Summary

Improve your English without any extra studying, with Read Stories - Learn English.

“I’m sure you are very lonely in this place,” I said. As I talked, I watched him but he stayed silent. There was something strange about him and he made me nervous.
I suddenly had a horrible thought: Is he a man or a ghost?

Here are four ghost stories by the famous British writer Charles Dickens, adapted for learners of English (CEFR level B1).

We meet a signalman working on a lonely railway line, who has a terrible secret … Two men, who are the only guests in a hotel where strange things keep happening … A painter, who meets a mysterious young woman on a train and is asked to paint her portrait … An old professor with many sad memories, who is given a choice – does he want to forget his past?

    The World According to Joan Didion

    A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2023 by The Millions 
    "A wonderfully fitting tribute to Joan Didion: one that avoids simple platitudes, approaching the great writer with a fierce, probing intelligence, flawless language, and the impulse, which drove Didion's finest work, to understand the dreams of another." — Hua Hsu, Pulitzer-winning author of Stay True 
    An intimate exploration of the life, craft, and legacy of one of the most revered and influential writers, an artist who continues to inspire fans and creatives to cultivate practices of deep attention, rigorous interrogation and beautiful style. 
    Joan Didion was a writer’s writer; not only a groundbreaking journalist, essayist, novelist and screenwriter, but a keen observer who honed her sights on life’s telling details. Her insights continue to influence creatives and admirers, encouraging them to become close observers of the world, unsentimental critics, and meticulous stylists. 
    An antidote to a global view that narrows our vision to the smallest screens, The World According To Joan Didion is a meditation on the people, places, and objects that propelled Didion’s prose and an invitation to journalists, storytellers, and life adventurers to “throw themselves into the convulsions of the world,” as she once said. 
    Evelyn McDonnell, the acclaimed journalist, essayist, critic, feminist, native Californian, and university professor who regularly teaches Didion’s work, is attuned to interpret Didion’s vision for readers today. Inspired by Didion’s own words—from her works both published and unpublished—and informed by the people who knew Didion and those whose lives she shaped, The World According to Joan Didion is an illustrated journey through her life, tracing the path she carved from Sacramento, Portuguese Bend, Los Angeles, and Malibu to Manhattan, Miami, and Hawaii. McDonnell reveals the world as it was seen through Didion’s eyes and explores her work in chapters keyed to the singular physical motifs of her writing: Snake. Typewriter. Hotel. Notebook. Girl. Etc. 
    One of the first books to be published after the revered writer’s death in 2021, The World According to Joan Didion is a literary companion for those embarking on new journeys and a guide to innovative ways of being. It will radically transform the way you explore the world, and will help you answer the question as you sit in a café, or on a plane or train, pondering the future: What would Joan Didion have seen?
