The Top 10 Short Stories - Nordic: The Top 10 Short Stories of All Time by Nordic Authors [Book]

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.

Some names are familiar, some decidedly not. But each has literary talents and compelling narratives.1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - Nordic - An Introduction2 - The Amputated Arms by Jorgen Wilhelm Bergsoe3 - Pioneers by Juhani Aho4 - The Nursemaid by Minna Canth5 - Glahn's Death by Knut Hamsun6 - Photographer and Philosopher by August Strindberg7 - A Dry Spell by Eimar H Kvaran8 - Norvick's Old Man by Anna Wahlenburg9 - The Story of a Mother by Hans Christian Anderson10 - Mistress Bine by Cornelia Levetzow11 - The Father by Bjornstjerne Bjornson
