Download or read book The Early Stories written by John Updike and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 866 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction A harvest and not a winnowing, this volume collects 103 stories, almost all of the short fiction that John Updike wrote between 1953 and 1975. “How rarely it can be said of any of our great American writers that they have been equally gifted in both long and short forms,” reads the citation composed for John Updike upon his winning the 2006 Rea Award for the Short Story. “Contemplating John Updike’s monumental achievement in the short story, one is moved to think of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, and perhaps William Faulkner—writers whose reputations would be as considerable, or nearly, if short stories had been all that they had written. From [his] remarkable early short story collections . . . through his beautifully nuanced stories of family life [and] the bittersweet humors of middle age and beyond . . . John Updike has created a body of work in the notoriously difficult form of the short story to set beside those of these distinguished American predecessors. Congratulations and heartfelt thanks are due to John Updike for having brought such pleasure and such illumination to so many readers for so many years.”

Book excerpt: The Persephone Theory By: Namir Thompson The Persephone Theory is one of the most interesting stories to read and by far one of the best books to mix comedy with horror and history. The Persephone Theory begins with the Greek myth coming to life as the goddess of harvest and fertility, Persephone, daughter of Zeus and Demeter, is taken by her uncle Hades to live in the underworld to become its queen, but is allowed to live amongst the humans possessing the one called Persephone. This Persephone is argent to those who love and hate her, and make all who stand in her way pay with their own blood. Persephone, mad at existence, leaves her children behind to face their own demands and are granted everlasting life. The children of Persephone roam on Earth, daring any and everything to stop them or die trying. They leave the message that power is being abused, people are being used as puppets, and that life is an everlasting cycle of rebirth and vengeance.

Download or read book Forlorn River written by Zane Grey and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Forlorn River' (1927) is filled with cowboys, romance, and ranches. It follows horse-catching Ben Ide, his friend Nevada and their loyal Native American companion Modoc, as Ben attempts to better his reputation and win over his childhood sweetheart, Ina Blaine. As horse catching turns into cattle rustling, Ina Blaine is forced to defend Ben against her father, who has recently come in possession of a large amount of money. It doesn't bode well for Ben Ide. Distrust follows Ben when Mr. Blaine, Ina's father, and his companion, Les Setter, head out to steal Ben's land. And this is only the beginning of a great streak of trouble. This lesser-known prequel to 'Nevada' is filled with vivid descriptions and memorable characters. It is the perfect introduction to Western fiction. Zane Grey (1872-1939) was a popular American author, best known for his adventure novels and short stories. The topics of the American West and the Frontier were central to his writings, and Grey became engrossed within the Western genre. Many of his novels were written from the perspective and experience gained from his hunting and traveling trips all around the West. Some of Grey’s most famous novels include 'Riders of the Purple Sage', 'The Last Trail' and 'Valley of Wild Horses'. His novels and stories were adapted to more than 100 movie and television productions with the most well-known being the movie Riders of the Purple Sage (1996) starring Ed Harris, Amy Madigan, and Henry Thomas.
