Download Stephen Fry Presents...A Selection of Short Stories AudioBook Free
Immerse yourself in a world where in fact the illuminating Stephen Fry reads a few of a lot more memorable short stories in our time. An excellent combination of reader and writer get together in these brief stories available on digital download. Stephen creates "Saki remains, from a distance of 100 years, just about the sharpest, cruellest, funniest & most elegant short report writer inside our dialect. Hector Hugh Monro, to provide him his real name, was an English copy writer and journalist whose life was cut short by the fantastic War. His stories often oppose mother nature and civilisation, with a lot more macabre elements of nature usually growing to win. My favourite of his stories is Sredni Vashtar, as perfect a symbolic story of the power of adolescence as is imaginable. The triumph of creativeness, sexuality and life over the repressive makes of conventionality hasn't been more properly or shockingly portrayed. The superiority of Tobermory, the chatting cat, of The unrest Treatment and the Start Window all disclose that unique blend of Wodehousian social funny with wicked cruelty.
Saki is like a perfect martini but with absinthe stirred in...heady, delightful and dangerous. Enjoy". Stephen Fry 2009.
