Synopsis

In "The Power of Kindness and Other Stories," T. S. Arthur employs a poignant narrative style steeped in moral instruction and vivid characterization to explore themes of compassion, generosity, and the profound impact of benevolence in everyday life. The collection, reflective of the sentimental literature prevalent in the 19th century, presents various vignettes that illustrate the transformative power of kindness, showcasing how acts of virtue can effectuate change in both individuals and communities. Each story unfolds with an engaging simplicity, meticulously woven with rich details that evoke empathy and reflection, allowing readers to confront their own values and behaviors in a rapidly industrializing society. T. S. Arthur, a prominent figure in 19th-century American literature, was known for his dedication to social reform and moral storytelling. His own experiences as a witnessing observer of societal issues at the time led him to advocate for kindness and altruism through his writing. Contributing to periodicals and authoring numerous works, Arthur aimed to imbue his audience with a sense of responsibility and hope, framing literature as a vehicle for social change. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking inspiration and insight into the human condition. "The Power of Kindness and Other Stories" does not merely entertain; it challenges readers to embrace kindness as a deliberate practice, urging a deeper examination of personal virtues that could lead to a more compassionate society.

    Sunrise is a collection of interconnected stories continuing Erika Kobayashi's examination of the effects of nuclear power on generations of women. Connecting changes to everyday life to the development of the atomic bomb, Sunrise shows us how the discovery of radioactive power has shaped our history and continues to shape our future. 
     
     
     
    In the opening, eponymous story "Sunrise," Yoko, born exactly two years and one day after Nagasaki was decimated, mirrors her life to the development of nuclear power in Japan. In "Precious Stones," four daughters take their elderly mother to the restorative waters of a radium spring, exchanging tales of immortality. In "Hello My Baby, Hello My Honey," a woman goes into labor during the final days of WWII. And finally, "The Forest of Wild Birds" shows Erika visiting the site of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster, touring grounds that were once covered in green. 
     
     
     
    Translator Brian Bergstrom returns in this collection, bringing to life Kobayashi's unsettling, lasting, and striking prose. The stories in Sunrise force a reckoning with the lasting effects of known and unknown histories and asks how much of modern life is influenced by forces outside of our control.
