Download or read book Jack the Bastard and Other Stories written by Micah Nathan and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the best-selling author of the novels Gods of Aberdeen and Losing Graceland comes this new collection of short fiction. The characters in these nine stories share a common thread as they come to terms with their misfortunes-a Jewish screenwriter is hired to write a blockbuster Holocaust romance in “The Mensch”-or their misdeeds-a husband and father returns to his family after leaving them in the care of a mere copy of himself in “Simulacrum.” This eclectic collection culminates in the epic, Kill Bill-esque “Jack the Bastard,” with its samurai and spaghetti western references. Illustrations by famed comic book artists Phil Noto, Tradd Moore, Russ Nicholson, and Michael Allred complement Nathan’s compelling prose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biting wit and lush descriptions combine in this striking new edition of Oscar Wilde’s short story collection, which contains Wilde’s most famous story, “The Canterville Ghost.” Originally published in 1887 in the British literary magazine, The Court and Society Review. “Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime: A Study of Duty” headlines this anthology, first published in 1891. In addition to the title work, Wilde added “The Canterville Ghost,” “The Model Millionaire,” and “The Sphinx Without a Secret.” Editions dated after 1900 (including this one) also contain “The Portrait of Mr. W. H.” In the 132 years since the publication of this collection, numerous actors, writers, and even musicians wrote adaptations of “The Canterville Ghost,” the most popular of the stories in this volume. But those adaptations also made significant changes in the plot. Now with a foreword by Hugo-award nominee Paul Di Filippo, go back to the original. Read “The Canterville Ghost,” and the other stories as Oscar Wilde wrote them.

Download or read book The Canterville Ghost and Other Stories written by Oscar Wilde and published by Modernista. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few authors are as closely associated with English wit as Oscar Wilde: the sharp-witted dandy, always ready with a cutting remark. His brilliant conversational skills made him famous even before he began his literary career. The stories in this volume showcase his drastic humour and scathing social critique. Among them, »The Model Millionaire« upends social hierarchies, and in »The Canterville Ghost,« ancient traditions meet modern times in the form of a vulgar and unsentimental American family, creating problems for a ghost that has had it too easy for centuries. OSCAR WILDE, born in 1854 in Dublin, died in 1900 in Paris, was an Irish prose writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Wilde's significance as a symbol for persecuted homosexuals around the world is immeasurable. Wilde himself was sentenced to prison and hard labour, his works were boycotted, theatrical productions were shut down, and he was publicly vilified. The Picture of Dorian Gray [1890] is his most famous work.
Download or read book Lord Arthur Savile s Crime and Other Stories written by Oscar Wilde and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2020-11-20T00:34:59Z with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of short “mystery” stories by Oscar Wilde was originally published in 1891 and was his second published collection of stories. This edition follows the 1907 edition, which was published after his death and added “The Portrait of Mr. W. H.,” a story first published in 1899. Written around the same time as The Picture of Dorian Gray and before he turned his hand to playwriting, these stories showcase the quintessential Wilde: dark irony combined with an incisive dissection of Victorian society, with just a hint of the supernatural added to amuse and engage his Victorian audience.

He is best known as a novelist, but he also worked in other fields such as the theatre, journalism, propaganda and films."Having wakened in the middle of the night, Anthony, for some reason which he could not explain, began to read the Bible. He was not by habit an ardent reader, and particularly not an ardent reader of the Bible; but he always kept a Bible on the table by his bedside, in case he might feel a desire to read it, and he never felt the desire. Now, almost before being aware of the fact, lo! he was reading the Bible,--the love-story of Amnon and Tamar."
