Sinopse

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.

    What are the politics of nature? Who owns it, where is it, what role does it play in our lives? Does it need to be tamed? Are we ourselves natural? In A Darker Wilderness, a constellation of luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States. Each of these essays engages with a single archival object, whether directly or obliquely, exploring stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space and finding rich Blackness everywhere. 
     
     
     
    Erin Sharkey considers Benjamin Banneker's 1795 almanac, as she follows the passing of seasons in an urban garden in Buffalo. Naima Penniman reflects on a statue of Haitian revolutionary François Makandal, within her own pursuit of environmental justice. Ama Codjoe meditates on rain, hair, protest, and freedom via a photo of a woman during a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. And so on with wide-ranging contributions unearthing evidence of the ways Black people's relationship to the natural world has persevered through colonialism, slavery, violence, and structurally racist policies. 
     
     
     
    A scrapbook, a family chest, a quilt—a work of historical engagement and literary accomplishment—A Darker Wilderness is a collection brimming with abundance and insight.

    My Secret Life, the anonymously written erotic memoirs of a Victorian English gentleman who refers to himself simply as 'Walter' is one of the most idiosyncratic and prurient books ever written. In this vast autobiographical confessional the author recounts, in meticulous detail, his sexual exploits throughout the course of a life devoted entirely to the pursuit of carnal pleasure. Through this compelling exploration of the author's sexual behaviour we are left with a uniquely entertaining insight into life behind the closed doors of Victorian society. My Secret Life is funny, sorrowful, suspenseful, compulsively readable, obscene, titillating, exciting and erotic...in it we are privy to the thoughts, emotions and memories of one of the most unusual, unsung and colourful English eccentrics of the Victorian era.
    
    Now, for the first time, the complete unabridged version of this unique text is being narrated and scored by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins as an 'audiofilm' (an audiobook in which the emotional landscape is explored through the music score). Each chapter of My Secret Life will be released at monthly intervals over the next ten to fifteen years culminating in what is likely to become the longest audio book ever to be produced.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    Disequilibria: Meditations on Missingness is a hybrid memoir that recounts the 1982 disappearance of the author's stepfather, James Edward Lewis, a pilot and Vietnam veteran. Recounting his family's experiences in searching for answers, Lunday interrogates the broader cultural and conceptual responses to the phenomenon of missingness by connecting his stepfather's case to other true-life disappearances as well as those portrayed in fiction, poetry, and film. In doing so Disequilibria explores the transience in modern life, considering the military-dependent experience, the corrosive effects of war, and the struggle to find closure and comfort as time goes by without answers.
