The Complete Fiction by Francis Wyndham Pdf

In his more than eighty years, Francis Wyndham has published very little—one novella and two collections of stories—but his is one of the most individual and compelling bodies of work by a contemporary English writer. As Alan Hollinghurst has said, Wyndham’s fiction stands in the tradition of social comedy that goes back through Henry James to Jane Austen, with this difference: Wyndham writes about the lives of privileged and even titled people, but he is drawn to outcasts and odd ducks, adolescents, lonely women, addicts, eccentrics, and idlers. The earliest stories here, gathered under the title Out of the War, are brilliant vignettes of deprivation and desire written during World War II. The later Mrs Henderson and Other Stories, by contrast, offers scrupulously observed tragicomic pictures of the vagaries of upper-class English family life. Finally, in the Whitbread Prize–winning short novel The Other Garden, a shy teenage boy living in the country strikes up an unlikely friendship with Kay, the thirty-something daughter of neighbors, sister to a famous actor, and black sheep of her family. Kay, with her whims and crazes and boyfriends, is unable to hold her own against her family’s disapproval, and the narrator watches with helpless fascination as her small but very real tragedy is played out against the background of the Second World War.

Pulp Fiction by Jason Bailey Pdf

When Pulp Fiction was released in theaters in 1994, it was immediately hailed as a masterpiece. The New York Times called it a “triumphant, cleverly disorienting journey,” and thirty-one-year-old Quentin Tarantino, with just three feature films to his name, became a sensation: the next great American director. Nearly twenty years later, those who proclaimed Pulp Fiction an instant classic have been proven irrefutably right. In Pulp Fiction: The Complete Story of Quentin Tarantino’s Masterpiece, film expert Jason Bailey explores why Pulp Fiction is such a brilliant and influential film. He discusses how the movie was revolutionary in its use of dialogue (“You can get a steak here, daddy-o,” “Correct-amundo”), time structure, and cinematography—and how it completely transformed the industry and artistry of independent cinema. He examines Tarantino’s influences, illuminates the film’s pop culture references, and describes its phenomenal legacy. Unforgettable characters like Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), Vincent Vega (John Travolta), Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), and Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) are scrutinized from all-new angles, and memorable scenes—Christopher Walken’s gold watch monologue, Vince’s explanation of French cuisine—are analyzed and celebrated. Much like the contents of Marcellus Wallace’s briefcase, Pulp Fiction is mysterious and spectacular. This book explains why. Illustrated throughout with original art inspired by the film, with sidebars and special features on everything from casting close calls to deleted scenes, this is the most comprehensive, in-depth book on Pulp Fiction ever published.

H. P. Lovecraft Cthulhu Mythos Tales by H. P. Lovecraft Pdf

The complete Cthulhu Mythos by master horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, now with a creatively embroidered cover. The Cthulhu Mythos is a collection of 23 loosely connected short stories by H. P. Lovecraft, one of the earliest masters of dark fantasy and horror.

For the few mortals who dare to glimpse this unknowable world, the result is a complete disconnection from what was once considered reality. Lovecraft’s stories are grim, fantastical, dark, horrifying—and yet endlessly fascinating. This Crafted Classics edition features a decorative cover to give the book a unique embroidered appearance.

The Complete Fiction of Nella Larsen by Nella Larsen Pdf

A remarkable volume that brings together the complete fiction of the author of Passing and Quicksand, one of the most gifted writers of the Harlem Renaissance. • "An original and hugely insightful writer." —The New York Times Throughout her short but brilliant literary career, Nella Larsen wrote piercing dramas about the black middle class that featured sensitive, spirited heroines struggling to find a place where they belonged. Passing, Larsen’s best-known work, is a disturbing story about the unraveling lives of two childhood friends, one of whom turns her back on her past and marries a white bigot. Just as disquieting is the portrait in Quicksand of Helga Crane, half black and half white, who is unable to escape her loneliness no matter where and with whom she lives. Race and marriage offer few securities here or in the other stories in this compulsively readable collection, rich in psychological complexity and imbued with a sense of place that brings Harlem vibrantly to life.

Mrs. Henderson by Francis Wyndham Pdf

The five stories in this second collection by the author of Out of the War are magical and unsettling. How will things end for Henderson after he slips out of the school window to go home to his beauteous, his mysterious mother, who, he assures his friend, has a perfectly serviceable penis? What force lies within Horus, the Egyptian falcon god, treasured by a general, sold after his death by his younger son, repurchased by Jack, "The Half Brother," and sold again by the younger son after Jack's death? Jack, a fantastic athlete, drunkard and womanizer, madly superstitious ("Did you hear a terrible crash in the middle of the night? That was me, touching wood"), turns up again in the novella "Ursula." The title character, Jack's sister, travels home to England for his funeral from New York, where she lives in Harlem with a black actress and indulges in fuzzy-minded egalitarianism, championing blacks that even other blacks repudiate. Her arrival serves to reintroduce characters we have met before, here fully realized. "The Ground Hostess" tells of a man who, to deflect the attentions of two friends, invents a double romance for himselfa woman because the female friend thinks he's gay, a man because the male friend thinks he's straight. In due course, these conjured-up spirits take on flesh. This quirky collection makes one marvel and laugh out loud.
