Not as good as I had hopedPar Dr. Bojan TunguzA few years ago I had read Everything's Eventual : 14 Dark Tales, a collection of 14 short stories by Stephen King. For years I had been a big fan of Stephen King's novels, and I had always enjoyed short stories as a genre. Therefore I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Stephen King is not only able to write book-long narrative thrillers, but was equally if not more at home with the constraints that short story imposes on the writer. I saw that King's writing style is in its own right a very compelling tool that he deftly uses to keep readers interested in the story, even there is nothing supernatural or out of this world in the narrative. This sentiment had led me to look forward to The Best American Short Stories 2007 collection for which Stephen King was a guest editor. However, this collection of short stories proved to be a complete disaster - the stories were some of the most boring and unimaginative that I have ever read in the Best American series of books. It had shaken my impression of King as someone who can truly appreciate a well-crafted short story, but I still believed that it bore no relation to his own writing ability. So when I came across this new collection of his own short stories, I was very eager to give it a try. The first red flag came in the introduction. It turns out that King was inspired to write this collection by his experience as the editor of "Best American Short Stories" collection. As I read through the stories my misgivings got confirmed. The stories, by and large, turned out to be the worst of the two worlds: they had all of the discursive, aimless rambling of some of King's longer works, and none of the shocking potency of immediacy of a short story. The characters find themselves in a variety of supernatural and otherwise strange situations, but for the most part we are not sympathetic enough to their plight to care what happens to them in the end. There were a couple of stories that I genuinely enjoyed, but overall this has been a rather disappointing reading experience. I still believe that Stephen King is a great writer of suspenseful stories that reflect on some of our deepest fears and anxieties, but this collection of short stories doesn't do justice to his talent.1 internautes sur 1 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile. Different storiesPar Audrey BJ'adore quand un livre de King m’entraîne un peu loin de ses romans d'horreurs habituels, car c'est dans ce genre d'oeuvres que l'on mesure l'ampleur de son talent d'écrivain, trop souvent oublié derrière la petite case "auteur d'horreur".Vraiment dommage car pour moi King est un magicien de la langue, vous plongeant dans l'ambiance dès les premières phrases.Ici on retrouve 4 nouvelles qui tiennent plus du court roman.La première est célèbre de par son adaptation à l'écran .La seconde a été pour moi une vraie claque! Un roman d'horreur qui n'en est pas. Aucun élément surnaturel ou horrifique et pourtant j'ai eu le sang glacé d'un bout à l'autre, c'est un exercice magistrale.La troisième nous amène vers un de ses thèmes de prédilection: l'âge béni qui précède juste l'adolescence et l'amitié d'un groupe d'enfants.Enfin la dernière est peut-être la plus surnaturelle des trois et constitue une bonne nouvelle d'horreur.Ne pas bouder son plaisir sur ce recueil!0 internautes sur 0 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile. Très très bon, sans être le meilleur recueil de KingPar Barthel Damien"Juste Avant Le Crépuscule", avec sa couverture à moitié en hologramme (passez le livre près d'une source de lumière, vous verrez !), est le septième recueil de nouvelles de Stephen King (je compte "Minuit 2" et "Minuit 4" comme un seul recueil qui a été scindé en deux tomes en France). Assez court (400 pages, dont 10 consacrées à une intro et à une postface), c'est un recueil contenant 13 histoires alternant entre fantastique, horreur et suspense dénué de fantastique ("La Fille Pain d'épices", seconde histoire du recueil, une des plus longues, est excellente, elle me fait penser à la fois à "Duma Key", "Jessie" et à une histoire à la Thomas Harris).Toutes ces histoires ne sont pas grandioses (King a raison, dans sa postface/notes sur les nouvelles, de dire que la première, "Willa", bien que touchante, n'est pas la meilleure du lot ; elle est un peu fouillis, surtout au début), mais dans l'ensemble, si "Juste Avant Le Crépuscule" n'est pas le meilleur recueil de l'auteur - "Danse Macabre", "Brume" sont indépassables - , ça reste un très bon cru. King déçoit rarement, et depuis quelques années, c'est même de plus en plus rarement ("Cellulaire" étant la dernière déception) que ça arrive.A noter, la traduction du titre est assez erronée, le livre, à la base, s'appelle "Just Past Sunset", il aurait fallu donc le traduire par "Juste Après Le Crépuscule". Mais c'est un détail. La pochette aussi est étonnante, pas d'illustration, on ne retrouve même pas le fameux nom de l'auteur en haut de la tranche, typographie habituelle (l'épaisseur assez relative du recueil y est sans doute pour beaucoup, et là aussi, c'est un détail)."N.", "Un Très Petit Coin", "Ayana", "Laissés-pour-compte", "Muet", "La Fille Pain d'épices", autant de nouvelles, courtes ou longues (les plus longues font dans les 60 pages, les plus courtes, une dizaine de pages), qui vous raviront si vous aimez les petites histoires et King, très habile en la matière. Un livre plus court que de coutume pour l'auteur de "Ca", et sans être un sommet, c'est quand même un excellent cru, encore une fois ! Description du produitIn Just After Sunset Stephen King delivers an astonishing collection of short stories, his first since Everything's Eventual six years ago. One of the longer stories in this book, "N." recently broke ground when it was adapted as a graphic digital entertainment and brought to vibrant life through a series of 25 video episodes. Introduced by the author, those episodes are presented on the DVD included in this Collector's Set. A trailer for the video episodes, and a special "Behind the Scenes" segment complete the DVD package available only in this special edition of the book. Who but Stephen King would turn a Port-O-San into a slimy birth canal, or a roadside honky-tonk into a place for endless love? A book salesman with a grievance might pick up a mute hitchhiker, not knowing the silent man in the passenger seat listens altogether too well. Or an exercise routine on a stationary bicycle, begun to reduce bad cholesterol, might take its rider on a captivating-and then terrifying-journey. Set on a remote key in Florida, "The Gingerbread Girl" is a riveting tale featuring a young woman as vulnerable-and resourceful-as Audrey Hepburn's character in Wait Until Dark. In "Ayana," a blind girl works a miracle with a kiss and the touch of her hand. For King, the line between the living and the dead is often blurry, and the seams that hold our reality intact might tear apart at any moment. "N." tells the story of a psychiatrist who falls victim to the same deadly obsession as his patient - an obsession that just might save the world! Just After Sunset-call it dusk, call it twilight, it's a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when nothing is quite as it appears, when the imagination begins to reach for shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be scared right out of you. It's the perfect time for Stephen King. Présentation de l'éditeurA stunning collection from international bestseller Stephen King that displays his phenomenally broad readership (stories published in The New Yorker, Playboy, and McSweeney’s and including the 25,000 word story “Gingerbread Girl” published in Esquire).Stephen King—who has written more than fifty books, dozens of number one New York Times bestsellers, and many unforgettable movies—delivers an astonishing collection of short stories, his first since Everything’s Eventual six years ago. As guest editor of the bestselling Best American Short Stories 2007, King spent over a year reading hundreds of stories. His renewed passion for the form is evident on every page of Just After Sunset. The stories in this collection have appeared in The New Yorker, Playboy, McSweeney’s, The Paris , Esquire, and other publications. Who but Stephen King would turn a Port-O-San into a slimy birth canal, or a roadside honky-tonk into a place for endless love? A book salesman with a grievance might pick up a mute hitchhiker, not knowing the silent man in the passenger seat listens altogether too well.

Stephen King's books have become a lightning rod for the tensions around issues of including "mass market" popular literature in middle and 1.i.gh school English classes and of who chooses what students read. King's fi'tion is among the most popular of "pop" literature, and among the most controversial. These essays spotlight the ways in which King's work intersects with the themes of the literary canon and its construction and maintenance, censorship in public schools, and the need for adolescent readers to be able to choose books in school reading programs. The essays and their authors are: (1) "Reading Stephen King: An Ethnography of an Event" (Brenda Miller Power); (2) "I Want to Be Typhoid Stevie" (Stephen King); (3) "King and Controversy in Classrooms: A Conversation between Teachers and Students" (Kelly Chandler and others); (4) "Of Cornflakes, Hot Dogs, Cabbages, and King" (Jeffrey D.

    FONT: Anavio regular (wwwUNDER.my nts.com) THE DOME ABOUT THE BOOK IN BRIEF: The idea for this story had its genesis in an unpublished novel titled The Cannibals which was about a group of inhabitants who find themselves trapped in their apartment building. In Under the Dome the story begins on a bright autumn morning, when a small Maine town is suddenly cut off from the rest of the world, and the inhabitants have to fight to survive. As food, electricity and water run short King performs an expert observation of human psychology, exploring how over a hundred characters deal with this terrifying scenario, bringing every one of his creations to three-dimensional life. Stephen King’s longest novel in many years, Under the Dome is a return to the large-scale storytelling of his ever-popular classic The Stand. IN DETAIL: Fast-paced, yet packed full of fascinating detail, the novel begins with a long list of characters, including three ‘dogs of note’ who were in Chester’s Mill on what comes to be known as ‘Dome Day’ — the day when the small Maine town finds itself forcibly isolated from the rest of America by an invisible force field. A woodchuck is chopped right in half; a gardener’s hand is severed at the wrist; a plane explodes with sheets of flame spreading to the ground. No one can get in and no one can get out. One of King’s great talents is his ability to alternate between large set-pieces and intimate moments of human drama, and King gets this balance exactly right in Under the Dome.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

ABSTRACT An abstract of the thesis of Mary Ellen Scofield for the Master of Arts in English presented July 12, 1996. Title: Willa Cather's Spirituality Both overtly and subtly, the early twentieth century American author Willa Cather (1873-1947) gives her readers a sense of a spiritual realm in the world of her novels. '!'his study explores Cather's changing <;onceptions of spirituality and ways_in which she portrays them in three ~ her novels. I propose that though Cather is seldom considered a modernist, her interest in spirituality parallels Virginia Woolf's interest in moments of heightened consciousness, and that she invented ways to express ineffable connections with a spiritual dimension of life.
