À propos de ce contenu audio

 This captivating collection showcases seven short stories from some of Englands finest writers of the turn-of-the-century. It opens with the delightful humor of J. M. Barrie, renowned for his creation of Peter Pan. Following Barrie, Israel Zangwill offers another witty tale, known for his keen insights into social and economic issues. The final contribution comes from the immensely popular Marie Corelli, whose poignant storytelling resonates deeply. Despite being less recognized than some of her contemporaries, Corellis literary sales surpassed those of Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling combined. Each writer in this anthology presents a unique style and perspective, ranging from light-hearted narratives to profound reflections on the human condition. They excel in expressing genuine emotional truths, captivating listeners with their honest storytelling, free from the distractions of melodrama or sensational plot twists. This literary quality stands out even more against the backdrop of the widespread suffering of their time. While they initially draw us into scenes of hardship, they skillfully navigate towards themes of kindness and grace, leaving us enriched, moved, and thoughtful. - Summary by Kirsten WeverCopyright Romance Stories Art Science Sciences sociales
