From more than 150 short stories produced during four decades of professional writing, Barbara has picked twenty that show a variety of themes, from humour to tragedy, love to hate, revealing a wide range of human emotions and yearnings, and the highs and lows that make humanity such a fascinating study. The opening story, No Time for Pity, is a new look at an old crime: the murders of two young princes in the Tower of London, 1483. Australians are all too aware of the theme of Beached Spirit - the unwelcome arrival of beached whales. For light relief, The Cornish Pot introduces a real fairy, and in Whatever Happened to Love? the eccentricities of the aristocracy meet head-on with the end result of an ungentlemanly act. Malcolm, 15, goes to The Island to escape the irritations of family life, but the island's peace is transitory. The Old Bloke introduces us to a tramp, whose unchanging routine is shattered when he finds a dollar coin outside a fairground. How wrong can you be? The author in Breakfast in Paradise fancies himself as a student of human nature. But his confidence is deflated when breakfast at the Hotel Paradiso turns briefly into chaos. Are people ever what they seem? The final story, The Wallflower, has been included because of its special status in Barbara's career - it was the first she ever sold, and it was broadcast by the BBC.
An Empty Bottle is a collection of short stories that would otherwise have been consigned to the realm of forgotten things. Written over many years, many published around the world and others achieving awards in Australia, they cover aspects of life and living from humour, crime, and retribution, love and hate, children and the elderly—something for just about anyone. There is even a fairy story for adults in there. This is the third collection gleaned from a busy writing life, No Time for Pity and Standfast appearing a few years ago. Barbara believes that readers still enjoy short fiction, but it is not easy to find. For the busy person, the young mum, the city girl, the elderly, and those who just don't have a long attention span, the genre still offers a happy hour or so curled up with a book. Reading is one of life's true enjoyments, whether it is done with an old-fashioned collection of bound paper or one of the new electronic gadgets. Long may it last!
A scholarly edition of the short fiction of Henry James, comprising nine tales including 'The Aspern Papers' and 'The Liar'.
Tüm zamanların en büyük edebi dehalarından biri olan Lev Tolstoy, bize "İnsan Ne İle Yaşar ve Diğer Öyküler" adlı derin ve düşündürücü öykülerden oluşan bir koleksiyon sunuyor. Bu öyküler, insan varoluşunun özüne inerek sevgi, merhamet ve yaşamın ilahi doğası gibi temaları araştırıyor. "İnsan Ne İle Yaşar" adlı öyküsünde Tolstoy, insanlığı gerçekten neyin ayakta tuttuğunu sorgulayan bir anlatıyı ustalıkla örüyor. Bu eserin yanında yer alan diğer öyküler ise derin içgörüler ve ahlaki dersler sunarak okuyucular üzerinde derin izler bırakmaya devam ediyor. Bu koleksiyon, sadece Tolstoy'un edebi dehasını değil, aynı zamanda insan doğasını derinlemesine anlama yeteneğini de gözler önüne seriyor. Zamana meydan okuyan bu öyküler, okuyucuyu, gerçekten hayatta olmanın ne anlama geldiğine ilişkin bir bilgeliğe ulaştırıyor.
