Showing results for "On Earth" in Short Stories

The Unreal and the Real is a major event not to be missed. In this two-volume selection of Ursula K. Le Guin's best short stories--as selected by the National Book Award winning author herself--the reader will be delighted, provoked, amused, and faced with the sharp, satirical voice of one of the best short story writers of the present day. Where on Earth explores Le Guin's earthbound stories which range around the world, from small town Oregon to middle Europe in the middle of revolution to summer camp.

Kasia Van Schaik’s debut story collection follows the journey of Charlotte Ferrier, a child of divorce raised by a single mother in a small town in British Columbia after moving from South Africa. Mother and daughter wait out the end of a bad year in a Mexican hotel; a friendship is tested as forest fires demolish Charlotte’s town; a childhood friend disappears while travelling through Europe; and a girl on the beach examines the memories of dying jellyfish. The stories traverse the most intimate and transforming moments of female experience in a world threatened by ecological crisis.

As the events of our day unfold, all around the world, questions plague the minds of observers in all walks of life. The biggest question of all is, how will it all end? Are we headed for a Bible-styled Apocalypse and Armageddon? With these and similar concerns in mind, the purpose of this book is to provide a glimpse of what the future of our world looks like, from a biblical point of view. While fictitious on the one hand, it is no less Bible-based, and keyed to (more or less), or, rooted in 3 commentaries written by Mr. Alvin Mitchell
