Synopsis

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.

    Amid the turmoil, a young boy and his father must navigate this new reality, where survival hinges on their ability to protect what is theirs. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to a remote sanctuary, forming alliances with unlikely companions and confronting the terrifying truth of a world descending into anarchy. 
    Chaos World is a gripping tale of resilience and adaptation, exploring the depths of human nature and the lengths to which we will go to preserve our humanity in the face of unrelenting darkness.
