Download or read book Long Story Short written by Lisa Brown and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature is long. Comics are short. Does Proust get you down? Do you find The Unbearable Lightness of Being simply unbearable? Is The Inferno your own private hell? Do you long to be conversant about classics like Moby Dick, the Bhagavad Gita, Madame Bovary, and, um, Twilight? Bestselling illustrator Lisa Brown (The Airport Book; Baby, Mix Me a Drink) did her homework. Long Story Short offers 100 pithy and skewering three-panel literary summaries, from curriculum classics like Don Quixote, Lord of the Flies, and Jane Eyre to modern favorites like Beloved, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, and Atonement, conveniently organized by subjects including “Love,” “Sex,” “Death,” and “Female Trouble.” Lisa Brown’s Long Story Short is the perfect way to turn a traipse through what your English teacher called “the canon” into a frolic—or to happily cram for the next occasion that requires you to appear bookish and well-read.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories to Tell the Littlest Ones Gradually other loves have taken their place in the home-story world, and I have told my boy and girl many tales of many kinds, true, fairy, and foolish, as they call humorous stories, but they still love the one that begins with Peter Rabbit. Once in a while, in the long series Of days, some happy inspiration has given me a better thought than usual, and a real story has popped out of my mouth in place of the mediocre inventions of habit. These few real stories have been retold by request of the original audience, and told again to larger audiences many times. It has seemed to me that the best of them might prove of value to other teach ers and mothers of very, little children, for the demand is continuous, and the sup ply of material suitable for such tiny hearers is exceedingly small.

Large long dog lay curled up near the fire, and every now and then he lifted up his head as if in the act of listening. On the fire hung a large round pot; the way this was suspended was by a short chain fastened to two stakes, which were stuck in the ground.

Book Synopsis The Best British Short Stories of 1922 (Classic Reprint) by : Edward Joseph O'Brien

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Best British Short Stories of 1922 I do not suppose that a hundred years ago such a question could have occurred to any one. Then all that a story was and could be was implied in the simple phrase: Tell me a story. We all know what that means. How many stories published today would stand this simple if final test of being told by word of mouth? I doubt whether fifty per cent would. Surely the universality of the printing press and the linotype machine have done something to alter the character of literature, just as the train and the telephone have done not a little to abolish polite correspondence. Most stories of today are to be read, not told. Hence great importance must be attached to the manner of writing; in some instances, the whole effect of a modern tale is dependent on the manner of presentation. Henry James is, possibly, an extreme example. Has any one ever attempted to tell a tale in the Henry James man ner by word of mouth, even when the manner pretends to be conversational? I, for one, have yet to experience this pleasure, though I have listened to a good many able and experienced tale-tellers in my time. Now, there is a great connection between the manner or method of a writer and the matter upon which he works his manner or method. Henry James was not an accident. Life, as he found it, was full of trivialities and polite surfaces; and a great deal of manner-style, if you like - is needful to give life and meaning to trivial things.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plain Tales From the Hills, Vol. 2 of 2 While the snaffle holds, or the long-neck stings, While the big beam tilts, or the last bell rings, While horses are horses to train and to race, Then women and wine take a second place For me - for me - While a short 'ten-three' Has a field to squander or fence to face! Song of the G. R. There are more ways of running a horse to suit your book than pulling his head off in A. the straight. Some men forget this. Understand clearly that all racing is rotten - as everything connected with losing money must be. In India, in addition to its inherent rottenness, it has the merit of being two-thirds sham; looking pretty on paper only. Every one knows every one else far too well for business purposes.

Long novels are exceptional and not very popular. Nearly all Russian writers of note to-day are either poets or essayists or short story writers. Tchekhof, who wrote some twenty volumes of little tales, really made the short story popular. I have made a way for this sort of writing, he is reported to have said to Kuprin. After me it will be easy for others to go on writing such tales. The prophecy has been fulfilled. More than eighty per cent of the fiction published since his death has been collections of little stories.

Book Synopsis The Tales of the Sixty Mandarins (Classic Reprint) by : P. V. Ramaswami Raju
Download or read book The Tales of the Sixty Mandarins (Classic Reprint) written by P. V. Ramaswami Raju and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tales of the Sixty Mandarins This is a real book of new Fairy Tales. Gatherings of legends of the people, partly Indian, partly Chinese, have been touched by the genius of a writer, himself from the East, who brings his own wit and fancy to the telling of his tales, and is as ready to invent as to hand down tradition. A Fairy Tale should-be all action, with something done in every sentence, or something said that carries on the story in a short and lively way. Whatever truth there may be living in its fiction must live in the tale itself, as closely joined to it as soul to body. Long moralising in a Fairy Tale is as the sound of Bottom snoring in Titania's lap. But here is Titania herself in whimsical mood, at play in the East. It is an old playground of hers - she must have been visiting her comrades there, when she made Oberon jealous with a lovely boy stolen from an Indian king. And Oberon, when he came to tease her for the boy, had not he also, as far as Titania knew, come from the farthest steep of India?
