Nikolai Gogol''s short fiction, collected here as The Diary of a Madman, The Government Inspector and Selected Stories, deeply influenced later Russian literature with powerful depictions of a society dominated by petty bureaucracy and base corruption. This Penguin Classics edition is translated with notes by Ronald Wilks, and an introduction by Robert A. Maguire.This volume includes a selection of Gogol''s most admired short fiction and his most famous drama. A hilarious and biting political satire, ''The Government Inspector'' has been popular since its first performance and was regarded by Nabokov as the greatest Russian play ever written. The stories gathered here, meanwhile, range from comic to tragic and describe the isolated lives of low-ranking clerks, lunatics and swindlers. They include ''Diary of a Madman'', an amusing but disturbing exploration of insanity; ''Nevsky Prospect'', a depiction of an artist infatuated with a prostitute; and ''The Overcoat'', a moving consideration of poverty.Edited and translated by Ronald Wilks, this new collection of Gogol''s shorter writings skilfully captures the savage wit of the original works. Robert Maguire''s introduction considers recurrent themes and explores Gogol''s influence on realism. This edition also includes detailed notes, a publishing history for each story and a chronology.Nikolai Gogol (1809-52) ... Unknown localization key: "more"

''I was jealous of her writing. The only writing I have ever been jealous of.'' Virginia WoolfVirginia Woolf was not the only writer to admire Mansfield''s work: Thomas Hardy, D. H. Lawrence, and Elizabeth Bowen all praised her stories, and her early death at the age of thirty-four cut short one of the finest short-story writers in the English language.This selection covers the full range of Mansfield''s fiction, from her early satirical stories to the subtly nuanced comedy of ''The Daughters of the Late Colonel'' and the macabre and ominous ''A Married Man''s Story''. The stories that pay what Mansfield calls ''a debt of love'' to New Zealand are as sharply etched as the European stories, and she recreates her childhood world with mordant insight. Disruption is a constant theme, whether the tone is comic, tragic, nostalgic, or domestic, echoing Mansfield''s disrupted life and the fractured expressions of Modernism.This new edition increases the selection from 27 to 33 stories and prints them in the order in which they first appeared, in the definitive texts established by Anthony Alpers.

Although he is best known for his exquisite novels, E.M. Forster also wrote remarkable short stories. He referred to his stories as ‘fantasies’ and his attraction to myth and magic is apparent in many of them. Like his novels, the stories – whether they are set in Italy, Greece, India, and other places Forster visited, or in England itself – contrast the freedom of paganism with the restraints of English civilization, the personal, sensual delights of the body with the impersonal, inhibiting rules imposed by society. Rich in irony and alive with sharp observations on the surprises life holds, the stories often feature violent events, discomforting coincidences, and other disruptive happenings that throw the characters’ perceptions and beliefs off balance. This volume includes all twelve stories published during Forster’s lifetime.

''Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science''For more than a century the Holmes stories have held a strange, almost inexplicable grip on the popular imagination. They are intimately associated with late Victorian and Edwardian society, yet curiously timeless in their appeal. The characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, together with their housekeeper Mrs Hudson and their address at 221B Baker Street are as familiar today as when they made their first appearance in the late 1880s. The stories have been endlessly interpreted, adapted, and modernized, but still it is to Arthur Conan Doyle''s originals that we return. This new selection of some of the best of them is designed to give readers a full sense of their world: the brooding fog of London, ruined heirs in creaking mansions, and hidden crimes in the farthest-flung corners of the British Empire. The stories take Holmes''s career from its early days to its close, and include the book-length Sign of the Four.

This is the first paperback edition to bring out in one volume Kate Chopin''s extraordinary novel The Awakening (1899), along with the complete text of her two collections of short stories, Bayou Folk (1894) and A Night in Acadie (1897), and twelve uncollected tales.The Awakening is a strikingly modern, evocative story of self-discovery and female emancipation, set in the sensuous environment of Southern Louisiana, where the young Edna Pontellier reclaims her own individuality, refusing to be defined by her roles of wife and mother.Chopin''s stories are brilliantly observed, compassionate and often humorous, alert to the foibles, weaknesses and small triumphs of her characters. Overshadowed by the relatively recent fame of The Awakening, they contain some of the best work of this remarkably original author.

With an Introduction and Notes by Joe Andrew, Professor of Russian Literature, Keele University.Anton Chekhov is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of short stories. He constructs stories where action and drama are implied rather than described openly, and which leave much to the reader''s imagination.This collection contains some of the most important of his earliest and shortest comic sketches, as well as examples of his great, mature works. Throughout, the doctor-turned-writer displays compassion for human suffering and misfortune, but is always able to see the comical, even farcical aspects of the human condition.Chekhov sees and depicts life with unwavering honesty and truthfulness, although a clear moral sense can be detected beneath his apparent objectivity.

Herbert George Wells was perhaps best known as the author of such classic works of science fiction as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds. But it was in his short stories, written when he was a young man embarking on a literary career, that he first explored the enormous potential of the scientific discoveries of the day. He described his stories as "a miscellany of inventions," yet his enthusiasm for science was tempered by an awareness of its horrifying destructive powers and the threat it could pose to the human race. A consummate storyteller, he made fantastic creatures and machines entirely believable; and, by placing ordinary men and women in extraordinary situations, he explored, with humor, what it means to be alive in a century of rapid scientific progress.

With his diamond-sharp prose and artfully handled intrigue, Dashiell Hammett virtually invented hard-boiled crime fiction. This omnibus edition includes four linked stories - ''The House in Turk Street'', ''The Girl with the Silver Eyes'', ''The Big Knockover'' and ''$106,000 Blood Money - featuring the Continental Op, Hammett''s anonymous tough-guy detective. In The Dain Curse, the Op takes on a wealthy young woman who appears to be the victim of a deadly family curse. And in The Glass Key - Hammett''s own favourite among his works - we encounter his most cynical, morally ambiguous hero and a hard-boiled version of a love triangle. In the works collected here, we can observe the process by which Hammett both stripped crime fiction down to its most subtle and searing essentials and elevated it to high literature.

Five tales of social satire from a forgotten sensation of nineteenth-century Russian literature In 1830s and '40s Russia, A. F. Veltman's eccentric writings were a fixture on the bookshelves of the reading public. In his era, his work influenced writers including Pushkin, Gogol, and Dostoevsky. The five stories collected here, united by themes of social satire, display Veltman's characteristic pivots between the tragic, comic, and grotesque. 'Erotida' riffs on the genre of the society tale with linguistic puns and a bizarre plot resolution. In 'Roland the Furious,' provincial officials mistake a traveler for a high-ranking government. 'Travel Impressions, and, among Other Things, a Pot of Geraniums' plays on the travelogue genre and includes what may be the first description in Russian literature of journey by railroad. “ A Traveler from the Provinces or, A Commotion in the Capital” parodies the Moscow literary salons of Veltman's day. Finally, 'It's Not a House, but a Plaything!' toys with yet another storytelling convention of the time - the Russian folkloric tradition of 'house spirits.'

This Penguin Classics edition is translated with notes by Ronald Wilks, and an introduction by J. Douglas Clayton.These stories from the middle period of Chekhov''s career include - influenced by his own experiences as a doctor - ''Ward No. 6'', a savage indictment of the medical profession set in a mental hospital; ''The Black Monk'', portraying an academic who has strange hallucinations, explores ideas of genius and insanity; ''Murder'', in which religious fervour leads to violence; while in ''The Student'', Chekhov''s favourite story, a young man recounts a tale from the gospels and undergoes a spiritual epiphany. In all the stories collected here, Chekhov''s characters face madness, alienation and frustration before they experience brief, ephemeral moments of insight, often earned at great cost, where they confront the reality of their existence.This is the second in three chronological volumes of Chekhov''s short stories in Penguin Classics.
