Download or read book Locked Door and Other Stories written by Rosario de Guzman Lingat and published by Bughaw is. This book was released on 2017 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Locked Door and Other Stories collects Rosario de Guzman-Lingat's short stories chosen for the various ways they explore the female experience in all its complexity. They feature women as protagonists who, despite life's numerous blows, refuse to give in, as they strive mightily to make sense of their lives fraught with difficulties. There are no happy endings in Lingat's fiction. There is only a steadfast, clear-eyed view of what it means to live in an unjust system where women find themselves victims. The "locked door" is symptomatic of the almost impenetrable barrier that women must force open to gain their freedom.

Download or read book The wax Statue and Other Stories written by Rafat Farzana and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE WAX STATUE AND OTHER STORIES is a translated version of the short stories written by Jeelani Bano. She is one of the most reputed literary figures in SAWNET, known for her supremacy in exposing the flaws of society before the readers. Jeelani Bano keeps the pedal to the metal.Her stories are a mirror of the society of those days,which are relevant even today. Her stories like 'Moum ki Maryam' won great acclaim by the readers and literary men of that age. In her stories she explores the diaspora feelings and the exploitation of the poor. She is a critic of social evils, her vim and vigour portrays the misery and suffering of women in a male dominated society. Her stories are solely objective. She is never didactic in her tone and allows the readers to judge. Her approach is multidimensional and not a storm in a tea cup. Hence their translation into English will spread her message far and wide and serve the purpose of her writings. My aim in translating her short stories into English is to convey the message to the non Urdu readers and to enliven her literary talent in other languages.

From the tale of the businessman who rans over pedestrians to let off steam to a serial killer being pushed to kill more by his lover, this collection is a true gem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential literary collection of H. P. Lovecraft’s ten finest short stories, from the celebrated editor of the two-volume New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft. An indispensable collection of the best of one of literature’s “most critically fascinating and yet enigmatic figures” (Alan Moore), featuring H. P. Lovecraft’s most bone-chilling tales, including: “Dagon”, “The Outsider”, “The Music of Erich Zann”, “The Rats in the Walls”, “The Call of Cthulhu", “The Colour Out of Space”, “The Dunwich Horror”, “The Shadow over Innsmouth”, “The Shadow Out of Time” and “The Haunter of the Dark”. Though he died an unknown, dejected pulp-magazine writer in 1937, Howard Phillips Lovecraft is now considered the first great “genius of weird fiction” (Peter Straub). There is no better guide through the peculiarities of his universe than Leslie S. Klinger, whose work as annotator of the “exciting and definitive” (Danielle Trussoni, New York Times Book Review) New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft has proven him a leading Lovecraft scholar. Keenly aware of the author’s inspiration of “dozens—hundreds—of stories written by others playing in [his] galactic sandbox,” Klinger now presents this essential reader’s edition for both fanatics and newcomers to the canon. Equipped with explanatory annotations and sharp historical insight, this highly accessible?collection features Lovecraft’s ten most profound and unnerving short stories. From the early tale “Dagon” to the mature and sprawling “The Haunter of the Dark,” these expertly curated stories built a Lovecraftian sense of dread that has reverberated in the world of horror literature for generations: that all of us are “outsiders” in the universe.

Download or read book The Steppe and Other Stories written by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of Chekhov's works to be published in a serious literary journal, `The Steppe', with its masterly account of a spectacular thunderstorm, signifies his maturation as a writer of short stories. While the majority of his tales focus on the privileged classes, this selection shows that Chekhov never forgot his origins as the son of a failed provincial grocer, and characters as varied as the brutal soldier in `Gusev', the downtrodden old constable in `On Official Business', and the bemused peasants in `New Villa' testify to the power and flexibility of his art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He had lived there since that day when the fisherman had pulled him half drowned out of the sea. He could never remember where he had come from, or what had happened. All that he ever knew was that far out by the nets in the early morning they had come upon him and had brought him in to shore. Naturally, the fishermen had questioned him; but his vagueness, his absolute lack of belief that he had ever been anything before they had snatched him from the waters, had frightened them so that since that day they had left him severely alone. Fishing folk have strange, superstitious ideas about certain things. He had borne the full weight of their credulous awe. Perhaps because he, himself, thought as they thought. That he was something come from the sea, and of the sea, and always belonging to the sea....FROM THE BOOKS.
