3 Stories - Blind Characters

"There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.From their pens to your your ears."

Aphra Behn, Ernest Bramah, Mikhail Lermontov (Author), Amanda Weston, David Shaw-Parker, Richard Mitchley (Narrator)

Lessons from Literature - Stories Exploring Women's Choice in Marriage

"Being curious, learning from all of our experiences, is one of our most pleasing traits as human beings. In this series we examine particular facets of ourselves and, with the aid of many classic authors, delve into characters and stories that not only entertain us, but inform us on how short stories can help us both deal and understand issues that touch and weave into our lives with the words and narratives of many wise talents.Even in these more modern times not everyone is free to choose their partners. Nations, cultures and religions around the globe are not as inclusive as we are and we think they should be. With the insight and talents of these classic authors we are shown that even in quite recent times choice in marriage was, in essence, in the gift of others.01 - Lessons From Literature - Stories Exploring Women's Choice in Marriage - An Introduction2 - The Ice Palace by F Scott Fitzgerald3 - The Kiss by Kate Chopin4 - Second Best by D H Lawrence5 - The Unfortunate Bride or The Blind Lady a Beauty by Aphra Behn6 - Madame Rose Hanie by Khalil Gibran7 - Sister Josepha by Alice Dunbar Nelson8 - Right At Last by Elizabeth Gaskell9 - The Difference by Ellen Glasgow10 - An Outcast of the People by Bithia Mary Croker11 - The Looking Glass by Anton Chekhov12 - The Skylight Room by O Henry13 - Mrs Pierrepoint by Amy Levy14 - How the Widow Won the Deacon by William James Lampton15 - Spurs by Tod Robbins16 - A New England Nun by Mary E Wilkins Freeman17 - Two Offers by Frances Watkins Harper"

Women’s Role in Love and Choice in Love and Marriage - Short Stories

"Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Men did, in the age of our classic authors, usually declare their supremacy in all manner of things. They had the authority, both moral and legal, they had control of the assets. If the game is rigged there can be only one winner. Yet in this volume our authors more closely examine the part of women in the relationship of love and open both our eyes and our ears to a truth in each and every story that reveals a rather different balance.1 - Woman's Role and Choice in Love - Short Stories - An Introduction2 - The Ice Palace by F Scott Fitzgerald3 - The Horse Dealer's Daughter by D H Lawrence4 - Madame Rose Hanie by Khalil Gibran5 - A Respectable Woman by Kate Chopin6 - The Daughter of Lilith by Anatole France7 - The Skylight Room by O Henry8 - The Looking Glass by Anton Chekhov9 - Here We Are by Dorothy Parker10 - Right At Last by Elizabeth Gaskell11 - The Unfortunate Bride or The Blind Lady a Beauty by Aphra Behn12 - Spurs by Tod Robbins13 - The Inquity of Oblivion by Kenneth Grahame14 - An Outcast of the People by Bithia Mary Croker15 - Two Offers by Frances Watkins Harper16 - The Difference by Ellen Glasgow"
