Beschreibung

The Grand Library of Treasure Hunts: A 45-Book Collection offers an eclectic range of adventures weaving through the nuanced landscapes of youthful curiosity and daring quests. This extensive anthology delves into the multifaceted theme of 'treasure hunts,' presenting a spectrum of narratives that vary from thrilling escapades across uncharted territories to introspective journeys of self-discovery. The works contained within this collection not only traverse diverse literary stylesâ€"from the didactic tones of moral tales to the whimsical playfulness of juvenile fictionâ€"but also echo the timeless tradition of storytelling that captivates the imagination while imparting invaluable life lessons. Assembled by an impressive array of authors including L. Frank Baum, Upton Sinclair, and Horatio Jr. Alger, this anthology showcases the rich contributions of eminent and emerging voices across different literary epochs. Each author contributes their unique perspective, whether it's grounded in the realism of Sinclair's social commentaries or the fanciful worlds imagined by Baum. The anthology aligns itself with notable historical and cultural movements, capturing the essence of each era's spirit through its tales. The collective experiences of these storytellers intertwine, providing readers with an enriched understanding of the universal allure and cultural significance inherent within the theme of treasure hunts. I recommend The Grand Library of Treasure Hunts to readers eager to explore a myriad of perspectives and narrative styles brought together under the captivating theme of elusive adventures. This collection offers not only educational enrichment but also fosters an engaging dialogue among the disparate voices of its authors, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to immerse themselves in tales of intrigue and excitement. Through this anthology, readers are encouraged to experience the manifold insights into human resilience and imagination that make treasure hunts a timeless literary motif."}

    Winner of the 2015 Best Translated Book Award 
     
     
     
    In Mother River, Can Xue, one of China's most daring and visionary writers, invites us into a surreal landscape where reality is as fluid as a river itself. This collection of thirteen stories weaves together vivid, dreamlike narratives that challenge our perceptions of time, identity, and existence. 
     
     
     
    Through her signature blend of the absurd and the profound, Can Xue explores the fragile boundaries between the known and unknown, between humanity and nature. In these tales, a man tries to chase down an elusive golden peacock, a woman communicates with mysterious, shifting forms of light,  and the river that runs through a small village seems to pulse with memories of its own. 
     
     
     
    Surreal, provocative, and unique, Mother River reinforces Can Xue's status as one of the most rewarding and complex writers working today—and a perennial favorite to win the Nobel Prize.

    This is a short poetic story based on characters from the Magicians series. 
    I am beyond life, 
    I am beyond strife, 
    I am long beyond my last breath, 
    I'm among the angelic host, 
    some call me a ghost, 
    I awoke one day dead or as good as dead, 
    I knew not how it was even possible me being a ghost 
    as I was the king of the grim reapers, so I cannot die in a normal way as this to become a ghost.
