Sinossi

In "Syd Belton: The Boy Who Would Not Go to Sea," George Manville Fenn crafts an engaging narrative that explores themes of individuality, familial expectation, and the quest for self-identity against the backdrop of Victorian England. Through vivid descriptions and a lively prose style, Fenn immerses readers in the life of young Syd, who defies societal norms by rejecting the maritime path set by his seafaring family. The story deftly juxtaposes the allure and dangers of the sea with the comforts of home, embodying the Victorian tension between adventure and domestication in a young boy's formative years. George Manville Fenn, a prolific author and devoted educator, drew upon his extensive experiences in the maritime world and his understanding of youth to create this compelling tale. Born in 1831, Fenn's affinity for sea life would greatly influence his narratives, allowing him to realistically depict the allure of the ocean while simultaneously portraying its perils. Fenn's background in teaching also lends depth to his characterization and moral undertones, as he seeks to impart valuable lessons through his protagonists' journeys. "Syd Belton" is a must-read for those who cherish stories of resilience and personal growth. Fenn'Äôs ability to combine thrilling adventure with deep moral inquiry invites readers of all ages to reflect on their own choices and aspirations. This rich, illustrative narrative will resonate particularly with young adults navigating their own paths, making it a timeless addition to conversations about ambition and self-discovery.

    Diane Williams, "godmother of flash fiction" (The Paris Review), returns with thirty-three short, brilliant stories. 
     
     
     
    In Williams's stories, life is newly alive and dangerous; whether she is writing about an affair, a request for money, an afternoon in a garden, or the simple act of carrying a cake from one room to the next, she offers us beautiful and unsettling new ways of seeing everyday life. In perfectly honed sentences, with a sly and occasionally wild wit, Williams shows us how any moment of any day can open onto disappointment, pleasure, and possibility.

Nampay’s tour is a legend among the roadies, blues-men and women, groupies, and many others in the western world. Nampay’s innocence guides him through the tours as much as his natural aptitude for music and his peaceful personality.

    This collection of 21 short stories was gathered from all of my present works and some that were never published before, and in fact just recently completed. 
    There are some science fiction stories in there, some ironic, others mysterious and yet others just plain silly. I'll let you decide which is which. 
    I hope that you find it a quick and enjoyable read. Thank You for choosing this book to read.
