Andersen
Stories of Hans Christian Andersen

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Hans Christian Andersen`s tales have always seized the imagination with their blend of simplicity, eccentricity, and charm, but until now readers have had to content themselves with inaccurate retellings and inadequate translations. Now Diana Crone Frankand Jeffrey Frank offer a much-needed modern translation which returns faithfully to the original Danish. In this collection are twenty-two tales that best represent Andersen`s literary legacy. Here are the classics: `The Little Mermaid`, `The Ugly Ducklig`, `Thumbelisa`, and `The Princess and the Pea` among them, as well as largely unfamiliar stories like `By the Outermost Sea`. In their introduction, the Franks explore the writer and his times, placing the enigmatic and often bizarre figure of Andersen mong his literary contemporaries, such as Charles Dickens and Soren Kierkegaard. Illustrated with the delicate and beautiful black and white drawings that accompanied the original Danish publication, The Stories of Hans Christian… [detailed...]

Stories of Illness and Healing: Women Write Their Bodies

2007 y.
Publisher: Kent State University Press
Description: `Stories of Illness and Healing` is the first collection to place the voices of women experiencing illness alongside analytical writing from prominent scholars in the field of narrative medicine. The collection includes a variety of women`s illness narratives - poetry, essays, short fiction, short drama, analyses, and transcribed oral testimonies - as well as traditional analytic essays about themes and issues raised by the narratives. `Stories of Illness and Healing` bridges the artificial divide between women`s lives and scholarship in gender, health, and medicine. The authors of these narratives are diverse in age, ethnicity, family situation, sexual orientation, and economic status. They are doctors, patients, spouses, mothers, daughters, activists, writers, educators, and performers. The narratives serve to acknowledge that women`s illness experiences are more than their diseases, that they encompass their entire lives. The pages of this book echo with personal accounts of… [detailed...]

U. Waldo Cutler
Stories of King Arthur and His Knights

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Among the best liked stories of five or six hundred years ago were those which told of chivalrous deeds -- of joust and tourney and knightly adventure. To be sure, these stories were not set forth in printed books, for there were no printed books as early as the times of the first three King Edwards, and few people could have read them if there had been any. But children and grown people alike were eager to hear these old-time tales read or recited by the minstrels, and the interest in them has continued in some measure through all the changing years and tastes. We now, in the times of the seventh King Edward, still find them far more worth our while than many modern stories. In these early romances of chivalry, Arthur and his knights of the Round Table are by far the most popular heroes, and the finding of the Holy Grail is the highest achievement of knightly valor. The books of any age are for us a record of how the people of that age thought, how they lived, and what kind of men… [detailed...]

In haunting mood and imagery, they celebrate the old nomadic life of the Sioux, when buffalo were plentiful and all nature fed the spirit. The twenty stories honor not only the buffalo but also the dog, the horse, the eagle, and the wolf as workaday helpers and agents of divine intervention, the wisdom of the medicine man, and the heroism and resourcefulness of individual men and women.

Publisher: —
Description: Stories to Caution the World is the first complete translation of Jingshi tongyan, the second of Feng Menglong`s three collections of stories which were pivotal in the development of Chinese vernacular fiction. These tales, whose importance in the Chinese literary canon and in world literature is without question, have been compared to Boccaccio`s Decameron and the stories of A Thousand and One Nights. `The stories…are not only entertaining but also valuable sources of information on daily life and culture in Ming-dynasty China.` -- Choice Feng Menglong collected popular stories from a variety of sources (some dating back centuries) and circulated them via the flourishing seventeenth-century publishing industry. He not only saved them from oblivion but elevated the status of vernacular literature and provided material for authors of the great late-Ming and Qing novels to draw upon. As in their translation of the first collection of Feng`s trilogy, Stories Old and New, Shuhui and… [detailed...]

Elizabeth Stoddard
Stories: Elizabeth Stoddard

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionMost widely-known today as the author of ?The Morgesons? (1862), her first of three novels, Elizabeth Stoddard was also a prolific writer of short stories, children`s tales, poems, essays, travel writing, and journalism pieces. This anthology now makes available for the first time selections from Stoddard`s too-long neglected literary production of short fiction. Originally published between 1859 and 1890 in such magazines as ?Harper`s Monthly,? ?Harper`s Bazaar,? and the ?Atlantic Monthly,? the sixteen stories included here demonstrate the versatility of a fascinating writer who was one of the most original and unique voices in nineteenth-century American literature. A pioneering predecessor of regionalist authors Mary Wilkins Freeman, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Kate Chopin, as well as a precursor of American modernism, Stoddard`s writing is remarkable for its almost total lack of sentimentality, pervasive use of irony,… [detailed...]

But this weekend, three people are flying to the island, not for a tan or fun in the sun, but because they have reason to believe that they might encounter something there that most people take great measures to avoid—a hurricane.

Also on the flight is Jimmy Newton, a professional storm chaser and videographer who will do anything for the perfect shot. Waiting for them at Dampier is the manager of the Water’s Edge Hotel, Maywell Hope, a descendant of the pirates who sailed the Caribbean hundreds of hears ago.

Description: Book Description`The witch,` the crowd murmured, as they parted before me. Dirty unwashed humans. I wrinkled my nose and pressed my sleeping harling closer to my chest. I loathed bringing my son into the presence of the filthy things, but when duty is concerned Zen sets aside all else. Even family. We had arrived three months ago in this overcrowded refugee camp on the high plains of northern Megalithica, after Tigron Pellaz-har-Aralis, lord of the powerful region of Almagabra, had chosen my chesnari to be his ambassador to the savages. Zen had taken to the task with an enthusiasm that I didn`t understand. When I`d dropped our son`s pearl, Zen had shown an appropriate amount of excitement. But as the harling continued to develop within the protective membrane, Zen had found a hundred excuses to be elsewhere which, I`m sure, in his eyes he considered quite legitimate. The familiar pattern of Zen`s thoughts brushed away my irritation. The crowd opened, and I saw him mediating… [detailed...]
