Download or read book The Goose Girl and Other Stories written by Eric Linklater and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-09-28 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eric Linklater was one of the most respected and prolific Scottish writers of this century, yet more than twenty-five years have passed since his last collection of short stories was published. This selection covers Linklater's entire writing life. The settings are as various as the places where he lived - Orkney, India, California, Edinburgh and the Highlands - the events that take place, both fantastic and sensual in their depiction. A strong seam of Scottish history and culture runs through much of Linklater's work. The short stories include classics of the form, such as The Goose Girl and Kind Kitty, and wild variations on fairy stories, medieval myths, bawdy folktales, Viking sagas and 1920s crime reports. They derive from the magic of the world - love, beauty, ambition, drink and language. Their exuberant invention and comic verve provide glorious evidence for George Mackay Brown's assertion that 'Linklater is one of Scotland's best story-tellers ever'.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "River Mist and Other Stories" is a collection of short fiction by Kunikida Doppo, a prominent writer of Japan’s Meiji era. The anthology reflects Doppo’s blend of romanticism and realism, exploring themes like personal failure, nostalgia, nature, and inner struggle. The title story, River Mist (Kawagiri), follows Ueda Toyokichi, a man who leaves his hometown with high hopes but returns after 20 years, defeated by life’s hardships. Doppo’s vivid descriptions of the mist-covered riverbanks capture both the beauty of nature and the melancholy of unfulfilled dreams. Through this and other stories, Doppo expresses his fascination with human vulnerability, often influenced by English romantic poets like Wordsworth. The collection showcases Doppo’s talent for introspective storytelling with moments of subtle humor, tragic endings, and philosophical reflection, revealing the author’s own personal trials and emotional evolution. 1 River Mist 2 Old Gen 3 The Bonfire 4 The Deer Hunt 5 Those Unforgettable People 6 The Stars 7 Third Party 8 Woman Trouble 9 Poetic Images The white cloud over the hill The two travelers Barren ground The wayside plum 10 Phantoms 11 Musashino 12 The Self-Made Man 13 Letter From Yugahara 14 Bird Of Spring 15 Meat And Potatoes
