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\u003eThe Century moves on decade by decade. War once again scars Europe, in America wagons roll west. Social unrest continues even as conditions improve markedly for the few and only a little for the many. The list of problems and of challenges described by our authors is long and their stories once again full of valuable and telling insights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 - The Top 10 - The 1870's - The Men - An Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02 - Bobok by Fyodor Dostevesky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e03 - A Ghost Story by Mark Twain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e04 - God Sees The Truth But Waits by Leo Tolstoy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05 - Dickon the Devil by Sheridan Le Fanu\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e06 - The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitaller by Gustave Flaubert\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e07 - A Strange Story by Ivan Turgenev\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e08 - A Lonely Ride by Bret Harte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e09 - Coward by Vsevolod Garshin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 - The Man Without a Body by Edward Page Mitchell\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 - The Vampire by Jan Neruda\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44155952267342,"sku":"AB-548814","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/files\/9781803548814.jpg?v=1786536720","url":"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/en-gb\/products\/the-top-10-short-stories-the-1870s-the-men","provider":"Deadtree Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
