  'The Lovely Lady' is a fine observation of a life - the lovely lady of the title - which thrives by sucking the life out of others. The two victims escape by a somewhat melodramatic and comical means but in the process destroy the lovely lady and form what will probably be a dull and passionless union.

  Bedtime Stories For Adults -...

  Oscar Wilde

  As a child being read to was one of the greatest joys imaginable.  A loved one would start a tale whilst you were all cosy warm in bed with the lights nodding off.  Anything could happen but sleep would come and dreams would start and all was good with the world.  Adults too long for reassurance, for comfort, for calm.  Sometimes they may get that.  But with classic authors such as Oscar Wilde, O Henry, Saki, Rabindranath Tagore and many others they may not.  Expect the unexpected.

  Everything Begins and Ends at...

  Benjamin Alire Saenz

  Benjamin Alire Sáenz's stories reveal how all borders—real, imagined, sexual, human, the line between dark and light, addict and straight—entangle those who live on either side. Take, for instance, the Kentucky Club on Avenida Juárez two blocks south of the Rio Grande. It's a touchstone for each of Sáenz's stories. His characters walk by, they might go in for a drink or to score, or they might just stay there for a while and let their story be told. Sáenz knows that the Kentucky Club, like special watering holes in all cities, is the contrary to borders. It welcomes Spanish and English, Mexicans and gringos, poor and rich, gay and straight, drug addicts and drunks, laughter and sadness, and even despair. It's a place of rich history and good drinks and cold beer and a long polished mahogany bar. Some days it smells like piss. "I'm going home to the other side." That's a strange statement, but you hear it all the time at the Kentucky Club.

  The Death of Ivan Ilyich

  Leo Tolstoy

  "In the end, it is love alone that matters, the love that we give and receive."
  
  Considered one of the masterpieces of Tolstoy's later fiction, The Death of Ivan Ilyich tells the story of Ivan Ilyich Golovin, a high-ranking judge in the Russian judicial system. His life appears successful by societal standards: he has a respectable job, a family, and a comfortable lifestyle until he is diagnosed with a terminal condition which eventually confines him to his bed. Here, he reflects on his life and the relationships around him and comes to realise that he has not truly lived and has instead followed a path dictated by society that has not brought him happiness or contentment. Brought face to face with his mortality, he experiences a revelation about the importance of authentic love and human connection.
  Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and social reformer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. He is best known for his epic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both celebrated for their intricate character development and profound exploration of moral dilemmas and human nature. In his later years, Tolstoy experienced a spiritual awakening which led him to reject materialism and embrace a life of simplicity, seeking to align his life with his beliefs about non-violence and compassion. Tolstoy's legacy endures not only through his literary masterpieces but also through his profound impact on literature and philosophy.
