कहानियां मनोरंजक और आनंदप्रद दोनों हो सकती हैं। वे अंतर्दृष्टि और ज्ञान से भरी हो सकती हैं, ख़ासकर जब उन्होंने सदियों से पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी सफ़र किया हो, और हर पुनर्कथन के साथ नए अर्थ अपनाए और छोड़े हों।.

Stories can be both entertaining and educative. They can also be insightful and illuminating, especially when they have travelled down the generations, through the centuries, taking on and eliding new meanings with each retelling. In this genre-bending book, the first of a series, Amish and Bhavna dive into the priceless treasure trove of the ancient Indian epics, as well as the vast and complex universe of Amish's Meluha (through his Shiva Trilogy and Ram Chandra Series), to explore some of the key concepts of Indian philosophy.

Thirteen authors (fifteen if you count pseudonyms) from the Book View Cafe got together one rainy Saturday afternoon with a big bowl of popcorn and reruns of Buck Rogers. They started comparing short stories and a new anthology took form. Rare reprints, hard-to-find favorites, and new tales all combine in this one-of-a-kind story collection, available exclusively from Book View Press.

Lambda Award-winning editor Richard Labonté leaves no fetish unfulfilled in this new collection of gay erotica. This steamy collection contains a wide range of erotic short stories for listeners with a taste for sizzling storylines and uninhibited, unrepentant mansex. Scott Promfret, coauthor of the Romentics series of gay romance novels, contributes "The Competitor", in which a hunky athlete unexpectedly meets his match at the gym. Cat Tailor's rollicking "Delta Boys" finds four randy soldier boys, back from the frontlines, living out their fantasies in a sleazy motel room.

What is it about cops that so excites gay men? Could it be the buzz cut and chiseled jaw, those bulging thighs under tight blue serge, the cool mirrored glasses that reflect unbridled lust in the eyes (and other body parts) of their beholders? Maybe it's the promise of punishment at the end of a nightstick. Perhaps it's the sheer pleasure of transgression ? of getting down and dirty with a man who's supposed to enforce the law but seems more interested in the perp than in his crime.

A collection of stories capturing what it means to be a cowboy.

For thousands of years, we have set out sailing for all kinds of reasons - for battle, for infinite wealth, for the excitement of exploring the unknown, and for escape from the mundane. We have always had a primal relationship with the sea - even those who have never been to sea remain fascinated by the seafaring life and tales of salty adventure. Now in a brand–new series collection, The Best Sailing Stories Ever Told brings together such diverse authors as Charles Dickens, Jack London, John Masefield, Stephen Crane, Herman Melville, and dozens more.

Truckers have long been ingrained in the American popular imagination, celebrated in movies like Smokey and the Bandit and many a country-western ballad. They're also a favorite queer sexual icon, joining such types as sailors, cops, firemen, and other guys who "service society". For some gay men, life on the road conjures up images of hairy, sweaty, blue-collar joes traveling from town to town in their big 18-wheelers, pulling into all-night diners, gas stations, cheap motels, and highway rest stops for sex.

Sette racconti, sette storie, sette viaggi verso non si sa dove. Intorno a ognuno di noi, dentro a ognuno di noi, c'è sempre una parte oscura, un lato in ombra che la luce della ragione ha timore di illuminare per paura di ritrovarsi sconfitta. E in questa zona buia e fantastica si muovono i personaggi di questa antologia, uomini e donne che si trasformano in vittime o carnefici quando si trovano all'improvviso di fronte a un mondo sconosciuto, a un nuovo volto nello specchio, a quella cupa forma di angoscia che solo l'incomprensibile può trasformare in orrore.

Hay muchas maneras de decir adiós, hay instantes únicos en los que la ficción y la memoria se hibridan y enraízan en una misma página para exhibir la red de una despedida. De este umbral doloroso germinan las historias encadenadas con las que Clara Obligado nos acerca a tres mujeres y sus profundas pérdidas, a los diversos espacios y tiempos en que les tocó vivir.

Un grupo de mujeres que se resiste a la sordidez del paso del tiempo; dos amigas de vacaciones en un paisaje imponente, donde acecha la oscuridad y el pasado como un animal feroz; dos hermanas que retrasan desprenderse de las cenizas de su madre en el mar; una pareja que vive en la tensión del conflicto permanente. Con la mirada y el oído atentos a lo terrible, pero también a lo bello, los cuentos de Magalí Etchebarne, plenos en maestría, inteligencia y humor, se internan en la vida de unos personajes en constante batalla con el dolor.

Detengámonos en la «avidez», la nuestra y la de otros. La de todos. El deseo, la ansiedad, la ambición, la codicia. Lina Meruane nos expone a los sentidos materiales y metafóricos de esta palabra a través de una multitud de madres e hijas insaciables, de hermanas incisivas, de amigas y amantes afiladas así como de hombres salvajes y animales cuya hambre alimenta el amor y el odio, la miseria y el castigo, el resentimiento, el perdón. Un universo obsesivo por el que discurren objetos que cobran vida, cuerpos que la pierden, que se mutilan y se desgajan.

La selva que rodea y que acecha. Carreteras secundarias y arroyos de lluvia. Una finca llamada Alegría. Vidas de quienes rara vez consiguen lo que quieren, vidas de ida y vuelta, vidas acomodadas a la violencia o que desaparecen de un zarpazo. Con su obra, Margarita García Robayo combina existencias, espacios y tiempos porque uno puede llenar el hueco de historias, y las historias de más huecos y esos huecos de más historias: la vida es una historia que contiene otra y que contiene otra. Uno no está condenado a una sola historia.

Con trazo lírico, despojado e irónico, Katya Adaui ensaya su teoría de la paternidad: un mapa opaco en el que los seres humanos rastrean con fuerza e inteligencia cómo sobrevivir a la crianza. Pudorosos ante lo íntimo, apaciguados con los parecidos, enervados por lo familiar, esquivan los golpes, afrontan los abandonos y buscan cualquier prueba de ternura y felicidad para redimirlos. Porque en Geografía de la oscuridad son los hijos y las hijas quienes conocen la verdad de ese disfraz al que llamamos padre.

Ralph Core, non più direttore del Worldwide Chronicle ma finalmente scrittore a tempo pieno, presenta a Londra la sua ultima opera, Vite giocate, che tratta della tragica spedizione inglese del 1924 per la conquista dell’Everest, in cui persero la vita il capo degli scalatori George Mallory e il compagno di cordata Andrew Irvine.Il suo libro, che esplora il dramma umano dei protagonisti di quella tragedia, suscita presto l’interesse di due importanti produttori che intendono trarne un film e chiedono a Core di partecipare alla sceneggiatura.

Nueve cuentos entrelazados por los destellos breves, por las ausencias perennes, por el afán cotidiano, por la búsqueda creativa, por la evidencia de la vida misma de unos personajes que esperan, de una posible memoria y biografía propias y reconocibles en una escritura que es súplica e incendio, en una literatura que nos quema. La vida entre las manos de Eloy Tizón.
