The Collected Short Stories. MultiBook

David Wright OBrien

The Collected Short Stories is a collection of short adventure stories from pioneering American fantasy and science fiction writer David Wright OBrien (19181944). A nephew of Farnsworth Wright, editor of Weird Tales, OBrien was 22 years old when his first story Truth Is a Plague! appeared in the February 1940 issue of Amazing Stories. There were about forty stories and novels under his own name plus others under various pseudonyms, including John York Cabot, Bruce Dennis, Duncan Farnsworth, Richard Vardon and others. Some of OBriens work was space opera or other routine adventure, but many of his stories betray a strain of humor, not unlike Henry Kuttners at that time. OBrien was a sharp and creative writer who liked stories of madcap invention as well as adventure.

Carmen

Prosper Mérimée

Nowela opowiada historię hiszpańskiego żołnierza José, którego miłość do pięknej Cyganki Carmen zwiodła na złą drogę. Aby zaskarbić sobie uczucie wybranki, bohater wikła się w środowisko przestępcze i posuwa się do niegodziwych działań. Stawia na szali własną karierę i reputację, tylko czy w ten sposób osiągnie cel? Utwór przesycony jest folklorem hiszpańskich Cyganów, który nadaje mu niepowtarzalny koloryt. Opowiadanie Prospera Mériméego rozsławiła opera Georgesa Bizeta pod tym samym tytułem. Po pierwszym wystawieniu, z uwagi na nowatorstwo formy, przyjęta z lekceważeniem, już po drugim podbiła światowe sceny operowe, stając się jedną z najsłynniejszych oper w historii.

Rogue River Feud

Zane Grey

Zane Gray had a hut on the Robber, and his affection and passion for this epic river make her the main theme of the book.It is the best writing about the Rogue that has been done before or since and poetically and descriptively traces the river from its birth below Crater Lake to its dispersal into the Pacific and then picks up a school of salmon and takes them all the way back up the river to spawn. Environmental organizations attempting to save Northwest salmon should be handing Rogue River Feud to anyone who will take a copy.
