Book Synopsis The Little Girl and Other Stories by : Katherine Mansfield
Download or read book The Little Girl and Other Stories written by Katherine Mansfield and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-02 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the stories and sketches in this collection were written in the years between the publication of Katherine Mansfield's first book, "In a German Pension," in 1911 and the publication of her second, "Bliss and other Stories," in I920. There are a few exceptions.The first story, The Tiredness of Rosabel was written in 1908 when Katherine Mansfield was nineteen years old, and the three stories following also were written before "In a German Pension" was published; while Sixpence and Poison were written after Bliss had appeared. Sixpence was excluded from "The Garden-Party and Other Stories" by Katherine Mansfield because she thought it "sentimental" ; Poison was excluded because I thought it was not wholly successful. I have since changed mymind: it now seems to me a little masterpiece.I have no doubt that Katherine Mansfield, were she still alive, would not have suffered some of these stories to appear. When she was urged to allow"In a German Pension" to be republished, she would always reply: "Not now; not yet-not until I have a body of work done and it can be seen in perspective.

Book Synopsis Dreadful Young Ladies and Other Stories by : Kelly Barnhill
Download or read book Dreadful Young Ladies and Other Stories written by Kelly Barnhill and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mrs. Sorensen’s husband dies, she rekindles a long-dormant love with an unsuitable mate in “Mrs. Sorensen and the Sasquatch.” In “Open the Door and the Light Pours Through,” a young man wrestles with grief and his sexuality in an exchange of letters with his faraway beloved. “Dreadful Young Ladies” demonstrates the strength and power—known and unknown—of the imagination. In “Notes on the Untimely Death of Ronia Drake,” a witch is haunted by the deadly repercussions of a spell. “The Insect and the Astronomer” upends expectations about good and bad, knowledge and ignorance, love and longing. The World Fantasy Award–winning novella “The Unlicensed Magician” introduces the secret magical life of an invisible girl once left for dead—with thematic echoes of Barnhill’s Newbery Medal–winning novel, The Girl Who Drank the Moon. With bold, reality-bending invention underscored by richly illuminated universal themes of love, death, jealousy, and hope, the stories in Dreadful Young Ladies show why its author has been hailed as “a fantasist on the order of Neil Gaiman” (Minneapolis Star Tribune). This collection cements Barnhill’s place as one of the wittiest, most vital and compelling voices in contemporary literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is one of Portugal's greatest poets and, like her poetry, these stories are filled with her delight and pleasure in nature, gardens and the sea, as well as her keen sense of the magical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Most Anticipated in 2021 Pick for The Independent | Buzzfeed | The Nerd Daily When we came to America, we brought anger and socialism and hunger. We also brought our demons. In Burning Girls and Other Stories, Veronica Schanoes crosses borders and genres with stories of fierce women at the margins of society burning their way toward the center. This debut collection introduces readers to a fantasist in the vein of Karen Russell and Kelly Link, with a voice all her own. Emma Goldman—yes, that Emma Goldman—takes tea with the Baba Yaga and truths unfold inside of exquisitely crafted lies. In "Among the Thorns," a young woman in seventeenth century Germany is intent on avenging the brutal murder of her peddler father, but discovers that vengeance may consume all that it touches. In the showstopping, awards finalist title story, "Burning Girls," Schanoes invests the immigrant narrative with a fearsome fairytale quality that tells a story about America we may not want—but need—to hear. Dreamy, dangerous, and precise, with the weight of the very oldest tales we tell, Burning Girls and Other Stories introduces a writer pushing the boundaries of both fantasy and contemporary fiction. With a foreword by Jane Yolen At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Synopsis Backwoods Girl by : Ruth Risetter Watson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruth climbed up the running board and scooted down the front seat of the new Tin Lizzie. Her father said to not be afraid when he cranked up the motor. Do be careful, said Mama. You know many men have broken their arms or sprained their wrists cranking. I'll be careful. Just sit tight and don't scream or jump out. Ruth was on her way to live in the mountains of East Tennessee. As she grew up on a farm in the shelter of Walden's Ridge, she encountered dangers as diverse as harrows and hornets, screaming locomotives and car thieves. She drew water from a well and bathed in a washtub. She marveled at the majesty of the Harvey Hannah mansion and the variety of goods for sale in Sienknechts General Store. She found that helping somebody else was also like planting - sharing love or encouragement could grow as joy seeds in somebody's heart. This book pictures mountain life of 1927-1930, simple, yet often painful. There were no conveniences such as electricity, running water, telephones, or good roads. Horses were still used for work and transportation, but Fords were fast replacing them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Pulitzer Finalist and universally beloved author of the New York Times best sellers Swamplandia! and Vampires in the Lemon Grove, a stunning new collection of short fiction that showcases Karen Russell’s extraordinary, irresistible gifts of language and imagination. Karen Russell’s comedic genius and mesmerizing talent for creating outlandish predicaments that uncannily mirror our inner in lives is on full display in these eight exuberant, arrestingly vivid, unforgettable stories. In“Bog Girl”, a revelatory story about first love, a young man falls in love with a two thousand year old girl that he’s extracted from a mass of peat in a Northern European bog. In “The Prospectors,” two opportunistic young women fleeing the depression strike out for new territory, and find themselves fighting for their lives. In the brilliant, hilarious title story, a new mother desperate to ensure her infant’s safety strikes a diabolical deal, agreeing to breastfeed the devil in exchange for his protection. The landscape in which these stories unfold is a feral, slippery, purgatorial space, bracketed by the void—yet within it Russell captures the exquisite beauty and tenderness of ordinary life. Orange World is a miracle of storytelling from a true modern master.
