  • A Sentimental Journey - cover

    A Sentimental Journey

    Laurence Sterne

    Published just months before his death in 1768, A Sentimental Journey is Sterne’s lightly fictionalised account of his own European travels; and being Sterne, it is more about digressions, misunderstandings and risqué jokes than the places he visits. Narrated by the (apparently) innocent Parson Yorick, who appeared in Sterne’s other masterpiece, Tristram Shandy, it is full of anecdote and incident, and is far more about the people than the landscapes on the road from Calais. Despite the title, any sentimentality is offset by the elegance of the writing, the engaging companionship of Yorick himself and the constant, playful surprises.

    The Story of the Pony Express

    An accessible yet well researched and detailed account by Glenn D. Bradley of the operation of the line known as the Pony Express, that lasted for about 16 months before being replaced by the telegraph. A mail route became an imperative in order to connect the eastern U.S. with the growing west coast following the gold rush of California, the lumber camps, and the various needs because of the settling of the western frontier. This work is meticulous yet manages to convey the entrepreneurial and dangerous atmosphere of the time (the hard work being done, repelling of Indian attacks and overall tough working conditions).

    The Top 10 – The French – An Introduction 
 
Among the glories of French culture are the abundance of its literary talents.  Within its rich historical legacy are authors who take the landscape of life and create very telling stories.  This conflict between history and life summons ideas of strength, beauty, brutality, elegance and all manner of feelings and emotions in these miniature gems. 
 
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.
