Summary:
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 Century Men still control almost all of 'who' and 'what' gets published. It is an unfair world but these male authors are also very gifted and none could argue with their status here. Their stories throw light onto the ills and dark corners of societies flaws and the damning rules that oppress the many.01 - The Top 10 - The 19th Century - The Men - An Introduction2 - The Signalman by Charles Dickens3 - Bartleby the Scrivener - Part 1 by Herman Melville4 - Bartleby the Scrivener - Part 2 by Herman Melville5 - The Cloak by Nikolai Gogol also known as 'The Overcoat'6 - The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant7 - About Love by Anton Chekhov8 - The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe9 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev10 - Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne11 - A Passion in the Desert by Honoré de Balzac12 - Lost Hearts by M R James
