Book excerpt: A Dream Come True collects the complete stories of Juan Carlos Onetti, presenting his existentialist, complex, and ironic style over the course of his writing career. Onetti was praised by Latin America's greatest authors, and regarded as an inventor of a new form and school of writing. Juan Carlos Onetti's A Dream Come True depicts a sharp, coherent, literary voice, encompassing Onetti's early stages of writing and his later texts. They span from a few pages in "Avenida de Mayo - Diagonal - Avenida de Mayo" to short novellas, like the celebrated detective story "The Face of Disgrace" and "Death and the Girl," an existential masterpiece that explores the complexity of violence and murder in the mythical town of Santa María. His stories create a world of writing which is both universal and highly local, mediating between philosophical characters and the quotidian melodrama of Uruguayan villages.

Download or read book The Truth and Other Stories written by Stanislaw Lem and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelve stories by science fiction master Stanisław Lem, nine of them never before published in English. Of these twelve short stories by science fiction master Stanisław Lem, only three have previously appeared in English, making this the first "new" book of fiction by Lem since the late 1980s. The stories display the full range of Lem's intense curiosity about scientific ideas as well as his sardonic approach to human nature, presenting as multifarious a collection of mad scientists as any reader could wish for. Many of these stories feature artificial intelligences or artificial life forms, long a Lem preoccupation; some feature quite insane theories of cosmology or evolution. All are thought provoking and scathingly funny. Written from 1956 to 1993, the stories are arranged in chronological order. In the title story, "The Truth," a scientist in an insane asylum theorizes that the sun is alive; "The Journal" appears to be an account by an omnipotent being describing the creation of infinite universes--until, in a classic Lem twist, it turns out to be no such thing; in "An Enigma," beings debate whether offspring can be created without advanced degrees and design templates. Other stories feature a computer that can predict the future by 137 seconds, matter-destroying spores, a hunt in which the prey is a robot, and an electronic brain eager to go on the lam. These stories are peak Lem, exploring ideas and themes that resonate throughout his writing.

This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LaWanda’s Journey and Other Stories is a compilation of twelve individual short stories. These inspiring tales cover such issues as grief, loss, aging, abuse, and redemption. In the book’s short story titled “LaWanda’s Journey,” LaWanda is a young woman learning to overcome her past. Juanita, in “Christmas Star,” is dealing with grief over her dad’s passing by trying to be positive as she learns to let go. Althea, in “Handful of Quiet,” is rebooting her life. While cycling to work, she finds herself coping with traffic. “Queen of Starting Over” tells of dealing with age discrimination on the job, and how one woman makes a Robert Frost decision about “The Road Not Taken.” Society’s indifference with the displaced elderly is revealed in “Shoulda Followed My Notion.” Daphne, in “Unspoken,” chooses to pursue the joyful peace that comes from a positively focused attitude. “Where Angels Brightly Go” features Sandy, who as a child endured verbal abuse from her mother. Now she refuses to let her past influence her future. An elderly couple and their perspectives on life take center stage in “Reject.” And “Uniquely Me” shows how positive affirmation from family members can help a child become a star. This wonderful collection of Christian stories considers the many journeys we travel in life. Says the author, “I wrote this collection of short stories to reveal how God’s love can shine even in the little everyday things. I hope the reader takes away from it how to walk with shoes of peace in difficult times, or as Mother Theresa once said, “to do little things with great love.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shy English Rose blossoms into an exotic bird of paradise in this thrillingly romantic twist on the tale of Cinderella. With her slender, graceful, almost elfin beauty, Odetta may not look like a Cinderella but it’s she who must stay at home while her aristocratic friend is dressed by the great couturiers and dances at Society balls. That is, until she’s whisked to Paris as her friend’s lady’s maid – and, on a crazy impulse, borrows a fabulous dress and a mask and slips unnoticed into a Venetian Masked Ball. As she’s marvelling at the whirling waltzes, Chinese lanterns and glamorously costumed guests, a tall, handsome masked and cloaked man asks, ‘Are you waiting for some laggard partner or have you just dropped down from the sky to bemuse us poor mortals?’ Cinderella has gone to the ball! No longer ‘Miss Nobody from Nowhere’, she lives the dream, playing the part of a French Princesse and quickly finding her feet in the fashionable world… But just as quickly she loses her heart to her masked hero – and her impossible dream becomes a nightmare because her new life and love is all a lie.

Download or read book A Soothsayer S Prophesy and Other Stories written by Mahesh Kulkarni and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man curious about his future goes to an astrologer. The astrologer prophesies that his wife will meet with an accident. Destiny decides to test whether the astrologer will remain true to his craft even though it entails ruin. Will the astrologer pass the test? A sculptor creates a very beautiful statue. The statue is infected with the praise hurled upon it. Is beauty a source of inspiration or cause of destruction? Or are creation and destruction the two great imposters? There is theft in the house of a businessman. An engineering student confesses to the police, yet the investigation starts. There is a dilapidated medieval fort where poltergeist phenomena are reported. Six friends visit the fort, some out of curiosity and some out of compulsion. What happens inside the fort will haunt the ghosts for eternity. Stories that are uninhibited by the constraints of grammar, by the considerations of syntactic propriety, by the rigidities of morals and messages, is a dream destination. We believe that a story belongs more to a reader than its writer. We have tried our best to refrain ourselves from force-feeding the reader with matters that are too peripheral to matter, in spite of the many temptations to do so and have made naive attempts to act as facilitators and allow the reader to paint his own environs and at times, draw his own conclusions . This book is more a sincere than a scholarly attempt to do this.
