Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Tales by Seven Authors A lady, herself an authoress, was some years ago introduced as a contributor to Snamn's magazine, at that time conducted by the Editor of the present volume. Owing to cir cumstances, into which it is unnecessary to enter, the precarious income of a magazine writer was the chief resource on which this lady had to rely, for the support of herself and her young family, although there was good reason to hope, that if the effects of an imme diate pressure could be averted, a brighter prospect lay before her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Stories Their work in the Preface, and from this time honoured usage I shall not depart, although I intend my remarks shall be as brief as possible. One of my reasons for publishing this volume is, that it has appeared to me that short stories are required just as much as long ones. There is many a hard-worked man, aye, and woman too, who, on being asked if they have read this or that novel, answer deprecatingly (of themselves) Well, no l The story is not a short one, and I haven't the time. These are people busy in the world Of Kunst und Wissenschaft, Members of Parliament, Doctors, Lawyers, Theologians, etc. Stories are written for the children of men, novels are written for those who have 'much time on their hands. But what of those sons and daughters Of Earth whose every hour is precious, and who have little to spend on novel reading For these especially I have written my. Seven Short Stories, seeing that they are neglected by the rest Of writers. It may be argued that my intentions are better than 'my work. To this I reply that I did my best, and that not to instruct and enlighten, but to amuse, and if I succeed in diverting the work-harrassed brain, be It but.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Years, and Other Tales The furniture was handsome, substantial, and good, and a constitutional indolence, hereditary in the lady proprietresses of the place, had resisted the insidious innovations of fashion. Accordingly the museum of Cluny itself scarcely boasted more treasures in carved cabinets, inlaid tables, precious china, and curiosities of all sorts, than did the rooms of Madame la Roche, who was lazily glad to be possessed of so many valna bles, but who in reality, and save for the sake of old family associations, did not care one rush about them all.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Years, and Other Tales, Vol. 3 of 3 This happy existence was at length dis turbed by the introduction of a new desk and stool in the quiet bureau, where for years no stranger had appeared. The owner of these portentous signs added to Monsieur Theophile Durand's sense of dismay by his unofficial appearance; he was a very young man, with something resembling a moustache struggling into existence above his upper lip. He had a thin, sallow, and melancholy, not to say morose-looking, face, and a slender droop ing figure. All that Monsieur Theophile could ascertain of him was, that he rejoiced in the name of Auguste Tondu, and entered the office as surnumeraire that is to say that he belonged to the class of unpaid employes, condemned to wait for their salary until death or promotion shall make some place vacant in the ranks of their companions. The desk of the surnumeraire faced that of Theophile, to stare at whom seemed from the very first day his chief task and occupation. He did, indeed, occasionally vary it by sucking and nibbling every pen that came in his way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Seven Basic Plots written by Christopher Booker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-11-11 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable and monumental book at last provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old riddle of whether there are only a small number of 'basic stories' in the world. Using a wealth of examples, from ancient myths and folk tales via the plays and novels of great literature to the popular movies and TV soap operas of today, it shows that there are seven archetypal themes which recur throughout every kind of storytelling. But this is only the prelude to an investigation into how and why we are 'programmed' to imagine stories in these ways, and how they relate to the inmost patterns of human psychology. Drawing on a vast array of examples, from Proust to detective stories, from the Marquis de Sade to E.T., Christopher Booker then leads us through the extraordinary changes in the nature of storytelling over the past 200 years, and why so many stories have 'lost the plot' by losing touch with their underlying archetypal purpose. Booker analyses why evolution has given us the need to tell stories and illustrates how storytelling has provided a uniquely revealing mirror to mankind's psychological development over the past 5000 years. This seminal book opens up in an entirely new way our understanding of the real purpose storytelling plays in our lives, and will be a talking point for years to come.

Kate herself was a mountainous woman, tall, bulky, big-boned, almost masculine in appearance. Her face looked as if it had been roughly hacked out of a bit of wood, her skin was like hide, and her hair like coarse black linen thread her voice was loud and gruff - altogether an alarm ing personality.
