Sinossi

Discover the timeless stories and grand romances from literary classics that helped create and define this beloved genre. In the #EnemiesToLovers Classics Collection, you'll find spirited characters clashing with wit and passion long before realizing they're destined for one another. These tales are beloved for the delicious tension that arises when two people who seemingly despise each other spark instead with hidden attraction. Watching the walls of antagonism crumble and transform into ardent devotion offers a thrill that never fails to captivate readers, bridging centuries and cultural differences.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is the quintessential example: Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy begin in mutual disdain, only to discover that pride and prejudice mask genuine admiration. In Fanny Burney's The Wanderer, a mysterious heroine faces skeptics who regard her with suspicion, leading to spirited confrontations that gradually uncover deeper affections. North and South by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell follows Margaret Hale and John Thornton, whose clashing ideals about class and industry ignite a fiery attraction neither dares to name. Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne Shirley engages in lively quarrels with Gilbert Blythe throughout Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, and Anne of the Island, yet their rivalry hides an undeniable fondness that steadily grows stronger. Middlemarch by George Eliot features complex social struggles and intellectual disagreements, offering smaller yet potent "enemies to lovers" moments that highlight how respect can emerge from friction.
William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing provides an enduring template: Beatrice and Benedick trade pointed barbs so cleverly that even they cannot deny the chemistry crackling between them. The Wild Irish Girl by Lady Sydney Morgan sets an English aristocrat against a proud Irish princess, their cultural divides fueling fierce debates that eventually kindle an unexpected bond. In J.M. Barrie's The Little Minister, a headstrong gypsy girl and a staid Scottish minister find themselves at odds before realizing fate has other plans. Samuel Hopkins Adams's The Clarion tackles social reform and journalism, pitting determined opponents against one another until professional rivalry morphs into an intoxicating connection. Finally, E. M. Hull's The Sheik portrays a captive and captor locked in a dance of hostility and longing, a controversial yet pivotal example of fiery conflict evolving into all-consuming devotion.
These classics show that from verbal sparring to outright feuds, adversarial beginnings can pave the way for the most powerful revelations of the heart. With their razor-sharp banter, unyielding pride, and eventual surrender to deeper feeling, each story proves that when opposites collide, true passion is never far behind.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    The Century moves on decade by decade. War once again scars Europe, in America wagons roll west.  Social unrest continues even as conditions improve markedly for the few and only a little for the many.  The list of problems and of challenges described by our authors is long and their stories once again full of valuable and telling insights.

    Cup of Gold

    John Steinbeck

    The first novel from American literary great John Steinbeck (Grapes of Wrath) tells the fictionalized story of the illustrious 17th century pirate Captain Henry Morgan  
    Henry Morgan is a young boy growing up in a small town in Wales. One day, a sailor returns to regale Henry with tales of the West Indies, and the glory that awaits those adventuresome enough to go. Henry, dazzled, quickly finds a place aboard a ship heading to the islands, thus setting himself on the path to becoming the brutal and fearsome pirate Captain Morgan.  
    The portrait Steinbeck paints of Morgan (with some artistic license taken) is of a complex, lustful, and largely unhappy man, set in evocative locales that are laced with traces of magical realism. Though Morgan’s life was filled with blood and violence, Steinbeck portrays him as a thoughtful and intelligent commander of men, whose tragic flaw is an unquenchable lust for great accomplishments combined with a misunderstanding of what great accomplishments actually are.  
    Through his cunning he repeatedly attains the ever-grander victories he seeks—but he quickly discovers what so many before and after him have discovered: that achievement is not always as satisfying as the quest to achieve.  
    Publisher's Note: Originally published in 1929, Cup of Gold is a literary work that reflects the time in which it was published—both its good and its ill. The original text contains wording and terminology that represent outdated cultural beliefs regarding race and ethnicity. In the interest of preserving and documenting both the faults and highlights of literary history—an instrumental, crucial function of works entering the public domain—this text is unedited and uncensored in this audiobook recording. Please proceed with discretion.

    What might William Burroughs be doing in Tahrir Square at the height of the Egyptian revolution of 2011? Was there really a radical atheist insurgency in New Cairo? Where in extant science fiction do people go when they die? In these Cairo-focused stories written at the height of the Arab Spring, in its wake and its ruins, the reader is led by a colorful cast of characters through a hypnagogic urbanscape pulsating with the spectres of post-political Islam and failed revolution. Whether it is an alien abduction in “Lexi” or a Cairo-centered, futuristic retelling of an Old Testament narrative in the titular story “Emissaries” - the stories here play with notions of contemporary Egyptianness to evoke a human circus of possibility and despair that is undeniably universal at its core. 
    Emissaries, and other short stories is the first short story collection of Youssef Rakha's work. The short stories within this collection appeared first in the following journals: 
    The Boy Jihadi (Guernica) 
    Thus Spoke Che Nawwarah (Kenyon Review Online) 
    Emissaries (The Puritan) 
    Nawwah (Miranda Literary Magazine – defunct) 
    Qaf (Mashallah News) 
    The Secret History of Atheism (Minor Literatures) 
    A Father’s Counsel (BULL) 
    The End Night (Litro) 
    “Lexi” and “The Trees Are Houses” are published for the first time. “The Trees Are Houses” was written especially for this publication.

    In 'The Thimble', Lawrence moves to the world of the affluent middle classes, a world to which he perhaps aspired. The story is a touching one of a disfigured husband returning home from the war to a beautiful new wife. The thimble of the story can be seen to represent purposeless, surface beauty, which has no function. The husband casts the thimble away but can this marriage survive the surface damage and find a deeper meaning?
