The Complete Stories
The publication of this extraordinary volume firmly established Flannery O'Connor's monumental contribution to American fiction. There are thirty-one stories here in all, including twelve that do not appear in the only two story collections O'Connor put together in her short lifetime--Everything That Rises Must Converge and A Good Man Is Hard to Find.
Storytelling: An Encyclopedia of Mythology and Folklore
Storytelling is an ancient practice known in all civilizations throughout history. Characters, tales, techniques, oral traditions, motifs, and tale types transcend individual cultures - elements and names change, but the stories are remarkably similar with each rendition, highlighting the values and concerns of the host culture. Examining the stories and the oral traditions associated with different cultures offers a unique view of practices and traditions. "Storytelling: An Encyclopedia of Mythology and Folklore" brings past and present cultures of the world to life through their stories, oral traditions, and performance styles.
An injured motocross star has pins, screws, and a metal rod inserted into broken bones in his legs and feet to help them heal. A softball pitcher has her face rebuilt after being hit with a ball. A cancer patient receives a hip joint graft when his own joint gives out.That's powerful medicine!
