Old Man in New World is a short story by Olaf Stapledon , published as a separate volume by George Allen and Unwin in 1944. It was published through International PEN PEN , the international writers association. The story is set some time in the 1960s, and tells of the world that has been rebuilt from the devastation of the Second World War , as seen through the eyes of an old revolutionary. The Old Man is invited to London to see The Procession of The Peoples , an event celebrating the new order and the triumph of the human spirit. In witnessing this event, however, the Old Man sees nothing but the seeds of the very things he, in his youth, fought against &mdash falsehood, political will and religiosity.

Neogene of the OldWorld is a database containing information about Eurasian Miocene to Pleistocene land mammal taxa and localities, with emphasis on the European Miocene and Pliocene. NOW began as a clone of the ETE Evolution of Terrestrial Ecosystems database originally developed by John Damuth and the ETE Consortium, and most species and locality data fields follow the definitions described in the ETE manual. NOW is limited in scope to Cenozoic land mammals, so naturally uses only part of the complex possibilities embodied in the ETE design. Some fields have been added to suit the purposes of the NOW database, and some existing fields have been adapted. As a guideline NOW uses the taxonomy of McKenna & Bell s Classification of Mammals Above the Species Level, except for Muridae for which we use McKenna & Bell s classification with the modifications suggested by Hans de Bruijn. The NOW database is maintained and coordinated at the University of Helsinki by Mikael Fortelius in collaboration with an international advisory board.

Unreferenced date December 2009 The OldWorld Landowners , Starosvyetskiye pomeshchiki , a short story written in 1835 , is the first tale in the Mirgorod Gogol Mirgorod collection by Nikolai Gogol . A bittersweet and ironic reworking of the Baucis and Philemon legend, it is a simple story that represents the mature Gogol and hints at his later works. Plot Gogol opens by providing a romantic description of landowners in the countryside, giving particular attention to minute details. The two landowners, Afanasy Ivanovich and Pulkheria Ivanovna Tovstogub live peacefully together in a remote village. The descriptions of them fit into the Slavophile tradition, comparing them strikingly against urban Russians, particularly in Saint Petersburg , who are referred to as paltry contemptible creatures. The two old landowners live in peace, with a mutual love that brings a sense of sympathy. The bulk of the opening focuses on their day to day lives, eating jelly, making jokes and so forth. Eventually, Gogol introduces Pulkheria s grey cat, which Afanasy jokes about, wondering why anyone would waste time with such a creature. The cat is introduced with a sense of foreboding, with Gogol commenting that little things can affect the stability of the strongest realities a melancholy incident that transformed forever the life of that peaceful nook . The cat gets away at one point, and Pulkheria finds it shortly thereafter in a feral state. Though it comes back to her and goes inside the house to be fed, the cat seems strangely different and eventually flees the house to never return. Pulkheria then sinks into thought, believing that death will soon come for her. She grows ill and weary and dies, leaving Afanasy alone. He progressively breaks down, disturbed by the smallest things for they remind him of Pulkheria. The entire area he had control over slowly becomes ... to buy nothing over a ruble in price.
