Top 10 Short Stories – The 1920’s – The Men 

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‚Top Tens‘ across many different themes and authors. 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. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.War has ruined Nations and peoples. Revolution has followed in some. In the aftermath society slowly picks itself up, unaware that collapse is already beginning to ferment in its economic bastions. The authors of this decade are purposeful with their prose, describing and detailing with stories the brazen nature of this decade.
