Sinopsis

In "A Story Teller's Story," Sherwood Anderson delves into the intricate art of storytelling, merging autobiographical elements with rich, prose-driven narratives that reveal the complexities of human experience. Through a series of interwoven tales, Anderson explores themes of identity, creativity, and the search for connection, employing a candid and conversational literary style that invites readers into the depths of his characters' psyches. The book's context within the early 20th-century American literary landscape highlights its innovative approach to character-driven storytelling, contrasting with the era's often rigid narrative structures while revealing the undercurrents of existential thought and modernist experimentation. Sherwood Anderson, born in 1876, was a pivotal figure in American literature and an influential precursor to later movements like the Lost Generation and Modernism. His own experiences as a struggling artist and his background in small-town America inform the narratives presented in this collection, imbuing them with authenticity and emotional resonance. Anderson's previous work, notably "Winesburg, Ohio," set the stage for his exploration of the human condition, showcasing his ability to reflect societal truths through personal lens. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the intricacies of narrative form and the philosophical underpinnings of storytelling. Anderson's evocative prose and profound insights into humanity make "A Story Teller's Story" an essential read for scholars, writers, and anyone yearning for a deeper understanding of the art of narration.

"The more I know of this world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!" 
The two oldest Dashwood sisters approach romance differently. One impulsively jumps into love while the other is far more prudent. When tragedy strikes they find themselves searching for suitable husbands. Elinor feels ill-equipped to compete with the self-centred, fortune-driven society she finds herself in, whilst Marianne's unshakeable belief in her own feelings makes her susceptible to the designs of unscrupulous men.  
Can they find true love?  
Jane Austen's first published book was Sense and Sensibility, and her tale of love in late 18th-century England has captivated audiences since it was published. Rich in irony, wit, and romance, Austen is known for her critique of claustrophobic society and the role of women within it.

Coram had dismissed his previous two secretaries. The murder happened at Yoxley Old Place near Chatham, Kent, with a sealing-wax knife of the professor's as the weapon. Hopkins can identify no motive for the killing, with Smith having no enemies or trouble in his past. Smith was found by Coram's maid, who recounts his last words as "The professor; it was she."The maid further told Hopkins that prior to the murder she heard Smith leave his room and walk down to the study; she had been hanging curtains and did not see him, only recognizing his brisk step. The professor was in bed at the time. A minute later, a hoarse scream issued from the study, and the maid, hesitating briefly, inspected and found the murder. She later tells Holmes that Smith went out for a walk not long before the murder...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.
