Norwegian Folk Tales

Peter Asbjornsen

Norwegian Folk Tales

Asbjornsen and Moe were inspired by the German folklore collectors, the Brothers Grimm, and followed their approach to preserving these ancient tales. Asbjornsen and Moe collected and published numerous volumes of folk tales in Norwegian from 1841 to 1859 and their work became a source of great pride for the recently independent Norway. The tales were first translated into English in 1859 which helped to make Norwegian folklore popular all over the world. In this entertaining collection, the...

Byna liefde

Izak de Vries

Byna liefde

Kortverhale op die snykant van die liefde, dit is Izak de Vries se jongste bundel. Kitsliefde oor die internet, ongebreidelde begeerte, oop verhoudings . . . bevredig dit die mens se soeke na die liefde? Begeerte, wys hy, bly lewend deur die onvervulbaarheid daarvan. Die liefde bly daarom, soos skryfwerk oor die liefde, altyd net dit: byna liefde.

Die nuwe Afrikaanse Prosaboek

Die nuwe Afrikaanse prosaboek is ’n viering van verskeidenheid. Dit bied ’n verruimende, vars blik op die Afrikaanse kortverhaal met sowel klassieke verhale deur welbekende skrywers asook voorheen ongepubliseerde verhale deur nuwe stemme. Jan Rabie, wat in die laat-1950’s die kontoere van die literêre landskap verlê het met sy soms absurde, soms filosofiese, soms politieke “prosas”, dien as inspirasie. Met Rabie-verhale as invalshoek is hierdie ’n bloemlesing van eggo’s, spore en teenspraak in...

Hierdie vyfde bundel oor die wel en wee van Stoffel Mathysen – veldkenner, bewaringskundige en safarileier – bied ’n nuwe invalshoek en nuwe ervarings. Hoewel hy reeds dekades lank in Suider-Afrika werk, neem sy ekspedisies na Midde-Afrika hom tot in die hart van die ware, ongetemde Afrika.

Die dag toe ek my hare losgemaak het

Hierdie debuutbundel kortverhale beeld op treffende en insiggewende wyse Mia Ragel Albertyn se grootwordervarings uit – in Kaapstad en op die familieplaas buite Ladismith, van twaalfjarige kind tot ’n jong moeder. Voorop staan telkens die komplekse verhoudings binne die familie, en onderliggend is die helende krag van “storie” en verbeelding in Mia en haar pa se lewe: dit is ook haar redding uit die erflas van depressie.

The Collected Short Stories of Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton was an American novelist, poet and short story writer whose works display her mastery over the realistic fiction genre. Although she grew up in a world of refined manners and fashionable people, she was also aware of its superficiality, a theme that frequently appeared in her works. She began writing short stories and poetry at a young age, impressing such literary figures as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and William Dean Howells. Her stories range widely from powerful social...

The Last Wilkie's

Temper trantrums, doomed relationships, failed businesses, Magellan's crew and house-hunting… This is, at first glance, a quite disparate collection of stories. The settings range from New York, Texas and San Francisco to Sydney, Lismore and Malaysia. The characters vary in age from three years old in 'Rights of Man' to nonagenarians in 'Shady Oaks.' And yet this varied assemblage of work is unified by core themes that speak to us all: the search for one's place in...

The Best Tales of Hoffmann

E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) was perhaps one of the two or three greatest of all writers of fantasy. His wonderful tales, translated into many languages and adapted into numerous stage works, have delighted readers for a century and a half. They open our eyes to an extraordinary world of fantasy, poetry, and the supernatural. Remarkable characters come vividly to life. With exciting speed, Hoffmann moves from the firm ground of reality to ambiguity, mystery, and romance. His imaginativeness is...

Sicilian Stories

With his novels, short stories, and plays, Giovanni Verga (1840–1922) achieved renown in the Italian verismo (realist) school of writing. This outstanding selection of 12 short stories — most from the Sicilian writer's Vita dei campi (Rural Life) and Novelle rusticane (Rustic Stories) — attests to his storytelling skills.Selections include «Nedda,» a short story that initiated Verga's naturalistic depictions of Sicilian peasant life; the much-celebrated...
