Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Stories of the New America The purpose of this book of short stories of modern American life is twofold. First, these narratives give an interpretation of certain great forces and movements in the life of this age. All the authors represented are especially quali fied to describe with force and feeling some phase of contemporary life. Thinking people everywhere real ize that it is not enough to place before young folks the bare facts in regard to community and national life. The heart must be warmed, the feelings must be stirred, before the Will can be aroused to noble action in any great movement. The first aim of this book, then, is to help to place clearly before young people the ideals of America through the medium of literature that will grip the attention and quicken the Will to action. Second, librarians have stated that there are very few compilations of modern short stories of interest and significance with which to meet the needs of young people Who turn to the libraries for help in reading. It is hoped that this book may supply the need of libraries and homes for a book of live and valuable short stories.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from 50 Best American Short Stories, 1915-1939 And there was another thing about the story which struck me as rather queer. Perhaps it is a relic of my seafaring days, but I have always been a conscientious reader of the weather reports; and I could remember no weather in the past week sufficient to shake a man out of a top, especially a man by the name of B j Orn sen a thoroughgoing seafaring name. I was destined to hear more of this in the evening from the ancient boatman who rowed me out on the upper river. He had been to sea in his day. He knew enough to wonder about this thing, even to indulge in a little superstitious awe about it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Best Short Stories of 1919: And the Yearbook of the American Short Story There is nothing more horrible than a physically ma ture body moved by a childish mind. And if the average American production repels the sensitive American reader the reason is that he is witnessing just this condition. The American is aware of the individual and social prob lems which inspire the current literatures Of Europe. He is conscious Of the conflicts Of family and sex, Of the contrasts Of poverty and wealth. Of such stuff, also, are his books. Their body is mature: but their mental and spiritual motivation remains infantile. At once, it is reduced to an abortive simplification whereby the real ity is maimed, the reader's wish fulfilled as it could only be in fairyland. But the fairyland is missing: the sweet moods Of fairyland have withered in the arid sophistica tions Of American life. And yet the authors Of this sortrof book are hailed as realists, their work is acclaimed as social criticism and American interpretation. And when at times a solitary voice emerges with the truth, its message is attacked as morbid and a lie'. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
