  M R James - Six of the Best -...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

Let's explore this curious republic: Support Us at https://manifoldmedia.net/donate    The Curious Republic of Gondour:  As soon as I had learned to speak the language a little, I became greatly interested in the people and the system of government.  The nation had initially tried universal suffrage, but the result was unsatisfactory. It seemed to deliver all power into the hands of the ignorant and non-tax-paying classes.  A remedy was sought, and an ingenious idea emerged: not to destroy universal suffrage but to enlarge it selectively.  An amendatory clause was inserted, allowing the suffrage to be enlarged in certain cases specified by statute.  Property, character, and intellect wielded political influence for the first time, and the best men in the nation became candidates for parliament.  Money, virtue, and intelligence united to shape the political landscape .  Other Whimsical Sketches:  The collection also includes various other sketches, each with its own twist of humor, satire, or imaginative exploration.  From memories and reminiscences to royal compliments and wild interviews, Twain's wit shines through .  The Curious Republic of Gondour and Other Whimsical Sketches invites readers to step into a world where absurdity meets astute observation. Whether you seek political commentary or flights of fancy, Twain's pen weaves a delightful tapestry of imagination and wit "  Support Us at https://manifoldmedia.net/donate

  Brideshead Revisited details the journey of Charles Ryder, who, through the memories of his interactions with an aristocratic English family, encounters various episodes of conversion and experiences the illuminating power of divine grace—which, in the words of G.K. Chesterton, tugs on human hearts “with a twitch upon the thread.” Lodged between two world wars and burdened by the stark collapse of culture, Charles Ryder comes face to face with the perils of sin and confronts the inescapable yearnings of faith.
