Prologue (?)

 Prologue(?)

The scenes of this story as its title indicates, lies among the nations of an unknown and imaginary world or countries, with our earth as their moon, though there are two big islands belonging to Glandelinia that well form the shapes of our lands. The names of these nations are Angelinia, Abyssinkile, Protestentia, and Abbieannia four great Catholic nations, there being no protestant nations. Other Catholic nations but rivals of Glandelinia also are, Mormoni[uk;d]a, Hickenile, Hickencilo, Condonnoneda, Glandlina, Spoonnin, Croetorin, Madorria, Claresinin, and Pruetinia.

Next to Abbieannia Glandelinia is the most powerful of them all, and three quarters of the population are as wicked as wickedness can be. There are scores of other nations, but their names are not given. The two nations Glandelinia, and Abbieannia, alone have this story hundreds of thrillions of men, many thrillions of women, and children. The names of the Oceans are the same as the nations…..

THIS imaginary planet is a thousand times as large as our own world and the largest body of water known as the Anelinian seas, could hold scores of our own worlds, and still have room. Its near neighbor and the next largest ocean called the Mo-Whirthian seas, but which is the Protestentinn Ocean, on account of its heat waves sweeping into the cool Angelinian seas and drawing down upon its waters the colder atmosphers of the Calverinian winters, is a most dangerous and fatal oceans, for typhoons which carry all before them, even in swooping the land, occur so frequently that no one dares travel on it during the typhoon seasons. The Angelinian seas also have frequently severe typhoons which havocs everything in an instant. Governer Hanson, and his brother Gover RobertAngelic Vivian, with their two wives, brothers, and the little Vivian Girls, are the main ones related in this story. The beautiful children are so pretty that I could never be described .Before and during the war as we will see as we proceed, these brave little girls passed through indescribable horrors, but their imprisonment at Calverine, and Andrean, was the worse suffering which they experienced before the outbreak of the great war.

In this story of more than fourty three years, child slavery existed in the Calverinian country. Hundreds of thousands of children, torn from their parents were thrown into horrible factories, made to work themselves to death without getting a cent, and horrors upon horrors almost equaled that of perdition.

Abbieannia made four attempts to breat this evil in waging four wars with Glandelinia and though successful in the war did not completely samp out this dreadful canker eating at the heart of the wicked nation. Before the Glandco-Angelinian war broke out Abbieannia had threated to strike down Glandelinian a nation with one deliberate war, but other nations mediated until the danger of struggling with the foe was averted for only two weeks and then bang, bang, as Angelinia drover herself despite all mediators.

The fifth war, the War of 1841 was so successful for Abbieannia, that she succeeded in freeing the Calerinian nation from the powers of Glandelinia, but failed to have the desired effects of the child slave horrors. Smaller nations not named had been overthrown by Gladelinia, millions of children alone had been carried off, and for fourty years, the poor children had lain bound and bleeding in those Glandelinian child slave prisons of horror, imploring for the help from bondage seemingly in vain.

No slavery had been as cruel and shocking as this, and Angelinia herself looked on in horror, but as long as Hanson or his brother did not make any move that threatened war with Glandelinia, nothing could be done. During the bloodiest war of eighteen fourty three, the Calverinian country succeeded to Angelinai, and Abbieannia, and this brought the first serious trouble between Glanelinia and Abbieannia, which led to the destruction of the ship loaded with children, and the Kings Wife and daughter and which cause the Kings death when he heard the news. At the same time Abyssinkile had desired to make a junction with Angelinia, and at this news Glandelinia went mad, and struck a blow against Abyssinkile, but Abbieannia in the war of eighteen fourty one put a stop to her folly.

Only two years later after the great war was over, the child slavery which ahd only slackened, only was renewed and expanded so rapidly that the Z[uk]annia councils rushed orders for the crushing of that worse of evils and so war was declared, and Calverinia invaded, the foe driven out, and their own [uk; country?] invaded by the Abbieannians, and the wicked nation brought to her knees. Some of the most terrible things in the first part of the story are the raveages caused by the Glandco-Angelinain war, and by typhoons of great and destructive force. Great heat waves moving northward corss the Calverinian country, and also the cool angelinian seas, and as it sweeps into the atmosphere of the Angelinian seas, the hot tropical sun causes the lower layers of air to expand while lifting the upper layers like a great gaseous shoot at the same time. The lifted gas then spreads uniformly, outward in all directions, this causing the heated areas to become one of low pressure, while the surrounding area has its pressure increased.

An ascent of air from the limited area causes an uprush which forces a local chimney through the upper stratum it contains, becomes condensed thus liberating as heat, a large amount of energy, which has been previously stored up in the process of evaporation. In turn, this still rarifies the ascending current so that the draught is [uk; strengthened?].

Warm vapor laden air blows in from all sides at the bottom to supply the partial vacuum, and the current in moving at the center and rush past one another produce a whirling motion, which is increased by the additional new volumes of light air, which is condensed into clouds. These spread outward in the upper regions, and the central area becomes quickly through [uk;some?] mysterious cause one [uk;immense?] suction, which increases in violence, the motion, becoming more spiral, boing now more than overcome, by suction into the great roaring vortex. Motion around the center develops stronger vacuum with the greatest violence in its immense stem of thousand mile funnel, which the layers of clouds spread far from the whirling storm brings upon the

Other [uk] when they become more violent their center is but a few rods in width and so rage like the tornado carrying all before them. In this period their fury is unaccountable and their force is the greatest at the beginning. Their approach is similar to that of a thunderstorm but the clouds are more freakish and more denser, and the storm occasionally displays whirling funnels. They are generally mistaken as hurricanes, but the Angelinian hurricans are very slight, and only wreck weak structures. Typhoons of those kind are considered as vioent gyratorals which may have lost its greater force as they generally strike the Calverinian shores and Angelinian coast in the east. Of the main description concerning the so called poovish typhoons is well to be related.  

They are really of different varities, and many varities. One general varity known as the Spirian Tearian has three varities. One varity which is temporarily wild in fury occurs only in the months of July and August and this is the first varity which blows in a similar way like the hurricane but are far more violent and not quite so long. These hurricane like storms are not so long, but the worse kind which are described during and before the war are worth noting.

One of the most noted is the terrific typhoon at Jennie Wron Town before the battle occurred there. Never have these storms got anything called lulls. The first storm in the chapter one was also one of those kind, and the great typhoon that shipwrecked governer Hanson and the rest at Calverine was one of these storms, and another tore the city of Evangelistia sometime before the Glandco-Angelinian war, [uk] one that swept the Angelinian coast late in the summer season of eighteen seventy two. The most violent of these had swept Jennie Wren Town and other cities, and another great one occurred during the later Easter Season of Eightenn Fourty.

There are three reasons why these typhoons got such names. As they are gyratoral in motion all three of the varities are exceedingly violent and vehement in force, and make such an indescribable clamor that nothing else can be heard. The second reason si because they make such an angry roar in its approach. The third reason is because of its sudden outburst. The first varitiez are generally called hurricanes by the Angelinians though that is not their proper name. Their character is notably different, their force much greater, and their approach swift and clamourious like the tornado.

At the advancing side of these typhoons the thunder lightning and rainfall is peculiarly violent, but at the rear portions of the storm the rainfall is very violent thougth there is very little thunder and lightning, and floods usually follow. These storms generally occur in the typohoon seasons which is in the month of September, to April an May, though they have been known to appear in the other months as well. But in the months named they are unusually, and frequently more violent than ever imagined.

The first variety is generally called the Sirocannian Typhoon. The second varity generally occurs from the month of October to April, but are more frequent in October, than in any of the other months. Their velocity is never accurately known. They are exceedingly destructive and extremely wild, the Salablanian typhoons are a good deal bo[r]ing in resemblance.

They advance like the tornado making a roar heard for miles in its approach. The rush of the conflicting [uk] is something terrific, the violence of the wind carrying all before it. The thunder and lightening is similarly violent throughout the whole storm, and make raging floods. This storm is generally called the Spirian Tearian typhoon. The third varity is the form like the tornado. But however they the wildest. The force of such a storm cannot be described. They are completely gyratoral in mortion, and advance in more straight courses than the other to warities. Their duration is seldom more than two hours and their velocity is generally unaccountable, moving at a rate contrary to the tremendous whirling velocity. Their fury at these times can change the region sept by them into a general wind h[a/e]ll, and terrific are the circumstance that follow in tis wake. By the Angelinians they are called the Demonedanian TYPHOONS! By the Abbieannians athe Salabalanian Tornadoes.

Jennie Wren Town was predicted struck by one of these during the last day of March Eightenn Fourty One, which slew three hundred thousand people, and destroyed property valued at three hundred million dollars alone in that city, and its surrounding districts. It gave not the slightest warning, and its roar was only heard within grasp of the already doomed city. Hundreds of towns and cities were wrecked the coast as the Island of Hickencilo, and the main land of Calverinian suffering the greates, as there incapable [uk] for [uk; damage was done of?] two thousand five hundred miles, and cities and towns by hundreds were demolished beyond repair [uk]

The rate was never known though many velieved that it traveled thirty three thousand six hundred miles in fourteen horus. This was much disputed. ISt took nearly fourty years to repair the damage donw, and was worse tof all it tore across a good portion of Abbieannia committing damage that was not repaired yet was far as the Glandco Angelinian war itself. It tore across a portion of Abbieannia and Concentinian country at the same time it being Easter Sunday of Eighteen Fourty one, where it destroyed three hundred billions of dollars worth of property, and killing and wounding three million people.

This is one of the first greates calamities that occurred before the great Angelinian Agathia disaster which als sote Abbieannia before she barely recovered from the other disaster. Its origin was considered as gyratoral like the Abbieannian storm of August the Third, but its velocity was never learened also. In the Abbieannian state Tripoligonlia which had been swept along its eastern coast, hndreds of toys and cities were completely wrecked and destroyed, and the death list was considered as nin hundred thousand. This disaster also occurred on an Easter Sunday. Two months after the disaster it was found that seven million people had lost their lives in these three Abbieannian states.

Abbieannia had been the scene of many terrific typhoons, but the greatest one occurring on Easter Sunday in eighteen Eighty nine cause the greatest damage. Concentinia was the center of all the woeful misery and distress, it being stated that seven thousand cities towns and villages had been destroyed in this nation along the eastern coast. This was only the second time that Abbieannia had suffered such a visitation for a similar typhoon of Eighty Eighteen Eighty nine but in the fall, had occurred along the western coast which killed nine million people and destroyed six thousand cities and towns. Recently violent Terrocian Typhoons that had been vastly destructive to property and lives in addition of that in Abbieannia occurred two years before the Angelinia Agathia disaster while the whole Mc-Whirthian sea was in a very cyclonic condition! One was the type typhoon of June 23th which swept southern Domdobia and Tripolingolia, and corssing the innermost coast of Calverinia, killing about three million, three hundred thousand people, and destroying tow hundred cities, and hundreds of villages and large towns.

Another in August of the same year which tore across the coast of Protestentia killing five hundred thousand, and destroying three hundred towns and cities. Again the whole of Protestentia was swept the year later in the same month, by a gyratoral typhoon of the Third varity, which destroyed five million people, and caused so much damage that Abbieannia and other nations had to go to the aid of the severely [uk; smitten?] nation. Mormonuia the same month was swept by a hellish Terrocian typhoon which tore across her southern and western coast and screaming like a sea filled with demons, destroying thousands of cities, and towns, and prostrating whole forests, with a loss of life that was unaccountable, or never accurately estimated, though sixteen million, and thirty million injured had been extracted within two weeks after the frightful disaster.

How many dead there were was never known though 11,899,888 were found within the two weeks. The force of the storm prostrated millions of trees, a thousand fee high, and fourteen hundred feet in circumstance circumferences, and raised waves along the coast that swept fourteen miles inland. The next year the year of the Angelinia Agathias disaster in the month of March [uk]ickencile was again visited by a strange and most peculiar typhoon never listed among the named storms of such varities ever known. But though a strange storm, its force was something terrible, and made an unsolved toll of lives and property loss of sixty million dollars. The cause of such a kind of typhoons are never known though it is stated that the easter Mc-Whirthian seas may be responsible on account of the hot atmosphere over its surface.

South or northerly winds from the Angelinian seas west of [uk]ickencile generally drive these extensive hot waves across the easter Mc-Whirthian seas with great speed, whose opposing currents of winds from the cooler Calverinian seas, and from the winter regions of Calverinia and Angelinia generally starts these terrific and destructive storms which travels northeastward and annihilates all before it. These strange and terrific typhoons generally form in the extreme southern regions seventy thousand miles southwest of the group of the great Mengiglomenean islands, and some of the fiercest further south or north also crossing the regions of Abbieannia and Concentinian shores.

There are eight others of the Spirian Tearian typhoons. Snobannia typhoons of miled force called gales, which move in any course, and do little or no damage. They probably form at small distances and have a short way to travel, and do not have much force. Their velocity is about eighty miles an hour at its worse. The Werranian Typhoons traveling across the southern and middle regions of the Mc-Whirthian seas seldom hit the shores, and to the great fortune of the nations at that.

They have four varities, Spirial, Gyratoral, Demonodanian and Spirian Tearian. The last two as previously mentioned are wild and dangerous, and woe to nations afflicted by them. The Spirian Tearian and Demonodanian are alike in their force, but the Spirian Tearian at times exceeds them all. The third varity is called Sucannenian much like the Yellow death that struck Hinkencile. Their path is one thousand miles, and their force is gradual but dangerous. They are much dreaded by the sailors, but these storms nevertheless eldom hit the shores of the mainland. If they did people whould have to live in caves and not built houses. The fourth varity sweepts in the region called the Devils Blow Hole and are called the Banbobocian Typhoon.

That they are real terrocians but four days duration and these wind storms known as the black death generally become Spirian Tearian. They are very extensive their distance being far however so far that they have never been known to hit the shore. But the hellish destruction witnessed by sailors on islands, and by the inhabitants give reason for these storms to be dreaded. They are the longest storms for their duration, and are the wildest typhoons known, and no tornado can every equal their speed or violence.

The fifth varity much like the fourth though still, longer in duration are not much dreaded as they never hit the land or shore line, but they are feared by the sailors, and no ships sail out during the season of these storms. They are called the Lin/lenian typhoon. The sixth varity also much alike the fourth in called the Milldirian Typhoon. Their volicity is not known but nevertheless they call [uk; carty?] all before it. Their path is often five hundred miles wind. Chamberlane and Ophelia got one of these during the month of December on the first day. Their onrush is most swift and terrific, and comes without the slightest warning despite the deafening clamor in its approach.

The seventh varity is called the Virthroceniann Typhoon. Their cause is very mysterious but their character is much like the Spirian Tearian though of longer duration generally raging for three to five days. They are peculiar typhoons and are similar to the fourth varity as their approach is makred by intense blackness of clouds marked at intervals by tremendous [uk;lurid?] lights known as typhoon lights.

Their occurance is very rare along the coast, but frequent out at sea, and form only when the heat waves of are of a years duration. Their formations are generally at the devils blow hole and their path is often eleven thousand miles and their regular force is unkown. They alone do not start with gradual fury. They may be [uk; insidious?] Spirian Tearian Typhoons of exceedingly great violence as they are clamorous in their approach. They approach frequently on a hot afternoon in all months of the summer.

Over the continuance of the horrid child slavery after Banson and Governer Vivian had presided in Calverinia for that space of time after their children had been about seven years old of the eldest and six to five of the youngest the war had broken out and was raging with some considerable fury along the boundary line of Angelinia and Glndelinia. Glandelinian armies had tried to pass through Crowley and Jennie Wren town to stop a rebellion of children then going on in Calverinia and considering it an invasion the Christian armies down there had opposed the Glandelinians furiously. The war had raged for considerable months beginning really in 1911 but the general [uk;may?] of the struggle did not start until March 31th 1912.

Introduction

 Volume One, Introduction 


THE STORY OF THE BRAVERY OF THE

VIVIAN GIRLS, CALLED VIOLET, AND HER SISTERS, IN

THE REIGN OF TERROR, OR THE GREAT GLANDGO-ANGELINIAN WAR….

 

INTRODUCTION:

This description of the great war, and its following results, is perhaps the greatest ever written by an author, on the line of any fabulous war, that could ever be intitled, with such a name. The war lasted about [uk] years and seven months in this story and the author of this book has taken over eleven years in writing out the long and graphic details, and has fought on from day, to day, in order to win for the Christians inside this long and bloody war, and though the Christians had been threatened with defeat, on account of a strange Aronburg mystery which could not be solved by anyone, not even myself, they finally won when they turned the tide against the enemy at the frightful battle of Aronburge Run.

The Aronburg mystery as well as the murder of the Aronburg child, had threatened to [uk] of the three Christian states, for the whole length of the great Glando Angelinian war, and it was predicted that the solving of the Aronburg mystery or for the revenge of her assassins, was the only hope for any change of the Christian nation winning the war. Abbieannia managed to crush Glandelinia herself, after Claverinia had been ruined, and almost destroyed, and Angelinian nation almost wiped out her armies.

Transcriber's Note and Additional Resources

A little bit every day is better than nothing at all. 

Welcome! 

I am currently transcribing Henry Darger's first volume with the intent to have his entire works accessible and readable. For those who don't know, this is an ambitious project, as his complete works contain 15,145 pages and was written over a lifetime. Due to working a more than full time job, updates are not based on a schedule but a base-by-base case.

I try to keep as close to the original formatting as possible with the exception of paragraph breaks and indentations. His works, contained in bound books and scanned as spreads, are deceptively dense. I have preserved certain words Henry consistently misspelled. I believe those add an additional personal dimension to his already unique work. Those words that are inconsistently spelled due to typos I have corrected. 

The names of cities and countries are unique, and some may have different variations of spelling. This is partly due to the quality of the scan and my personal unfamiliarity with the names themselves. This is a work in progress. My current focus is to transcribe. My secondary focus is to revise. Not in the sense of changing the work, but rather creating consistency (such as names for countries, typhoons, and creatures) in order to be more faithful to the original manuscript. 

This is a work in progress, in which both the blog and my posts will be polished up and organized more efficiently over time. Expect change. This is a journey.  

Henry Darger is by far my favorite artist. It is a miracle and a blessing that his work was preserved. Below I have provided all known links about Henry Darger. The first link is all of his works which can be downloaded in a PDF format. 

Please, if you see any unintentional typos, let me know and I will fix it :)
