Beschreibung

In "The Complete Short Story Collections: Chronicles of Avonlea + Further Chronicles of Avonlea + The Road to Yesterday + Uncollected Short Stories," Lucy Maud Montgomery invites readers into the enchanting world of Avonlea, where everyday life is interwoven with whimsical charm and poignant realities. This compendium showcases her mastery of short fiction, characterized by lush descriptions, keen psychological insights, and a profound understanding of human emotions. Thematically, Montgomery explores the complexities of community life, the innocence of childhood, and the bittersweet nature of love and loss, making her work a rich tapestry of both joy and melancholy reflective of early 20th-century Canadian society. Lucy Maud Montgomery, a pioneering figure in Canadian literature, drew inspiration from her own upbringing on Prince Edward Island, where the landscapes and local lore profoundly influenced her storytelling. Her personal struggles, including her battle with mental health and the limitations imposed on women during her time, fueled her creativity and empathy for her characters. Montgomery'Äôs deep-seated love for her home and its people shines through in her narratives, offering readers a glimpse into the pastoral beauty of her native land along with its intricate social dynamics. This collection is a must-read for fans of literary fiction and those who appreciate the subtle artistry of storytelling. It is particularly recommended for readers seeking solace and inspiration in stories that celebrate the ordinary yet extraordinary experiences of life. Montgomery's unmistakable wit, warmth, and wisdom resonate across generations, making these stories timeless treasures of literary heritage.

    Richard Bernard Heldmann was born on 12th October 1857, in St Johns Wood, North London.  
    By his early 20’s Heldmann began publishing fiction for the myriad magazine publications that had sprung up and were eager for good well-written content.  
    In October 1882, Heldmann was promoted to co-editor of Union Jack, a popular magazine, but his association with the publication ended suddenly in June 1883. It appears Heldman was prone to issuing forged cheques to finance his lifestyle.  In April 1884 He was sentenced to 18 months hard labour.  
    In order to be well away from the scandal and damage this had caused to his reputation Heldmann adopted a pseudonym on his release from jail. Shortly thereafter the name ‘Richard Marsh’ began to appear in the literary periodicals. The use of his mother’s maiden name as part of it seems both a release and a lifeline. 
    A stroke of very good fortune arrived with his novel The Beetle published in 1897.  This would turn out to be his greatest commercial success and added some much-needed gravitas to his literary reputation.   
    Marsh was a prolific writer and wrote almost 80 volumes of fiction as well as many short stories, across many genres from horror and crime to romance and humour.

    Henry David Thoreau warned us that our improved technology merely gives us an improved means to a deteriorating end. Our technology can be an excellent means to time saving and improving outcomes, but we must consider the downsides created by our own biases. In Code Red, Thomas examines several emerging technologies and policies driving technological advances. He peers into vehicular tracking technology, digital payments and currencies, and the proliferation of artificial intelligence in aspects of our life. How can such technologies be a harm to society? Code Red examines this question with a series of short stories warning us about blindly embracing technology.

    'Wintry Peacock' is, on the surface, a tale of misdirected love or even irresponsible love, the relationship between the wife and the peacock being the most strange but it is the conspiracy of the two men in the story to prevent the truth coming out about the husband's love child that is most disturbing. The innocent are punished and the guilty get away with their sins and the author goes laughing down the hill at the end of the story.
