Title: Great Mistake: A Stephen Crane Story

Author: Stephen Crane

Narrator: Deaver Brown, Harvard AB & MBA

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2011-02-23

Publisher: Simply Magazine

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Short Stories, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

A Great Mistake, which is quite short, is an unexpected Stephen Crane jewel. Crane is best known for three short stories, The Open Boat, thought by many to be the best short story ever written, The Blue Hotel, and The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky. Simply has recorded over ten more stories that deserve to be right up there with the top three. As Simply says, this is not an NFL Power ranking, or a compare and contrast assignment. This is your opportunity to enjoy many of Crane's other illuminating and moving works. A Great Mistake relates to a common theme of coveting something out of reach, in this case on fruit cart, when fruit was a far more expensive and unobtainable product than today. The story paints the picture and sets the scene of the babe, to quote Crane's description, observing, dreaming, and scheming about seeing and getting fruit off of the Italian's fruit stand. The denouement is violent and non-violent at the same time as the Italian ...whirled him (the babe) fiercely, and took from the little fingers a lemon. Another remarkable and under-appreciated work by Mr. Crane.

Language: English

Release date: 2011-01-01

The Lost World is a 1912 novel by Arthur Conan Doyle concerning an expedition to a plateau (native name is Tepuyes) in South America (Venezuela) where prehistoric animals (dinosaurs and other extinct creatures) still survive. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. Interestingly, for a seminal work of dinosaur-related fiction, the reptiles only occupy a small portion of the narrative. Much more time is devoted to a war between early human hominids and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures. (summary by wikipedia)

What happens next proves that Christmas can't be banned from the hearts of those who truly believe in it. (Summary by Christine Dufour)

Publisher's Summary:

Ein Roman über den berühmten Findling Kaspar Hauser (angeblich: 30.4.1812 - 17. 12. 1833 in Ansbach) wurde in der Biedermeierzeit als rätselhafter Findling bekannt. Hauser taucht am 26. Mai 1828 in Nürnberg als etwa 16-jähriger, geistig anscheinend zurückgebliebener und wenig redender Jugendlicher auf. Durch seine Aussagen, dass er, solange er denken könne, bei Wasser und Brot immer ganz allein in einem dunklen Raum gefangen gehalten worden sei, erregt er großes Aufsehen. Ein Gerücht kolportierte, Hauser sei der 1812 geborene Erbprinz von Baden, den man gegen einen sterbenden Säugling getauscht und beiseite geschafft habe, um einer Nebenlinie des badischen Fürstenhauses die Thronfolge zu ermöglichen... Die Honoratioren der Stadt reichen ihn als Kuriosum herum. Bis schließlich mehrere Anschläge auf sein Leben verübt werden ... (Zusammenfassung von wikipedia und crowwings)
