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\u003eKipling in these more modern times is increasingly seen as an apologist for the bad ways of evil empires. It’s a simplistic analysis and avoids much of his literary talent that is entertaining, scary and down right brilliant story telling whatever the background it is based on or comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 - The Top Ten - The 19th Century - The Men - An Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02 - The Signalman by Charles Dickens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e03 - Bartleby the Scrivener - Part 1 by Herman Melville\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e04 - Bartleby the Scrivener - Part 2 by Herman Melville\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05 - The Cloak by Nikolai Gogol also known as 'The Overcoat'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e06 - The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e07 - About Love by Anton Chekhov\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e08 - The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e09 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 - Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 - A Passion in the Desert by Honoré de Balzac\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 -Lost Hearts by M R James\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44118995861582,"sku":"AB-541853","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/files\/9781803541853.jpg?v=1786000267","url":"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/products\/the-top-10-short-stories-the-19th-century-the-men","provider":"Deadtree Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
