence of American literature.In the 1890s, Ingersoll Lockwood authored a series of children's books about the escapades of his character, the young Baron Trump: Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and his Wonderful Dog Bulger, and Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey. The series followed a literary trend of the time, which had child protagonists adventuring to enchanted lands and encountering fantastic beings. Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, and L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz are two famous examples of this genre.Lockwood's Baron is an aristocratic youth bored with his life of luxury in Castle Trump. Searching for adventure, Baron travels to Russia to discover an underground world beneath his feet. He journeys downward and finds himself lost in peculiar settings surrounded by the strange inhabitants of this new world. The stories follow his adventures and eventual struggle to find his way back to the surface he left behind.The Baron Trump novels were obscured by the more successful children's books of the time. Lockwood's tall tales seemed destined for the literary dust bin, but the election of Donald Trump in 2016 renewed interest in these works due to the President's youngest son's name: Barron Trump. Now, back in print, the Baron Trump series is enjoying considerable interest and success.In 1900; Or, The Last President, Ingersoll Lockwood paints a picture of a politically charged New York City, where a political outsider has overcome stiff opposition to be elected President of the United States. Mob rule threatens, and marching protests rove up and down Fifth Avenue. The scene is an uncanny reflection of what happened as Donald Trump spent his days as President Elect holed up in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue as he awaited his inauguration.

"…A well written interesting children's book, but its adventures are so wonderful and so quaintly told that many a parent who would buy the book as a Christmas present for his children would be beguiled into reading it for his own amusement…" -Sacramento Bee, 1890sBaron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey by INGERSOLL LOCKWOOD, with illustrations by Charles Howard Johnson, is a mixture of travel adventure, science fiction, and fantasy. Published in 1893, it became one of Lockwood's most popular works together with his other children's book The Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger, published in 1890. In 2017, when almost all the news deals with the Trump presidency, The Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump drew attention due to its uncanny connections with President Trump and his family. The book's main character, Baron Trump, is a wealthy boy with abnormal strength living in Castle Trump, and just like President Donald Trump, is of German heritage. What makes the story even more remarkable is that Baron Trump is guided by "the master of all masters," a man named "Don," to start his voyage to Russia. Even stranger, in Lockwood's final novel, The Last President (1896), New York City fears the collapse of the republic in 1900 after the transition of presidential power and Americans protest a corrupt election process. Are these books a bizarre coincidence or are they prophetic? Let the reader decide.

From the author who told us about Baron Trump, comes another tale, this one lamenting the Democrat Party's "socialist" platform of 1896, and warning that the election of "Bryan" would be the last election for president..

More than 100 years ago, Ingersoll Lockwood told the tale of Baron Trump's quest for a 'world within a world.' A children's fantasy book? Or uncanny prophecy?

This little booklet was penned at the end of the 19th century, and ostensibly involves events mere years later. A work of political satire, it chastises the rise of socialism and populism, inferring their fictional rise here as disastrous and leading to chaos.It is of note here that this work, along with others by Lockwood, appear to prognosticate the current political climate of the United States and West at large- and for an apparent religious Catholic of his era, it is not altogether impossible that Lockwood- wittingly or unwittingly- tapped into some mystic forces. Regardless, it is an interesting little political story from its time and is reflective of some of the social ideologies and movements of the age.

Diese hundertzwanzigjährige Prophezeiung ist wirklich unheimlich. Zu ähnlich unserer Gegenwart, dem US-Präsident Trump, dass man es schon als Beweis dafür ansehen kann, dass es Zeitreisen gibt.Der Autor und Rechtsanwalt Ingersoll Lockwood schrieb 1896 einen Roman, der den Aufstieg eines Außenseiterkandidaten für die US-Präsidentschaft voraussagte.Er erzählt von einem populistischen Kandidaten, der mit dem Programm gewählt wurde, um "die schlechten Deals des Landes rückgängig zu machen".Hier die Parallelen des Romans mit der gegenwärtigen US-Regierung: Es spielt in New York Unmittelbar nach Bekanntgabe des Wahlergebnisses kommt es zu Demonstrationen und gewalttätigen Unruhen. Diese Mobs drängten sich an die Stelle, wo die aktuellen Trump Towers stehen (5th Avenue in New York), wurden aber von den Streitkräften gestoppt. (Der Frauenmarsch begann auf der Ostseite und wurde durch Polizeibarrikaden daran gehindert, Trump International zu erreichen. Der neue Präsident hat die volle Unterstützung des Kongresses und "zwischen ihm und der Verwirklichung dieser Pläne gibt es nichts". Die Mehrheit der Stimmen kam aus dem Süden der USA, was den Norden beunruhigte. (d.h. Red States Vs. Blue.) Der Oberste Gerichtshof besteht aus vielen Mitgliedern im fortgeschrittenen Alter und eröffnet damit die Möglichkeit, offene Stellen neu zu besetzen. Der Tag der Einweihung in das Präsidentenamt war stark bewölkt. Es gab sogar einen "Mr. Pence" in seinem Kabinett. Der Senat "nahm nun einen Geist der extremen Bitterkeit an...." Der Präsident kündigte an, dass er die "schweren und unrechtmäßigen Bürden" der vorangegangenen Kongress- & Regierungsbeschlüsse rückgängig machen werde. Es ist ein Kampf gegen die Übermacht der Internationalen BankiersDiese großen Ähnlichkeiten zwischen Fiktion und aktuellem Geschehen gehen weit über die Möglichkeiten eines Zufalls hinaus. Wie kann das nur sein?Die anderen Bücher, für die Lockwood bekannt war, hatten sogar einen Baron Trump als Helden. Deswegen gehört auch dieser Roman in die Baron Trump Serie, nicht zu verwechseln mit Barron Trump, den jüngsten Sohn von DJT.
