Psychological Russian Stories Not by Dostoyevsky

"In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit. Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.1 - Psychological Russian Stories Not by Dostoyevsky - An Introduction2 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol3 - The Lie by Leonid Andreyev4 - Morphine by Mikhail Bulgakov5 - Her Lover by Maxim Gorky6 - The Signal by Vsevolod Garshin7 - The General's Will by Vera Jelihovsky8 - Dethroned by I N Potapenko9 - The Servant by S T Semyonov10 - The Revolutionist by Mikhail Petrovich Artzybashev11 - The City by Leonid Andreyev12 - In the Steppe by Maxim Gorky13 - Silence by Leonid Nikolaevich Andreyev14 - A Red Flower by Vsevolod Garshin"

The Foundations of Fiction - Russian Realism

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. Throughout literary history Russian writing has been both applauded and lauded as fiction of the first rank. It’s authors down the decades are many and each of them has consummate talents and knowledge that few, if any, can argue with. In this volume we present stories that explain and reveal Russian Realism, in ways that are absorbing, startling and capture a world with precise and literary verve.01 - Foundations of Fiction - Russian Realism - An Introduction2 - Diary of a Lunatic by Leo Tolstoy3 - Gooseberries by Anton Chekhov4 - An Honest Thief by Fyodor Dostoyevsky5 - Mumu by Ivan Turgenev6 - Old Fashioned Landowners by Nikolai Gogol7 - The City by Leonid Andreyev8 - Twenty-Six Men and a Girl by Maxim Gorky9 - Gentle Breathing by Ivan Bunin10 - The Signal by Vsevolod Garshin11 - The Revolutionist by Mikhail Petrovich Artzybashev12 - Dethroned by I N Potapenko13 - The General's Will by Vera Jelihovsky14 - Misery by Anton Chekhov15 - The Rendezvous by Ivan Turgenev16 - The Jew by Ivan Turgenev17 - The Bet by Anton Chekhov18 - The Murderer by Mikhail Bulgakov19 - Aloysha the Pot by Leo Tolstoy20 - The Peasant Marey by Fyodor Dostoyevsky21 - Her Lover by Maxim Gorky22 - About Love by Anton Chekhov23 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev24 - Morphine by Mikhail Bulgakov25 - Silence by Leonid Andreyev"

Inside the Mind of Madness

"To have logic, to reason things out, to have a sense of what is and isn't and what can and can't is one of the traits we identify with being human. Sad to say that sometimes there are some amongst us who lose touch with this function, are unable to bring order and control to their world. That is not only a tragedy for themselves but can also have horrific consequences on those around them. Our wordsmiths in this volume, including Leo Tolstoy, Anatole France, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Barry Pain and others explore and exploit their stories and characters in a quest to share and shape our view and experience of what it may be like inside the Mind of Madness."

The Top 10 Short Stories - Madness

"Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author's brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted 'Top Tens' across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions - Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. In this volume our esteemed authors tackle the difficult subject of madness, its forms of expressions and the usually dark consequences of its nature.

Short Stories About Mental Illness

"For many of us illness refers solely to the physical. Accidents and disease wear us down, hiccup our life from childhood to old age. But everyone empathises, understands and helps us on the road to recovery. Mental illness though can still carry a stigma. A case of 'you're not trying hard enough', 'or knuckling down and getting on with it'. But in more recent decades mental issues have come to be recognised as an illness, a disease rather than an affliction. We all remember horror stories of lobotomy's and electric shock being used to 'cure' what society viewed as anti-social behaviour but illness, mental or physical is very real. Depression, schizophrenia, breakdown, psychosis, are alarming events to have or to witness. In this volume our classic authors including Sherwood Anderson, Amy Levy, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Barry Pain and many others explore this oft neglected and most difficult of topics.1 - Short Stories About Mental Illness - An Introduction2 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol3 - The Yellow Wall Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman4 - Sokratics in the Strand by Amy Levy5 - A Complete Recovery by Barry Pain6 - Diary of a Lunatic by Leo Tolstoy7 - Adventure by Sherwood Anderson8 - Miss Ogilivy Finds Herself by Radclyffe Hall9 - Hide And Seek or Pliatki by Fyodor Sologub10 - Brothers by Sherwood Anderson11 - Fear by Catherine Wells12 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain13 - Shut Out by F Anstey14 - The Miracle by John Davys Beresford15 - The Lie by Leonid Andreyev16 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe17 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe18 - The Last of Squire Ennismore by Charlotte Riddell19 - Cohen of Trinity by Amy Levy20 - The City by Leonid Andreyev21 - In the Séance Room by Lettice Galbraith22 - A Red Flower by Vsevolod Garshin23 - Hands by Sherwood Anderson24 - Silence by Leonid Nikolaevich Andreyev25 - Paul's Case by Willa Cather"
