Sinopse

Though he was on the whole a fun loving and gregarious man, during adolescence Chesterton was troubled by thoughts of suicide. In Christianity he found answers to many of the dilemmas and paradoxes of life. Throughout Heretics he provides a very personal critique of contemporary religious notions. His consistently engaging but often wayward humour is mixed liberally with daring flights of fancy and some startling turns of thought. A highly original collection of essays, providing an invaluable contribution to one of the major debates of the last century - one that continues to exercise leading thinkers in the present one.

    The international bestselling story collection. “Truth and beauty are here brought together with all the visual beauty and power of a major literary work” (Lire Magazine, France). A cast of extravagant and affecting characters lovingly portrayed by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt animates these eight contemporary fables about people in search of happiness. One of Europe's most popular and bestselling authors, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt captivates the reader with his spirited style and enchanting stories that move effortlessly from the everyday to the fantastical. The eight stories in this collection, his first to be published in English, represent his best and most imaginative storylines: from the touching and surprising love story between Balthazar, a wealthy author, and Odette, a shop clerk, to the tale of a barefooted princess; from the moving title story about a group of female prisoners in a Soviet gulag to the entertaining portrait of a perennially disgruntled perfectionist. Behind each story lies a simple, if elusive, truth: though we may be frequently blind to it, happiness is often right in front of our eyes.

    Sidney Larson always thought dark-haired, blue-eyed Brett Carmichael was sinfully sexy, to say nothing of the muscular mechanic's talent with his hands. But Sidney so didn't have time for Brett's overbearing tendencies when they were together so she broke things off. Now a chance encounter brings Brett back into her life, and Sidney can't help but notice intriguing changes in her ex. So what's stopping her from revisiting their scorching-hot chemistry? Since Sidney dumped him, Brett's made major life adjustments, thanks to therapy and a long, hard look at himself. Sure, he's still intense, but he knows how to focus his energy on his career, not on trying to control a fantastic woman like Sidney. Brett finds the sweet, generous brunette more seductive than ever, but now that he's finally worthy of her, will she be willing to give him a second chance?

    Short Story Press Presents Busy Woman Simplified by Short Story Press with Lindsey Krebs 
    What happens when you are close to reaching your dreams and being successful only to find everything falling down around you instead? Meredith is a mother and wife and dearly loves her family. She also runs her own business, Willow Tree Ranch. She finds that as she tries too hard, things begin to unravel and fall apart. 
    • Meredith is the mom of a seven year old girl, Abigail. 
    • She wants her daughter to have everything that she did not have as a child. 
    • Michael, her husband, is struggling with how Meredith has changed and finds himself avoiding her. 
    • Everyone is stressed out and the busy schedule is taking a toll. 
    • Abigail, Meredith's daughter, has an abundance of activities that doesn't allow her to just be a little girl. 
    • Meredith opens the business of her dreams and finds herself struggling, with hardly a moment to herself. 
    • What should be a happy and good part of their life is a struggle instead. 
    Success can be more than looking a certain way, or paying for, or having certain things. Sometimes people forget what really matters and it takes almost losing it all to remember what is important. Being happy is an important part of life. 
    Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
