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\u003eThose taken away by their own hand leave many questions and many sorrows. In this volume ten of our vaunted authors share stories of tragedy and the early demise of characters who take a tortured path of no return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 - The Top 10 - Suicide - An Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02 - In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e03 - Suicides by Guy de Maupassant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e04 - The Victory by Rabindranath Tagore\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05 - Paul's Case by Willa Cather\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e06 - Claude Gueux by Victor Hugo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e07 - The Mourner by Mary Shelley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e08 - A Slav Soul by Alexander Kuprin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e09 - Cohen of Trinity by Amy Levy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 - A Passion in the Desert by Honoré de Balzac\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 - The Quadroons by Lydia Maria Child\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44155952037966,"sku":"AB-548784","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/files\/9781803548784.jpg?v=1786536354","url":"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/products\/the-top-10-short-stories-suicide","provider":"Deadtree Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
