Sinopsis

Short Story Classics (Vol. 1: Russian) is a compelling anthology that offers a curated selection of some of the most profound and influential tales from Russian literature. This collection showcases the rich narrative styles and thematic depth characteristic of Russian writing, featuring masterpieces from luminaries such as Anton Chekhov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Leo Tolstoy. Accompanied by engaging introductions and critical analyses, this volume immerses readers in the complexities of human emotion, existential dilemmas, and the socio-political landscape of imperial Russia, making it a valuable resource for both casual readers and serious scholars alike. The collective works of varied authors in this anthology reflect a rich tapestry of cultural influences and historical contexts that inform their narratives. Many of these short stories emerged during a period of intellectual awakening in 19th-century Russia, where authors grappled with profound philosophical questions and the societal upheavals of the time. Their unique voices shape a literary environment where individualism, moral conflict, and the human condition are explored in depth, revealing the influences that propelled these writers towards exploring the human experience in its myriad forms. This anthology is highly recommended for readers seeking a deeper understanding of Russian literature and its enduring impact on global storytelling. By engaging with these classic short stories, readers will not only appreciate the literary craftsmanship of Russia's greatest writers but also gain insight into the universal themes that resonate through time, making it an essential addition to any literature lover's collection.

    Ken Barnard is a computer software designer who has had a series of unrewarding relationships with women his own age. He lives in the bottom half of an old Victorian semi-detached house in Hendon, London, and he is enthusiastic about just two things, computer programming and spanking. Recently he has discovered the pleasure in spanking older women who are often not only willing but desperate to be over Ken’s knee getting their bottoms warmed. In this audiobook, Ken spanks Rose and Holly together and then canes Amanda Prendergast for her Airs and Graces. There is also a spanking dinner party and Ken finally meets the love of his life.

    Fantastic: Loved the book there was nothing bad in the book I really liked the ending you are a brilliant writer I am going to read some more of your stories

    Another fun spanking series: Sweet older ladies can benefit from spankings just as much as naughty little girls. I’m really enjoying this author's genre-busting sexy spanking stories.

    Enjoyable: With so many stories about thin young ladies and men being spanked this perspective was very enjoyable. Some nice erotic moments but spanking was the main theme. Well done and a very nice read

    William Fryer Harvey AM was born on 14th April 1885 into a wealthy Quaker family in Leeds, West Yorkshire. 
    He was educated at the Quaker Bootham School in Yorkshire and Leighton Park School in Reading before university at Balliol College, Oxford.  
    His health was fragile and he poured his energies into writing short stories and in 1910 published his first collection ‘Midnight House’. 
    In the Great War he was with the Friends' Ambulance Unit and then served as a surgeon-lieutenant in the Royal Navy.  There he received the Albert Medal for Lifesaving but lung damage received at that time troubled him for the rest of his life. 
    He continued to write short stories, and even a memoir, but by 1925 ill health had forced his retirement to any outside work.  Three years later he published his second collection which contained his macabre classic ‘The Beast with Five fingers’, only one more collection would come from his pen in his lifetime. 
    For many years of his life he now lived in Switzerland with his wife but a yearning to be home saw them come back to England in 1935. 
    W F Harvey died in Letchworth on the 4th June 1937. He was 52.

    Two's company, three's a crowd--and sometimes it's more than that.
    In The Third Person, a collection of uncanny short stories by Emily Anglin, a sequence of tense professional and personal negotiations between two people is complicated when a third person arrives. Within these triangulated microworlds, disorienting gaps open up between words and reality: employees dissolve from job titles, neighbours overstep comfortable boundaries, voices distanced by space or time make their presence felt. Uneasiness builds among these separate but entangled lives.
    
    Anglin's darkly humorous stories contemplate situations in which characters refashion themselves to fit a new competitive milieu. The Third Person reveals how people can become complicit in these milieus, even desire them, often while being led into the loneliness they can instil.

    Jamaica Kincaid's At the Bottom of the River . . . inspired, lyrical short stories 
     
     
     
    Reading Jamaica Kincaid is to plunge, gently, into another way of seeing both the physical world and its elusive inhabitants. Her voice is, by turns, naively whimsical and biblical in its assurance, and it speaks of what is partially remembered partly divined. The memories often concern a childhood in the Caribbean—family, manners, and landscape—as distilled and transformed by Kincaid's special style and vision. 
     
     
     
    Kincaid leads her readers to consider, as if for the first time, the powerful ties between mother and child; the beauty and destructiveness of nature; the gulf between the masculine and the feminine; the significance of familiar things—a house, a cup, a pen. Transfiguring our human form and our surroundings—shedding skin, darkening an afternoon, painting a perfect place—these stories tell us something we didn't know, in a way we hadn't expected.
