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 zenith of Empire is bookended by two catastrophic wars that slaughter vast swathes of humanity. And yet authors manage to record and create fragile libraries of humanity, its talents, its dreams and increasingly its nightmares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 - The 20th Century - The English Men - An Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02 - They by Rudyard Kipling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e03 - The Rocking Horse Winner by D H Lawrence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e04 - The Interlopers by Saki the pseudonym for H H Munro\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e06 - The Juryman by John Galsworthy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e07 - The Kit Bag by Algernon Blackwood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e08 - The Haunted Orchard by Richard Le Gallienne\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e09 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No 1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 - Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad by M R James\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 - August Heat by W F Harvey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 - The Matador of the Five Towns by Arnold Bennett\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44118995664974,"sku":"AB-541822","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/files\/9781803541822.jpg?v=1785999818","url":"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/products\/the-top-10-short-stories-the-20th-century-the-english-men","provider":"Deadtree Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
