Summary

In 'Anastasis,' John Thomas craftily intertwines elements of existential inquiry and rich, evocative prose to explore the themes of resurrection and renewal within the human spirit. The narrative delves into the lives of its characters as they navigate trauma and seek redemption, set against a backdrop of a contemporary society grappling with its own crises. Employing a non-linear storytelling style, Thomas evokes a sense of circularity that reflects the cyclical nature of life, echoing literary influences ranging from existentialist philosophers to modernist poets, thereby situating the work within a broader discourse on identity and transformation. John Thomas, an acclaimed author known for his psychological depth and poignant character studies, draws upon his own experiences with loss and recovery to craft 'Anastasis.' His literary journey has often been marked by a profound exploration of how the past shapes the present, a theme vividly illustrated in this novel. Thomas's background in psychology and literary criticism enriches his storytelling, allowing readers to engage deeply with the emotional landscapes of his characters. I highly recommend 'Anastasis' to readers looking for a thought-provoking narrative that challenges conventional notions of life and afterlife. This book will resonate with anyone seeking solace and understanding in the complexities of the human experience, making it a compelling addition to any literary collection.

    A woman growing up in a family of Russian immigrants in the 1910s seeks a thoroughly American life. 
     
     
     
    Yelena is the first American born to her Old Believer Russian Orthodox parents, who are building a life in a Pennsylvania Appalachian town. This town, in the first decades of the twentieth century, is filled with Russian transplants and a new church with a dome. Here, boys quit grade school for the coal mines and girls are married off at fourteen. The young pair up, give birth to more babies than they can feed, and make shaky starts in their new world. However, Yelena craves a different path. Will she find her happy American ending, or will a dreaded Russian ending be her fate? 
     
     
     
    In this immersive novel, Zuravleff weaves Russian fairy tales and fables into a family saga within the storied American landscape. The challenges facing immigrants—and the fragility of citizenship—are just as unsettling and surprising today as they were 100 years ago. American Ending is a poignant reminder that everything that is happening in America has already happened.

    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. 
     
    In this volume our authors take on War, the destroyer of humanity.  Our literary masters bring the true scale of the horror in sometimes tiny fragments of peoples lives to reveal its true and deep-felt effects.
