Download or read book The Complete Short Stories written by Roald Dahl and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Short Stories of Roald Dahl in the first of two unsettling and sinister volumes. 'They are brutal, these stories, and yet you finish reading each one with a smile, or maybe even a hollow laugh, certainly a shiver of gratification, because the conclusion always seems so right' Charlie Higson, from his introduction. Roald Dahl is one of the most popular writers of the modern age, effortlessly writing for children and adults alike. In this, the first of two volumes chronologically collecting all his published adult short stories, we see how Dahl began by using his experiences in the war to write fiction but quickly turned to his powerful and dark imagination to pen some of the most unsettling and disquieting tales ever written. In 27 stories, written between 1944 and 1953, we encounter such classic tales as 'Man from the South', featuring a wager with appalling consequences; 'Lamb to the Slaughter', in which a wife murders her husband yet has a novel idea for throwing the police off the scent; and in 'The Sound Machine', the horrific truth about plants is revealed. Enter the sinister, twisted world of Roald Dahl: whether you're young or old, you'll never want to leave. 'Roald Dahl is one of the few writers I know whose work can accurately be described as addictive' Irish Times 'The great magician' Spectator Look out for Volume Two, introduced by Anthony Horowitz Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.

Brandon Stephenson is a YouTube star and former fat kid looking to rest, relax, and get laid at Pacific Palms Resort, a very gay and very expensive tropical paradise. A lazy blow job on the beach from one man leads to sex in the sand with a hunky Sri Lankan the next day. But, in order to get what he really wants and fall in love, he’s going to have to realize that he’s not a fat kid any more. He’s a hunky adult. And if he really wants Julian Bailey, the resort’s Jamaican director of fitness with rock hard abs, he’s going to have to go and get him. A Second Look What does it take to see someone as the beautiful man they have become? Matt has loved his handsome best friend Zack since they were kids, but after many years of watching him chase and bed anybody but Matt, he has locked that love away into a small corner of his heart. When Zack invites Matt to go on a trip to Pacific Palms, a luxurious all-gay resort, Matt is constantly reminded that Zack is his friend. Zack is just not into him that way, but it doesn’t matter. Lots of other men are into Matt and his hairy muscular chest. When Zack realizes how many men are into his old friend, he starts to see him in a new light. Matt is no longer the dorky kid who ate dirt. He’s the man Zack was always meant to be with. Zack tries to make a move. Matt rebuffs him. He doesn’t want to be another one of Zack’s conquests. He wants more. Zack has to decide if he is ready for more with the man who he never thought of as a lover. Matt needs to trust that Zack’s feelings for him are real. Coming Back to You Can two men falling out of love fall in love all over again? Ray Townsend and Ben Ritchey have been together for many years, but can’t seem to connect any more. They’ve gotten married. They’ve opened up their relationship, but nothing seems to bring back the spark they once had. They both hope a trip to Pacific Palms, an exclusive all-gay resort, will re-ignite their flame. Once there, Ray runs into Danny, a love from many years ago who makes it clear that they could start again where they left off. Ben also meets a handsome new man who may be interested in more. Together, Ray and Ben have to decide if their many years of love and passion are worth saving. Be With Me Can two very different men find love with one another? Linc came to Pacific Palms, an exclusive all-gay resort, just to hang out with his friends, Rufus and Joey. He’s hoping a week of sun and fun will heal his heart that was broken by a divorce he didn’t want. His friends don’t understand why he won’t hook up, but he’s just not sure that’s his style. Adam, a handsome hairy handyman, is at Pacific Palms for one reason. He’s there to have sex. Love may happen, but he’s not going to chase it. When these two men meet, the connection is instant but inexplicable. It doesn’t make sense. Together, they learn to heal their wounds and create a love that is unlike anything they’ve ever experienced.

Download or read book The Classic Short Story 1870 1925 written by Florence Goyet and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to construct a nuanced narrative or complex character in the constrained form of the short story has sometimes been seen as the ultimate test of an author's creativity. Yet during the time when the short story was at its most popular - the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries - even the greatest writers followed strict generic conventions that were far from subtle. This expanded and updated translation of Florence Goyet's influential La Nouvelle, 1870-1925: Description d'un genre à son apogée (Paris, 1993) is the only study to focus exclusively on this classic period across different continents. Ranging through French, English, Italian, Russian and Japanese writing - particularly the stories of Guy de Maupassant, Henry James, Giovanni Verga, Anton Chekhov and Akutagawa Ry?nosuke - Goyet shows that these authors were able to create brilliant and successful short stories using the very simple 'tools of brevity' of that period. In this challenging and far-reaching study, Goyet looks at classic short stories in the context in which they were read at the time: cheap newspapers and higher-end periodicals. She demonstrates that, despite the apparent intention of these stories to question bourgeois ideals, they mostly affirmed the prejudices of their readers. In doing so, her book forces us to re-think our preconceptions about this 'forgotten' genre.

Download or read book The Complete Short Stories written by Premchand and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Munshi Premchand, widely lauded as the greatest Hindi fiction writer of the twentieth century, wrote close to 300 short stories over the course of a prolific career spanning three decades. His range and diversity were limitless as he tackled themes of romance and satire, gender politics and social inequality, with unmatched skill and compassion. By turns poignant, acerbic, comical and tragic, many of his stories powerfully invoke the countryside-its pastoral simplicity as well as its harsh realities-while others capture the hopes and anxieties that accompany life in a teeming city where the underdog and the exploiter are caught in an age-old conflict. For the first time ever, Penguin Classics brings together Premchand's entire short-fiction oeuvre for the delight of the English-speaking world. Along with M. Asaduddin's illuminating Introduction, this pathbreaking anthology features several stories not hitherto available either in Hindi or Urdu. Also included are comprehensive notes that provide the publication history of each story-highlighting the differences, sometimes significant and radical, between the Hindi and the Urdu versions of the same story-as well as a definitive chronology, making this a truly singular collection.
