LibriVox’s Short Story Collection 054: a collection of 20 short works of fiction in the public domain read by a group of LibriVox members.

These 18 wonderful short stories by Eleanor H. Porter, the author of Pollyanna, deal with those marvelous and maddeningly frustrating creatures: human beings. As always, Porter describes real people with sensitivity and an insight into all of their variety that makes you say "I knew someone just like that". She is able to capture the faded, but not quite extinguished, dreams of the elderly and the bright hopes of youth. The theme of this collection is how we humans deal with life and love throughout our lives, "Across the Years", no matter where we are or what era we live in.

Are you wishing sometimes that you had a good book which you don't know, that you might just read and enjoy? The goal of this collection is to introduce you to as many books as possible. Some are well known, some are not.

Neben den "Alemannischen Gedichten" sind die Kalendergeschichten das zweite bekannte Werk von Johann Peter Hebels. Er verfaßte sie für den Rheinländischen Hausfreund. Dieser alte lutherisch-badische Landkalender hatte Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts Absatzschwierigkeiten, und Hebel war Mitglied einer Kommission, die Verbesserungsvorschläge erarbeiten sollte. Im Laufe der Diskussionen wurde Hebel schließlich Redakteur für den neuen Kalender, der den Namen Rheinländischer Hausfreund trug und erstmals 1807 erschien. Eine der wichtigsten Neuerungen des Hausfreundes war der vergrößerte Textteil, in dem "lehrreiche Nachrichten und lustige Geschichten" veröffentlicht wurden. Hebel selbst verfasste j...

At the time of his death at the age of 28, Stephen Crane had become an important figure in American literature. He was nearly forgotten, however, until two decades later when critics revived interest in his life and work. Stylistically, Crane's writing is characterized by vivid intensity, distinctive dialects, and irony. Common themes involve fear, spiritual crises and social isolation. Although recognized primarily for The Red Badge of Courage, which has become an American classic, Crane is also known for short stories such as "The Open Boat", "The Blue Hotel", "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky", and The Monster. His writing made a deep impression on 20th century writers, most prominent amo...
