Feebles for the Fable-Minded【電子書籍】[ Gerald Weinberg ]

＜p＞For many years, I've insisted that I don't care much for short stories?and that's why I don't write them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Well, all these years, I've apparently been fooling myself. Not only do I like (some) short stories, I adore them. Not only that, but I write them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞How could I have been so wrong? When preparing this collection, I just realized that *fables are short stories*?and I've always loved fables.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Looking back over my reading experiences, I think I see now why I love fables so much: They have a moral, a point?a reason for existing and taking up my time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In other words, fables are short stories containing lessons. Other short (or long) stories may or may not contain lessons. Those that do contain lessons?and teach them well?those are the stories I like best.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I am not saying I don't like stories that don't contain lessons, stories that merely entertain. I like being entertained. But if I'm reading for entertainment, I don't want the entertainment to be over in a minute or two. No, I want hundreds of pages of entertainment, so I like many novels?but only if they're at least 400 pages long. The longer the better.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Anyway, I now confess that I do indeed like (some) short stories?so much so that I've actually written many of them. And most of them are fables, the stories I love. In case you don't believe me, I've produced this book, with more than a dozen fables from my collection. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞- Jerry Weinberg, Corrales, New Mexico＜/p＞ ＜p＞Table of Contents＜br /＞ Introduction＜br /＞ Feeble 1: The Fairy and the Pig＜br /＞ Feeble 2: The Phox and the Pheasants＜br /＞ Feeble 3: The Cricket Who Wanted to Play Cricket＜br /＞ Feeble 4: The Cricket Who Wanted to Play Baseball＜br /＞ Feeble 5: The Little Red Hen＜br /＞ Feeble 6: The Dog Who Read Fables＜br /＞ Feeble 7: Curly’s Squirrelly Nut Store＜br /＞ Feeble 8: The Two Stags＜br /＞ Feeble 9: The Lemmings＜br /＞ Feeble 10: The Mongrel and the Poodle＜br /＞ Feeble 11: The Goat and the Hippo＜br /＞ The Goat and the Hippo?Part 2＜br /＞ Feeble 12: The Triplets and The Leprechaun＜br /＞ Feeble 13: Lock, Stock, and Barrel＜br /＞ Feeble 14: The Two Philosophers＜br /＞ Feeble 15: The Impatient Psychiatrist＜br /＞ ADDITIONAL READING＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
