Summary

A collection of strange, zany and interesting works. 
SHORT SHORTS: 
STORY COLLECTION, BY TOBY KRATS. 
This trilogy collection of, mostly, non-interrelated short stories and 'poem-style' works by the writer Toby Krats is rich and lively. A dazzling array of personalities including a superhero, a slob, a Fairy-Godmother, a worker at McDonald's, a teenage future, a race-car driver and a writer who all hail from different corners of the world, cross borders; both literally and metaphorically as they move from scene to episode. 
In "Sliced Bread," for example, the superhero has nowhere to change, Daisy Duke has hopes of reconciling with her lost love. In another story, a slob crosses the line in order to seek revenge. 
There are ringing truths behind it all. The stories are amusing, yet sometimes the reader may feel a twist in their belly while laughing. Probably just wind. 
"Short Shorts, The Trilogy" is a rarity. Rather than write for a set genre, Toby Krats writes as the genres, adding depth and clarity to his descriptions. These are stories to be read again and again; each varying in length with the commuter in mind. 
Most hand-held devices will show and play, "Short Shorts", batteries not included.
Available since: 12/03/2018.

    "Candide, or Optimism" is a satirical novella written by the French philosopher Voltaire, first published in 1759. It follows the adventures of the young Candide, who is raised in a utopian world and taught that “all is for the best.” The narrative takes him through a series of misfortunes, exposing him to the harsh realities of the world, ultimately leading him to question his optimistic beliefs. Voltaire uses Candide’s journey to satirize religion, governments, the military, and the philosophy of optimism, particularly as espoused by Leibniz. "Candide" is considered one of the greatest achievements of Western literature

    “A Middle Eastern heart-of-darkness tale that flows like a dream . . . Crackling with razor-sharp humor” (The New York Times).   At the dawn of the twentieth century, a young Lebanese explorer leaves the Levant for the wilds of Africa, encountering an eccentric English colonel in Sudan and enlisting in his service. In this lush chronicle of far-flung adventure, the military recruit crosses paths with a compatriot who has dismantled a sumptuous palace in Tripoli and is transporting it across the continent on a camel caravan. The protagonist soon takes charge of this hoard of architectural fragments, ferrying the dismantled landmark through Sudan, Egypt, and the Arabian Peninsula, attempting to return to his native Beirut with this moveable real estate. Along the way, he will encounter skeptic sheikhs, suspicious tribal leaders, bountiful feasts, pilgrims bound for Mecca, and T. E. Lawrence in a tent—in this “utterly charming” novel that was a recipient of the Académie Française’s François Mauriac Prize (Library Journal).   “Renders the complex social landscape of the Middle East and North Africa with subtlety and finesse . . . Yet one doesn’t need to care about the region’s history, or its present-day contexts, to enjoy Moving the Palace.” —The Wall Street Journal
