Book excerpt: A man who does not recognise his own face, an aristocrat who keeps his amputated limbs in jars on the shelf, an infant that commits suicide, a cat that is secretly writing a novel, a rooster that rebels against fate -- those are some of the characters that make Bahram Sadeqi's stories intriguing, incomparable and inimitable. Sadeqi is an original story-teller who depicts familiar facts and mundane realities in such a way that shocks us to the core and makes us call everything into question. With a subtle irony reminiscent of Poe, Kafka and Marquez, he engages us in an intricate quest to explore the meaning of life, death and the cosmos. Considering the slight body of work Sadeqi left behind after his untimely death, one cannot help but be struck by the impact his work has had on Persian literature nevertheless. Sadeqi consistently transgressed established literary ideologies with an easy confidence, pioneering an entirely new style of literature and presenting his own unique perspective on the human condition. His presence in contemporary Persian prose fiction was like that of a lone meteorite: appearing in a blinding flash, instantly yet fleetingly illuminating its surroundings, then abruptly fading into the darkness, leaving only a completely original, overwhelming and fantastic trail, the remainder of something singularly magnificent that we cannot hope to ever see repeated. Ever since he first published his stories in literary journals as a young writer, Sadeqi's works have been widely reprinted, finding vast audiences among each new generation of Iranians. This collection contains some of Sadeqi's best short stories, as well as Malakut, his magnum opus, a novella that took everyone by surprise in the 1960s, still fascinating readers and critics alike.

Sarita doesnÍt much like her neighbor Matilde and thinks sheÍs a fool to put up with the philandering boyfriend who beats her. But Sarita feels obligated to help because MatildeÍs mother was her best friend. ñThatÍs for not singing at your funeral, even though I promised,î she whispers to her dead comadre. And this time, SaritaÍs deliberate provocation of the volatile situation next door will end the beatings once and for all. Past and present are interwoven in this award-winning collection of 11 stories dealing with migration across geographical and cultural boundaries. Set in California and Mexico, the characters in these stories struggle with all that life throws their way, including abusive boyfriends, separation from loved ones, and unfaithful spouses, all in an uneasy search for a balance between a Mexican past and a Mexican-American future. With vivid brushstrokes, Hernandez paints a collage of Latinas who work vigorously to overcome drastic situations. A woman is convinced that her brother-in-lawÍs constant fooling around with co-eds caused her sisterÍs heart attack, and she obsesses about getting revenge even if it means turning to brujeria. A young woman who has flunked out of college multiple times finally goes home to confront the memories of her fatherÍs sexual abuse that she hasnÍt been able to flee or forget. On her deathbed, Chata reveals to her daughter that when she was growing up in a small Mexican village, her first love was a beautiful prostitute. Themes of survival, identity, and cultural conflict are woven through the stories in this intriguing and entertaining collection, the winner of the University of California-IrvineÍs Chicano / Latino Literary Prize.

Book Synopsis The Schoolmistress and Other Stories by : Anton Chekhov
Download or read book The Schoolmistress and Other Stories written by Anton Chekhov and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Schoolmistress and Other Stories (1920) is a collection of short stories by Russian writer Anton Chekhov. “The Schoolmistress” was written in 1897 and published in an issue of Moscow’s daily newspaper Russkiye Vedomosti. Even for Chekhov, whose work is characteristically bleak and noted for its unsparing realism, the title story of this collection is particularly hopeless. And yet, reading it alongside these other stories by a true icon of world and Russian literature, one cannot help but feel a sense of hope, reminded—as Chekhov’s readers almost invariably are—of the light one finds in even the darkest of places. “The Schoolmistress,” which Chekhov wrote in Nice, is a brief story that follows Maria Vasilyevna as she returns to the village where she lives and works after collecting her pay in town. On the way, her cart nearly overturns, and she is forced to get out in the middle of a freezing river. To dry off, she takes a break at a local tavern, where she meets the formerly handsome Khanov, a landlord of her acquaintance. As she continues on her journey, she muses on her lot in life. Beset with memories and regrets, she struggles to make it home to a life she can hardly bear. “A Nervous Breakdown,” originally published in 1889, is the story of a young law student who reluctantly agrees to accompany his friends on a night in Moscow’s red-light district. Overwhelmed with despair and guilt, he struggles to reconcile what he sees with his own idealistic sense of the world. These are only two of the twenty-one works collected in The Schoolmistress and Other Stories, which showcase the immense talents of Anton Chekhov, an icon of Russian literature. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Anton Chekhov’s The Schoolmistress and Other Stories is a classic of Russian literature reimagined for modern readers.
Book Synopsis Tales, Myths and Other Stories by : Dennis Nanni
Download or read book Tales, Myths and Other Stories written by Dennis Nanni and published by Dennis Nanni. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales, Myths & Other Stories came about as a result of home-schooling my son, Dhanvantari. His assignments included using his imagination to recreate and explore ancient mythology and literature: Plato, the Srimad Bhagavatam, the Decameron, and other tales. More material came from real-life locations in Tennessee and from incidents such as the Roswell UFO crash in 1947. The stories include themes of mythology, science fiction, adventure, and family. There is humor and emotion in every story. As much as possible, I tried to avoid violence, except as an historical footnote, in order to promote a more peaceful mindset for a better world. My sister Debbi, a professional educator, has often told me that reading is becoming a lost art among young people, and it is my hope that this collection of stories will promote a new love of literature and a more vivid imagination among all those who enjoy it.
