Book Description
A dazzling collection of short stories by Mark Helprin, bestselling author of Winter's Tale, which is now a major motion picture starring Colin Farrell, Jessica Brown Findlay, Russell Crowe, William Hurt, and Jennifer Connelly The Pacific and Other Stories is a collection of sixteen stories that display the remarkable scope, incomparable wit, and deft prose that have come to be Mark Helprin's signature. A British paratrooper jumps into occupied territory; the 1958 New York Yankees gain an unexpected teammate in a puny, teenaged Hasidic Jew; a September 11th widow receives an astonishing gift from the contractor working on her new apartment—these and other stories exhibit the constantly changing variety of the ocean itself, the peaks and troughs of life. Lighthearted, glittering fables are met with starker tales that sound the depths of sacrifice and duty. The Pacific and Other Stories is a resplendent, powerful collection of lasting substance and emotional import.

Book Description
"River Mist and Other Stories" is a collection of short fiction by Kunikida Doppo, a prominent writer of Japan’s Meiji era. The anthology reflects Doppo’s blend of romanticism and realism, exploring themes like personal failure, nostalgia, nature, and inner struggle. The title story, River Mist (Kawagiri), follows Ueda Toyokichi, a man who leaves his hometown with high hopes but returns after 20 years, defeated by life’s hardships. Doppo’s vivid descriptions of the mist-covered riverbanks capture both the beauty of nature and the melancholy of unfulfilled dreams. Through this and other stories, Doppo expresses his fascination with human vulnerability, often influenced by English romantic poets like Wordsworth. The collection showcases Doppo’s talent for introspective storytelling with moments of subtle humor, tragic endings, and philosophical reflection, revealing the author’s own personal trials and emotional evolution. 1 River Mist 2 Old Gen 3 The Bonfire 4 The Deer Hunt 5 Those Unforgettable People 6 The Stars 7 Third Party 8 Woman Trouble 9 Poetic Images The white cloud over the hill The two travelers Barren ground The wayside plum 10 Phantoms 11 Musashino 12 The Self-Made Man 13 Letter From Yugahara 14 Bird Of Spring 15 Meat And Potatoes
