Just So Stories (1902) by Rudyard Kipling, and illustrated by Joseph M. Gleeson and Rudyard Kipling. The Color Illustrations are by Joseph M. Gleeson and were originally published by Doubleday & Company, in 1912 the Black & white images are by Rudyard Kipling. Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He is chiefly remembered for his tales and poems of British soldiers in India and his tales for children. This stories are highly fantasized origin stories and are among Kipling's best known works. The Just So Stories have a typical theme of a particular animal being modified from an original form to its current form by the acts of man, or some magical being. For example, the Whale has a tiny throat from a swallowed mariner who tied a raft in there to block the whale from swallowing others. The Camel has a hump given to him by a djinn as punishment for the camel refusing to work (the hump allows the camel to work longer between eating). The Leopard has spots painted on him by an Ethiopian (after the Ethiopian painted himself black). The Kangaroo gets its powerful hind legs, long tail, and hopping gait after being chased all day by a dingo.. [more]

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896–1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age, a term he coined. Includes short stories collections: All the Sad Young Men; Taps at Reveille; and the short story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and fifty-five (55) other short stories. Today, F. Scott Fitzgerald is known for his novels, but in his lifetime, his fame stemmed from his prolific achievement as one of America's most gifted (and best-paid) writers of stories and novellas. This masterpieces range from early stories that capture the fashion of the times to later ones written after the author's fabled crack-up, which are sober reflections on his own youthful excesses. Included are classic novellas, such as "The Rich Boy," "The Strange Case of Benjamin Button". Together, these forty-three stories compose a vivid picture of a lost era, but their brilliance is timeless. As Malcolm Cowley once wrote, "Fitzgerald remains an exemplar and archetype, but not of the 1920s alone; in the end he represents the human spirit in one of its permanent forms." This essential collection is ample testament to that statement, and a monument to the genius of one of the great voices in the history of American literature. [more]

Mafia Stories handelt von Kevin und Carlos, beides Söhne italienischer Einwanderer, dessen Väter in Amerika das große Glück gesucht, es aber nicht gefunden haben. Beide verdienen sich ein wenig Geld durch mal mehr, mal weniger legale Jobs dazu, allerdings ohne in diesem Milieu richtig Fuss zu fassen. Das ändert sich, als der Mafiosi Dexter ihnen ein Angebot macht... Seit dem geht es aufwärts. Kevin und Carlos kommen immer mehr in das Getriebe des organisierten Verbrechens in los Angeles, sind dabei, wenn Schutzgeld eingetrieben und unliebsame Personen erschossen werden. Zweifel? Beide kennen keinen, denn sie wollen in ihrem Leben nur nach oben, und dabei kann man sich um Kinderkram wie Moral eben nicht immer kümmern. Über Kritik und evt. Verbesserungsvorschläge würde Ich mich jederzeit freuen, vorallem, da Ich vorhabe, irgendwann eine überarbeitete Gesamtausgabe der Geschichten zu veröffentlichen. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!! [more]
