Tales That Never Grow Old

International Short Stories: English

Excerpt from Short Story Classics (Foreign), Vol. 5 Andre Theuriet born at Marly-le-Roi in 1833, went to Paris to study law, and finally became head of the Government Department of Finance. In 1857 appeared the charming collection of verse called "Chemin des Nois," which was crowned by the Academy, and which earned for the author the title of "Song Sparrow" from the great critic sainte-Beuve. Theuriet received, in 1890, the Vitel prize from the Academy for general literary excellence, and was admitted to that body in 1896. His style is sane, fresh, limpid, delicate, and rich in color. He is a lover of nature with a profound feeling for the peasant. Theuriet's standing is well assured when we consider that such men as Jules Claretie, Adolph Brisson, Francois Coppee, all contributed appreciations of theuriet in "Les Annales Politiques et Litteraires," soon after his death on April 23, 1907.

Short Story Classics (Foreign) ...

This is a wonderful Collection of Famous Examples from the Literatures of France, England and America, William Patten introduce us to the world of amazing detectives stories of Edgar Allan Poe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Anna Katharine Green, Robert Louis Stevenson, Broughton Brandenburg and B. Fletcher Robinson. The first three stories were written by Edgar Allan Poe, a trilogy of stories with related methods of construction. They were the first detective stories, and are still considered the most famous models of their kind. No collection of famous detective stories would be complete that omitted ?The Sign of the Four.? and ?A Scandal in Bohemia,? by Arthur Conan Doyle. A Scandal of Bohemia which many people consider the author?s best short story; describes the one instance in which Sherlock Holmes acknowledges himself ?beaten by a woman?s wit.? The Doctor, His Wife, and The Clock by Anna Katharine Green, has been considered her most successful effort in the short story form. The Rajah?s Diamond by Robert Louis Stevenson, the four stories published under this general title are four steps in the unraveling of the mystery of ?The Pride of Kashgar,? one marvelous diamond ?as big as a duck's egg and without a flaw. The buoyant, extravagant note of the author is one of the most refreshing things in short-story literature, and the stories have that rare quality of charm which was the peculiar grace of the author's personality. The Mystery of the Steel Disk by Broughton Brandenburg; a young Ohioan, educated at Otterbein and Princeton Universities, he served in the Spanish-American and Boer wars. He studied immigration disguised as an Italian peasant, and sea-faring life as a common sailor and stevedore. Then he began to write sea stories, immigration articles, circus stories, and occasionally unusually interesting detective stories. ?Lawrence Rand? has been the central figure in a number of tales notable for business-like handling of real people. The Chronicles of Addington Peace by B. Fletcher Robinson; a London journalist, he edited ?Vanity Fair,? and was author of a dozen detective stories in which are recorded the startling adventures of Mr. Addington Peace of Scotland Yard.
