Sinossi

Stephen Crane: Complete Short Stories showcases a remarkable body of work that captures the essence of human experience against the backdrop of the late 19th-century America. Renowned for its vivid imagery and pioneering use of naturalism and impressionism, this collection presents stories that delve into themes of war, survival, and the complexities of human emotion. Crane's masterful prose is marked by its brevity and poignant symbolism, reflecting the existential struggles faced by his characters. Through innovative narrative techniques, he paints a stark portrait of life that transcends time and resonates with readers today. Stephen Crane, an eminent figure in American literature, was profoundly influenced by his own experiences as a war correspondent and the tumult of the Civil War. Born in 1871, Crane's short, yet impactful career was characterized by a deep empathy for the human condition. His explorations of fate, desire, and the inner workings of the human psyche stem from a rich tapestry of historical and personal narratives, all of which are evident in this comprehensive collection of short stories. Crane's understanding of the gritty realities of life informs his poignant storytelling, making his work timeless. Given its rich thematic depth and stylistic innovation, Stephen Crane: Complete Short Stories is essential reading for anyone interested in American literature and the short story form. This collection not only showcases Crane's literary genius but also invites readers to engage with profound existential questions shaped by society's tumultuous landscape. It is a compelling journey into the heart of humanity that should not be missed.

    "Glad you are open-minded most people just say I'm mad to believe in the star people!" said the Chicken. 
    "I believe in aliens!" said Blake. "You do?" said the Chicken his eyes widening. 
    "Of course we are aliens how could I not believe in us?" said the not-so-human Blake. 
    "I am not a Flat Earther or a hollow Earther. Nobody lives in the center of any planet," said Blake. 
    "Blake the Star People are real!" said the Masked Chicken. "No they aren't real still!" said Blake. 
    The Chicken pushed a News Paper at Blake."Aliens from the center of the Earth take the Human race to court for ownership of the planet!" Blake read. "Did you get this made as a joke?" asked Blake. "I never thought I'd say this to anyone!" Blake said, "Take me to your leader?" 
    "Who are you human I don't bother my leader with the rabble," said the star person.. 
    "I am Alexandrite Argent the Chief Justice of Sapphirus Argent," said Blake. 
    "Whose that?" asked the star person. "He's my Grandfather he's only the Emperor of the Universe!"

    "You are biased," said the supreme leader."Yes but without me, your case cannot be legally judged I am the only one who can judge Planetary cases," said Blake. "What's wrong with him," said the supreme leader seeing Lance's Emo son. 
    "Oh him he's just the Prince of Darkness," said Lance off-handedly. "Hey!" snapped the offended Emo. "Why are everyone happy these strangers want to evict humans from the Earth?" Jnr asked.

    Telephone lineman in the early 1900s were known for their very vocal appreciation of any and all female beauty as it walked below on the street. From their lofty perch they felt safe to whistle and shout their thanks to the lovely ladies who passed anywhere within their visual range. The women thus admired often expressed distain and dislike of this outward expression by the men but they usually walked away with their complexions a bit rosier than before. This, as we now know of course, was very inappropriate and something to be sternly discouraged but at the time all parties involved somehow to managed survive and even thrive. This story is about such an encounter. But the lady involved did not just blush and walk away, she stopped and invited the man on the pole to come down and get his face slapped for his impudence. She was of Irish descent and did not put up with uppity and distasteful men. 
    Well, the man did come down and did indeed get a resounding slap from her. What happened after this I will let the listener discover in this delightful tale of men and women and their mysterious doings.
