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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this decade life on both sides of the Atlantic relied on territorial expansion and the gathering of industrial muscle. The people who live there merely cogs in a vast machine. Our authors illuminate these times with words that bring humanity and life to these literary gems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 - The Top Ten - The 1850's - An Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02 - The Lifted Veil - Part 1 by George Eliot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e03 - The Lifted Veil - Part 2 by George Eliot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e04 - Bartleby the Scrivener - Part 1 by Herman Melville\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05 - Bartleby the Scrivener - Part 2 by Herman Melville\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e06 - The Old Nurse's Story by Elizabeth Gaskell\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e07 - Master Zacharius - Part 1 by Jules Verne\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e08 - Master Zacharius - Part 2 by Jules Verne\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e09 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 - A Terribly Strange Bed by Wilkie Collins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 - Psyche's Art by Louisa May Alcott\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 -The Lake Gun by James Fenimore Cooper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13 - Two Offers by Frances Watkins Harper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14 - Gods in Exile by Heinrich Heine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44118996418638,"sku":"AB-541921","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/files\/9781803541921.jpg?v=1786000302","url":"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/en-gb\/products\/the-top-10-short-stories-the-1850s","provider":"Deadtree Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
