The Jewish Author - A Short Story Collection

"We love to stereotype, to typecast and to pigeon hole. It’s one of our organising traits that serves many uses but also serves to stain and segregate, to find fault and to point out blame.In this volume we see if that servant can have two masters and two functions.The Jewish culture has been a mesmerizing source of life, art, tragedy, and beauty for millennia.To be Jewish is not a simple example of one person or one family; it is a collective form of identity. Jewish history has often been rightfully portrayed as turbulent, as a people being unfairly oppressed and downtrodden; marked out for discrimination and even death. But Jewish history also has darker notes against others when in its own ascendancy. Within this volume of short stories we have exampled people who thought of themselves as Jewish and wove that together with their literary skills to create some quite dazzling and unexpected works. These short stories explore and examine society and the lives all around them in times when the Jewish authors themselves were being closely watched. 1 - The Jewish Author - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction2 - In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka3 - Rooms by Gertrude Stein4 - My First Goose by Isaac Babel5 - Gods in Exile by Heinrich Heine6 - Cohen of Trinity by Amy Levy7 - Jezebel of Valley Farm by E Philips Oppenhein8 - The Converts by Israel Zangwill9 - The Hoodoo by Martha Gruening10 - Chopin Op 47 by Stanley Victor Makower11 - August by Bruno Schulz12 - The Book Binder of Hort by Leoplod von Sacher-Masoch"

The Foundations of Fiction - Modernism

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. It’s a reality that the term ‘modernism’ was first used for stories well over a century ago. Like fine wines they have aged remarkably well. In this volume the talents of Virginia Woolf, F Scott Fitzgerald, Katherine Mansfield, James Joyce are testament to the craft, imagination and literary chops these authors have brought to prose in one of its most enduring literary movements. 01 - Foundations of Fiction - Modernism - An Introduction2 - Bliss by Katherine Mansfield3 - Bernice Bobs Her Hair by F Scott Fitzgerald4 - The Legacy by Virginia Woolf5 - The Dead by James Joyce6 - Here We Are by Dorothy Parker7 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence8 - If I Were A Man by Charlotte Perkins Gilman9 - Tomorrow by Eugene O'Neill10 - Friday by Zona Gale11 - The Defense of Strikerville by Damon Runyon12 - Rooms by Gertrude Stein13 - The Mark on the Wall by Virginia Woolf14 - The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield15 - Eveline by James Joyce16 - His Smile by Susan Glaspell17 - A Cullenden of Virginia by Thomas Wolfe18 - Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield19 - The Golden Honeymoon by Ring Lardner20 - Winter Dreams by F Scott Fitzgerald21 - Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf22 - Ariel's Triumph by Booth Tarkington23 - Speed by Sinclair Lewis24 - Araby by James Joyce25 - The Ice Palace by F Scott Fitzgerald26 - The Fly by Katherine Mansfield27 - White Bread by Zona Gale28 - A Dill Pickle by Katherine Mansfield"
