Beschreibung

American master Erskine Caldwell’s powerful classic stories of anger, humor, insight, and hope for the South  Author of some of the most widely banned fiction of the twentieth century, Erskine Caldwell had a talent for striking a nerve. In this collection of nearly one hundred stories, the full depth and scope of his talent is on display, including his trademark biting satire as well as his skill at rendering deeply moving portraits of his native South. In a career that spanned over six decades, Caldwell produced stories that serve to document a changing society, from the dehumanizing trials of the Great Depression through the transformative battle to desegregate the South. Taken together, his short fiction reveals a voice that remains essential for readers hoping to understand the American experience.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erskine Caldwell including rare photos and never-before-seen documents courtesy of the Dartmouth College Library.

The Lonely God - A Short Story

In the quiet halls of the British Museum, a forgotten stone idol sits unnoticed on a high shelf—its features eroded by time, its purpose long-lost. But for Frank Oliver, a lonely man recently returned to England, the little god becomes something more: a symbol of connection in a world that has passed him by. 
When Frank notices a young woman visiting the same statue, day after day, something begins to shift. In their quiet devotion to a nameless figure, two strangers begin to find the possibility of something else—companionship, perhaps even love. 
Agatha Christie’s The Lonely God is a tender and thoughtful departure from her usual crime stories. In this short tale, she explores isolation, identity, and unexpected human connection with quiet grace. 
Perfect for fans of classic literature, character-driven stories, and emotional fiction with a hint of mystery.

Henry David Thoreau warned us that our improved technology merely gives us an improved means to a deteriorating end. Our technology can be an excellent means to time saving and improving outcomes, but we must consider the downsides created by our own biases. In Code Red, Thomas examines several emerging technologies and policies driving technological advances. He peers into vehicular tracking technology, digital payments and currencies, and the proliferation of artificial intelligence in aspects of our life. How can such technologies be a harm to society? Code Red examines this question with a series of short stories warning us about blindly embracing technology.
