Hi, I'm Shobha Varma from India. I have this book in my husband Dr.Varma's library. It is a wonderful book, no doubt on that aspect. But because my husband is an artist and movie buff while I am a Carnatic Musician, we always crave for books with illustrations. This book DOES have illustrations, but my husband wants only the illustated short stories.
The 56 short stories are wonderful. Particularly with Sydney Paget's illustrations. >>More Details |

Suite 606by: J Robb November 01, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Short Stories |

The title of the J D Robb short story in this book is Ritual in death. As any J D Robb fan will know this is also the title of an Audio(MP3)book being sold for twice the cost of the book. Wanting to read all the Eve Dallas stories I bought both and only found out they were the same when I played the CD. So yes, I feel it's a dodgy publishing practice to say the least. I hope that in writing this review, I can save other fans from wasting money they can ill-afford to lose.

"The Yellow Wallpaper (Dover Thrift)by: Charlotte Perkins Gilman 1998-02 Best Selling > Books > Short Stories |
||
|
This is a spine-tingling (not necessarily in a good way!) long short story with hauntingly gothic imagery that shifts and stirs beneath a prosaic surface.
The female protagonist is confined to her room as a 'rest cure' which might be associated with what we now recognise as post-natal depression, but the enforced 'rest' that is more akin to imprisonment releases something in her psyche that might be madness... The yellow wallpaper of the title is both a kind of fairy-tale mirror and a window to another world that allows the narrator to see the female figures caught beneath it and living out their lives beneath its shadows, an incredibly haunting and indicting imagery for Victorian England. This is only short (more ... Read More: >>More Details |

I am so pleased to have found this book again, I used to own it once before and enjoyed its easy style but I gave it away to a South American friend who was learning English (she loves it!).
This book is so expertly executed that even if you have only a modest level of Spanish, it will strengthen what you've already got, provide you with new words and encourage you onto more. It's set around 18 stories or myths or folklores from Spain's past, starting with the oldest first and working towards the newest last, with the Spanish and English presented on facing pages. But each story is introduced by a one paragraph abstract which helps sets the scene for the story that follows. And each of the stories in turn are interesting ... Read More: >>More Details |

Last Evenings on Earthby: Roberto Bolano April 03, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Short Stories |

One of those books, I suspect, which you either abandon in the first four pages, or add to your personal list of special books. Very different to the tradition of English story-writing, these accounts manage a strange mixture of distance and intimacy. The characters are often identified only by letters, 'A' or 'B', the narrator often seems a detatched observer, even when recounting their own past life, yet the details of events and emotions recounted draw one in and allow you to engage with and care about the characters. There is generally no plot twist at the end, in fact, often no very obvious plot at all, but I found this collection engaging, interesting and memorable. I'd recommend giving it a try to see if it works for you. I'm now going to try something ... Read More:

This installment of the Quickies is, by far, the best yet. As the title suggests, the book really does things quickly, but with a kick! I will definitely read more of these as they are published. I also liked, for more of a romantic feel, Breaking the Girl.

Loved this book--loved it! It really rang true with me just because it is about the ultimate fantasy--sex with strangers. I have to say I want more like this! A real winner, that's for sure! I also liked and would suggest another in the same realm: Playtime.

Fine Just the Way it is: Wyoming Stories (Wyoming Stories 3)by: Annie Proulx September 01, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Short Stories |

This is the third and I hope the last of Annie Proulx's collection of Wyoming short stories. Not as good as previous volumes with nothing nearly as good as 'Brokeback Mountain'. I heard that the strain of researching and labouring over a full length novel was becoming too much for her and that 'That Old Ace In The Hole' was to be her last. I hope not because it is hardly a memorable finale after her earlier works: 'The Shipping News', 'Postcards', 'Accordian Crimes' which like her earlier short story collections were much superior.
Back to 'Fine Just the Way It Is'. Of the nine essays five are.... well.. OK with the two set in Hell; I've Always Loved This Place and Swamp Mischief not really a credit to her and not really amusing. We have to wait until ... Read More: >>More Details |

Brilliant book. The tales themselves are funny, magical, colourful, earthy, violent and very very colourful. They reveal a lot about the imagination and obsessions of medieval middle eastern society, and human society generally - poverty, work, the wheel of fortune, crime and punishment,truth and lies, god and the devil. Above all they are masterpieces in the art of great story-telling, with all sorts of little twists and turns of plot, narratives within narratives, comic devices, pastiche characters.The translation is superb in its clarity, consistency and stylistic appropriateness. Don't delay - go and educate yourself in one of the foundations of all storytelling and literature.
