Sinopse

William Carleton's "The Station; The Party Fight And Funeral; The Lough Derg Pilgrim" is a remarkable exploration of Irish rural life, deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of 19th-century Ireland. Carleton masterfully weaves together a tapestry of human experience, employing rich, evocative language and keen social observation. The narratives encompass a variety of themes, including social class, religious practices, and communal bonds, reflecting the complexities of Irish identity during a tumultuous period. Carleton's use of dialect adds authenticity to his characters, immersing readers in a palpable sense of place and time. Born in 1794 in County Tyrone, William Carleton's experiences growing up in a devout Catholic family in a predominantly Protestant society greatly influenced his writing. His keen awareness of the struggles faced by rural communities and the friction between tradition and modernity informed the themes of his work. Carleton was committed to portraying the lives of ordinary Irish people with compassion and nuance, making his narratives both a critique and celebration of their culture. For readers interested in a deep, poignant connection to Irish heritage, "The Station; The Party Fight And Funeral; The Lough Derg Pilgrim" serves as an essential gateway. Carleton's insightful observations and timeless themes resonate with anyone seeking to understand the intricate social dynamics of rural Ireland. This collection is not only a critical literary work but a vital historical document that enriches our understanding of the Irish experience.

    Jazz-age Paris was the center of the artistic and literary world, and the center of the center was Gertrude Stein's salon, where the famous and aspiring creative talents gathered to gawk at Stein's Picassos and vie for status. Young Midwesterner Ida Caine arrives in Paris with her husband Teddy, a would-be Hemingway who thinks he can adventure first and write later. When Teddy falls in with the Stein set, he brings Ida to the salon, where she is shunted into a corner with the wives of famous men. She burns with resentment and wonders if she can ever develop into a real artist herself. A few days later, Gertrude Stein's partner Alice B. Toklas vanishes. Stein calls upon Teddy to investigate. Soon after, he vanishes. Forced to seek out her missing husband, Ida follows his trail through a milieu including strange Surrealist rituals, Tarot card readings, and the catacombs beneath the city. She falls in with a young American poet, T. S. Eliot. An unlikely passion grows while they seek answers to the shocking disappearances.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume we come up against the definition of Northern Europe.  There are many, each with plausibility and each so obvious.  So, here’s ours.
