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.

Fiction.....................2 Young Adult...........29 Non-Fiction............32 Happy reading! Fiction American Dervish By Ayad Akhtar Hayat Shah is a young American in love for the first time. His normal life of school, baseball, and video games had previously been distinguished only by his Pakistani heritage and by the frequent chill between his parents, who fight over things he is too young to understand. Then Mina arrives, and everything changes. This woman is Hayat's mother's oldest friend from Pakistan. She is independent, beautiful, and intelligent, and arrives on the Shah's doorstep when her disastrous marriage in Pakistan disintegrates. Even Hayat's skeptical father can't deny the liveliness and happiness that accompanies Mina into their home. When Mina meets and begins dating a man, Hayat is confused by his feelings of betrayal. Just as Mina finds happiness, Hayat is compelled to act -- with devastating consequences for all those he loves most.

Just After Sunset: Stories Free
FREE JUST AFTER SUNSET: STORIES PDF Stephen King | 539 pages | 22 Sep 2009 | SIMON & SCHUSTER | 9781416586654 | English | New York, NY, United States Just After Sunset by Stephen King As guest editor of the bestselling Best American Short StoriesKing spent over a year reading hundreds of stories. His renewed passion for the form is evident on every page of Just After Sunset. Who but Stephen King would turn a Port-O-San into a slimy birth canal, Just After Sunset: Stories 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. In one of the longer stories here, "N. 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 Just After Sunset: Stories, when the imagination begins to reach for shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be Just After Sunset: Stories right out of you.
