Download or read book Modern Greek Stories Classic Reprint written by Demetra Vaka and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Greek Stories Of the writers whose stories have been selected for this volume of translations, Polylas, Bizyenos, and Papadiamantes are dead; all the others are living. Without exception, they have cultivated other forms of literary expression beside the short story. Most of them are leading figures in the literary world of Modern Greece. It is worthy of note that the writers of the Sin of My Mother and of The Frightened Soul come from Thrace, the original home of the cult of Dionysus and of the Drama, which after almost five hundred years of Turkish misrule is to return to Greece again. Chrono logically, Polylas' Forgiveness is the oldest story in the collection; the most recent is The Frightened Soul, which appeared in the pages of a Greek magazine in Constantinople, started after the occupation of the city by the Allies in 1918.

Download or read book Beyond the Broken Statues written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary aim of this anthology is to present in English translation and chronologically arranged representative authors who illustrate the development of this genre in Greece from the beginning of the mid-1800s to 1950. Since literature is also the product of an individual country with its own political and cultural history, it is only natural that the short story in Greece possessed its own distinct characteristics. The stories chosen for this volume, therefore, bring to the reader a greater understanding both of the Greek temperament and of its special contribution to consciousness and literature.

Book excerpt: The first anthology to present the entire range of ancient Greek and Roman stories- from myths and fairy tales to jokes Captured centaurs and satyrs, talking animals, people who suddenly change sex, men who give birth, the temporarily insane and the permanently thick-witted, delicate sensualists, incompetent seers, a woman who remembers too much, a man who cannot laugh-these are just some of the colorful characters who feature in the unforgettable stories that ancient Greeks and Romans told in their daily lives. Together they created an incredibly rich body of popular oral stories that include, but range well beyond, mythology-from heroic legends, fairy tales, and fables to ghost stories, urban legends, and jokes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time fairy tales weren't meant just for children, and neither is Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales. This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. Instead, we have pretty maids and old crones; crafty women and bad girls; enchantresses and midwives; rascal aunts and odd sisters. This fabulous celebration of strong minds, low cunning, black arts and dirty tricks could only have been collected by the unique and much-missed Angela Carter. Illustrated throughout with original woodcuts.
