Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story0
H.H. Munro (Saki) is one of the undisputed masters of the short story. In this complete compendium, the full gamut of his subjects and themes is experienced. His stories are imbued with humorous satire, biting irony, and often the macabre, all of which have one target: the stupidities and hypocrisies of Edwardian upper-class society.

Story0
Gogol's phantasmagorical tale about a man whose nose decides to abscond and begin living a life of its own is one of the earliest and most celebrated examples of absurdist literature. Apart from its recondite humor, it is remarkable for Gogol's skill in characterization and his ability to paint a picture of contemporary life in Russia in a few verbal brushstrokes.

This collection of short stories encompasses 20 years of work by Howard Fast, including some of his best-known and most treasured tales. Not merely fantasy or science fiction, these "Zen stories" explore the world’s mysterious and unanswerable questions, big and small, and the results are at once bizarre, humorous, chilling, and poignant. An American general shoots down what appears to be an angel during a Vietnam War battle, a celebrated author becomes a hunted man, and a mouse is granted human thought and emotion by a group of alien beings.

Story0
Penniless and downtrodden at the loss of his wife and one of his daughters, Samuel Clemens turned to writing. The short stories and essays in Letters from the Earth find Clemens—under the pseudonym of Mark Twain—at perhaps his most quizzical and questioning state ever. Written as diary entries, Twain penned a series of letters from the point of view of a dejected angel on Earth who observes the many curious natures of man. These pieces, gathered by Twain's literary executor, feature sharp takes on the inconsistencies of Christianity and farcical criticisms of American life.

Story0
Partiendo desde la idea de que todo es inciatico, Alejandro Jodorowsky nos presenta un libro interpretativo que si bien podría ser de los sueños, se acerca al lenguaje coloquial de los chistes desde un punto de vista filosófico zen. Los chistes nos muestran una satirización de la realidad, una manera de ver a lo cotidiano como algo tan absurdo y real, algo que le podría suceder hasta al más proclive de los seres sin encontrar un razón o un sentido más que algo que paso.

Dieses Hörbuch enthält in einer Auswahl Sostschenkos satirische Texte von den zwanziger Jahren bis zu Kriegsbeginn. Der sozialistische Alltag mit seinen Zumutungen und Absurditäten bot dem Autor reichlich Stoff. Sei es ein Klinikaufenthalt, der zum Albtraum wird, die schwierige Wohnungssuche, Warenknappheit, Liebeshändel oder kleine Gaunereien – Sostschenko ist nichts Menschliches fremd. Der Leser weiß oft nicht, ob er weinen oder lachen soll. Am besten beides gleichzeitig.

Story0
In his first published work in prose, James Joyce paints vivid portraits of the people of Dublin, his city of birth, in a collection of stories whose larger purpose, he said, was to depict a "moral history of Ireland". From the first story, in which a young boy encounters death, to the haunting final story involving the middle-aged Gabriel, the book gives an unflinching and realistic portrayal of "dear, dirty Dublin" in the early 20th-century.
