  A Simple Heart

  She lived in the shadow of others—quietly, dutifully, without question. Her world was small: a kitchen hearth, the rhythm of chores, a parrot who would outlive most dreams. But in that stillness, something vast took root. A devotion so complete, it blurred the line between the sacred and the simple.
  This story doesn't shout. It listens. It watches. It waits.
  And by the time it's done, you'll understand how the softest hearts carry the heaviest truths.

  In Book 8 of War and Peace, Tolstoy depicts the aftermath of the Battle of Borodino and Napoleon’s occupation of Moscow. Pierre Bezukhov wanders into the chaos, capturing a sense of purpose by attempting to assassinate Napoleon but ends up imprisoned. Prince Andrei, gravely wounded in battle, reflects on life, death, and his strained relationship with Natasha as he faces mortality. The Rostovs flee Moscow, their lives forever changed by war's devastation. Tolstoy explores themes of fate, sacrifice, and resilience, contrasting personal struggles with the broader historical narrative. Amidst ruin, glimmers of hope emerge, setting the stage for renewal and redemption.

During the night, a man in a horse carriage approaches the dog and sparrow. The sparrow alerts the man that he is going to run over the dog who is in the road, but he ignores the sparrow and runs over the dog nevertheless.

  Nathaniel Hawthorne - Six of the...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
