Editorial: Accent Graphics Communications

Sinopsis

The book about the laser steps made by me to be in my house on Dancing Cloud Ave. The reader will learn how the geographical center of the USSR was opened, and how the son of the Minister of Defense, drunk from the sound of pouring vodka, supervised the construction of the first Russian laser locator. Together with the academicians, the reader will visit to the military laser training ground and see how the helicopter falls when the laser beam hits its air intake. The reader will be able to observe how the two Russian Nobel laureates, the inventors of the laser, hated each other and find out how both deputies of the General Designer, who worked on the creation of military laser systems, died. The reader will be introduced to the Confessions of a Colonel of the State Security Committee, Deputy General Designer for the regime of secrecy. Finally, the reader will learn how an unexpected event helped me move from creating laser weapons systems to working on new laser medical devices, such as laser punches, and fine arts, such as holograms and laser volumetric images in transparent materials.

I Hear You're Rich

Diane Williams

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.

Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

Franz Kafka

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.

Whether Central Europe is part of East or West or both it is undeniable that it is also unto itself. Its stories and literature are amongst the boldest narratives anywhere. These authors have helped established the incredible literary heritage of all our ages.
