Summary: "Astounding Stories, June, 1931" by Various is a collection of science fiction stories published during the early 20th century. This anthology features tales of adventure, speculative concepts, and imaginative worlds, showcasing works from notable writers of the time. The collection explores themes of time travel, extraordinary beings, and elements of futuristic technology, appealing to fans of speculative fiction and adventure narratives. The opening of "Astounding Stories" presents two notable tales. The first, "The Man from 2071" by Sewell Peaslee Wright, introduces Commander John Hanson, who encounters Jacob Harbauer, a man claiming to have traveled from the past into the future. Their interaction reveals Harbauer's unique scientific theories about time and sets the stage for tension as Harbauer’s true intentions come to light. His aspirations to seize power in his own era generate intrigue as he becomes increasingly dangerous. Meanwhile, the second story, "Manape the Mighty" by Arthur J. Burks, focuses on Lee Bentley, a survivor of a shipwreck who quickly realizes he must navigate a perilous jungle populated by enormous apes and mystery. The initial moments establish a contrast between human struggle and the raw power of nature, hinting at an adventure filled with danger and the unknown. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
