A pope who cannot die; a female pathologist with a morbid fascination for a dead youth; an ancient Teutonic goddess; furies, chimeras, henchmen of death and Death himself - all of these await the reader in this collection of sinister tales.
There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes. Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. From their pens to your your ears.Ver livro

When we read or listen, words can have a transforming effect. Our mood can alter in the space of a few sentences from joy to sadness. And not just our mood. These words can affect us physically, they can engage our emotions and even in their sadness bring a lump to our throat and tears to our eyes. Sometimes the relief can be palpable. Our authors, from Anton Chekhov, Stephen Crane, Willa Cather, Katherine Mansfield and a wealth of others are well aware of what their talents will evoke. Genius has many names. 1 - Short Stories To Make You Cry - An Introduction 2 - Vanka by Anton Chekhov 3 - A Dark Brown Dog by Stephen Crane 4 - Suicides by Guy de Maupassant 5 - The Life of Ma Parker by Katherine Mansfield 6 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev 7 - Paul's Case by Willa Cather 8 - Hands by Sherwood Anderson 9 - Silence by Leonid Andreyev 10 - The Stones of the Village by Alice Dunbar Nelson 11 - Hide And Seek or Pliatki by Fyodor SologubVer livro
