Collection of short stories by various authors.
The Greatest Tamil Stories Ever Told showcases some of the best short fiction to emerge out of Tamil Nadu, dating from the last century to the present day. Two of the earliest stories included here are Subramania Bharati's 'The Story of a Crow Learning Prosody', a satirical tale about the exaltation of language, and 'Kalki' Krishnamurthy's 'The Governor's Visit', about how bigwigs in little places pandered to the British rulers during the time of the Raj. While some stories in this volume wrestle with the idea of public justice, as in Father Mark Stephen's 'Penance' and Sa. Kandasamy's 'The Slaying of Hiranya', others, such as Ambai's 'Journey 4', hide secrets that could destroy lives and relationships if they are ever revealed. Featuring memorable works by, among others, Bama, Perumal Murugan, and Poomani, the thirty stories in this collection, selected and edited by Sujatha Vijayaraghavan and Mini Krishnan, come together to paint a striking picture of the Tamil people.
Aesop's Fables, attributed to the legendary storyteller Aesop from ancient Greece, comprise a collection of succinct and timeless moral tales. These fables feature animal characters, each symbolizing human qualities or foibles, and they convey essential moral lessons through engaging and straightforward narratives. Their hallmark characteristics include simplicity, accessibility, and universal themes that explore human behavior, ethics, and wisdom across a wide range of scenarios. These fables remain enduring classics, such as "The Tortoise and the Hare" and "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," continuing to captivate readers of all ages by imparting moral wisdom through memorable storytelling.

This book is a fictional anthology account of all the contradictions in society across all living beings and time. This work is an imaginary front of what I have seen, heard, and thought. My fictional universe weaves the times, contexts, and characters of these stories to travel directly or indirectly in the contexts of others. These stories extrapolate my doubts and thoughts that arose in my brain while reading novels and screenplays; What if you cut the descriptions and set the account through thoughts, actions, and conversations? What if short stories are like structured commentary, dialogues, and activities for a novel? What if there are multiple climaxes and multiple faces affected within a short story? What if the life of a person with so many levels and so many fronts is determined? My initiative is the result of the struggle of those thoughts.
This is one of the many inspiring books from the renowned “Motivator” Dr. G. Francis Xavier. Evidently, this harvest of stories has been gleaned from lands he visited and books he read. Xavier, who conducts full-house personal growth courses has brought out this compendium in an interactive form, making the reader give the answers at the end of the story, which is a novel approach. Stories and examples are the best way to inspire, and this volume can be gifted to anyone. It is useful for preachers, speakers and teachers. The book appeals to readers of all ages except the morose and irredeemable negaholics (negative thinking addicts) and anti-reading teenagers. It has stories to inspire and promises uninterrupted chuckles till the end. There are also quotations on success.
