About this audiobook
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.
In this Century America strides into its own future. She ruptures herself in a bloody Civil War, crushes and removes Native Americans from their own sacred lands and she clothes herself as a superpower in waiting. Her literary might also begins to reach an expanding and diverse population eager for distraction from the hard labor of their lives. Our authors offer up a unique and unquestionably brilliant range of views in ten stories that helped to shape literature.

Herman Melville
Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American writer best known for the novel Moby-Dick. His first three books gained much contemporary attention, but after a fast-blooming literary success in the late 1840s, his popularity declined precipitously in the mid-1850s and never recovered during his lifetime.
