Download or read book The Chronicles of Clovis written by Hector Hugh Munro and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by H. H. Munro was originally published in 1911 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Chronicles of Clovis' is a collection of short stories, including 'The Great Weep', 'Tobermory', 'Adrian', and many more. Hector Hugh Munro was born in Akyab, Burma in 1870. He was raised by aunts in North Devon, England, before returning to Burma in his early twenties to join the Colonial Burmese Military Police. Later, Munro returned once more to England, where he embarked on his career as a journalist, becoming well-known for his satirical 'Alice in Westminster' political sketches, which appeared in the Westminster Gazette. Arguably better-remembered by his pen name, 'Saki', Munro is now considered a master of the short story, with tales such as 'The Open Window' regarded as examples of the form at its finest.

This book was released on 2023-11-17 with total page 1333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'SAKI - Ultimate Collection: 145 Novels & Short Stories; Including Plays, Sketches & Historical Study' anthology is a comprehensive gathering that underscores the wit, irony, and discerning critique of Edwardian society encapsulated in the works of H. H. Munro, known by his pen name Saki. This collection showcases a remarkable diversity of literary styles - from the succinct satire of his short stories to the nuanced drama of his plays, and insightful sketches of the historical context in which he wrote. Notable for its inclusion of lesser-known works alongside celebrated stories, this anthology offers a unique lens through which to view the breadth of Saki's literary contributions and understanding of human nature and societal follies. The contributing authors, in this case, Saki himself, with his distinct literary persona, provides a vivid tableau of the social mores and the undercurrents of discontent that characterized the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods. His keen observation, coupled with a sharp, often dark humor, captures the complexities and contradictions of his time, making his work an important part of literary and cultural discussions of the early 20th century. For readers seeking to immerse themselves in the Edwardian period through the prism of satire and to appreciate the craft of short storytelling at its finest, 'SAKI - Ultimate Collection' is an invaluable compilation. Offering not just entertainment but also a deep, multi-faceted historical perspective, this anthology is a testament to the enduring relevance of Sakis works. Scholars, enthusiasts, and new readers alike will find in this collection a rich source of study, reflection, and enjoyment, bridging the gap between literary art and historical insight.

Here is a beautiful book with fantastic woodcut prints and lyrical text that turns the tale of the Little Red Hen upside down.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This celebrated collection of sketches sparkles with Stephen Leacock’s humour and shines with the warmth of his wit. The comical E.P., star of the title essay, “My Remarkable Uncle,” is a classic Leacock character. He is president of a railway with a letterhead but no rails, and he heads a bank that boasts credit but no cash whatsoever – all of which trouble E.P. not in the least. My Remarkable Uncle, a wonderful smorgasbord of mirth served up by a master of comedy, includes several essays, a short story, a political parable, and personal reflections on a dizzying array of subjects. Here, in rich abundance, are the inspired nonsense and the unerring eye for human folly that have made Stephen Leacock Canada’s most celebrated humorist.
