Resultados para "The Confession" en Antologías y relatos breves

This is a story from the Normandy Stories collection. Maupassant is hailed as one of the greatest masters of the short story. This collection focuses upon the land he knew and loved so well - Normandy. Its people and its countryside are portrayed here in vivid color and with great warmth. Amusing, saucy, and sometimes even farcical they may be, but they are also capable of great pathos, often branching off to end tragically.

Undici Racconti. Unidici storie unite solo dalla provenienza, la penna dell'autore. Unidici racconti che ruotano attorno all'amore e la morte, apici alternanti dell'esistenza. La Morte che tutto appiana. La Morte che glorifica. La Morte che vive. L'amore che finisce e quello che cerca di decollare, sembra che spicchi il volo, ma nulla. L'amore, le sue promesse e illusioni. Ed infine una confessione che libera lo scrittore.

They arrive alive. They always leave dead. But before they go, they tell me everything. My name’s Jack Steen, night nurse in an asylum for the criminally insane—where mercy is optional, and every secret comes with a pulse that’s fading fast. My job isn’t to save them. It’s to listen. For years, I’ve recorded their deathbed confessions in the dead of night, one story at a time. What began as whispers caught on tape has now been transcribed—unedited, unfiltered, raw. These aren’t stories meant to be read so much as listened to, in the quiet hours when even your own heartbeat sounds too loud.

I’ve often wondered at the meaning lurking behind the reported final words—moose, Indian—of Henry David Thoreau. For some reason, I’ve always imagined a somewhat dark, untold tale at their root. MOOSE. INDIAN. is just such a reimagining of Thoreau’s first trip to the Maine Woods—as he recalls the uncomfortably gruesome truth on his deathbed.
