Recommendation of Foreign Short Stories (1)

Sacchi is an English short story writer, whose works are famous for his wonderful and unexpected ideas. The open window is very short, but it subtly renders a strange atmosphere. At the end, the mystery is suddenly unveiled, which makes people laugh and cry, and feels reasonable. This is a typical O'Henry style ending.

2? Jacobs monkey claw

I have always loved to read thrillers with a little horror color, and Monkey's Paw is the representative work of this kind of novels. Make a wish on a monkey's paw, and your wish will come true-but the way it comes true will make you feel very painful. This is not the mercy of God, but the gift of the devil. The Monkey's Claw is a model of horror fiction because of its compact plot and progressive layers.

3? Lunch in Mao Mu

Mao Mu is an English novelist. Most of us are familiar with his novel The Moon and Sixpence. He is good at revealing human nature and analyzing people's hearts with extremely sharp brushstrokes. "Lunch" is a very interesting story. We can probably meet people who are similar to the women in it. At the end of the sentence, "She weighs 300 Jin today" makes people laugh and exclaim again and again.

4? Dude's siege of Berlin

Dude, a French writer, his "The Last Lesson" was selected as a middle school text, which is very classic and is not recommended here. The siege of Berlin is another of his masterpieces. The novel created a noble and patriotic veteran image, and his ending was particularly sad and regrettable.

5? Zweig's invisible treasure

I like Zweig's short stories very much. He is famous for his psychological description. The long psychological description is not only boring, but also extremely delicate and infectious. This book "Invisible Collection" has a wonderful idea, and the details are particularly touching. "Collectors are happy people" is true.

6? Poe? Leaking heart

Edgar allan poe is the founder of American gothic novels and detective novels. His works are particularly outstanding in describing supernatural terror, mystery and death. If you are also interested in this kind of subject matter, you must not miss his short story "The Telling Heart", which is undoubtedly a depressed, horrible and crazy novel with the characteristics of Poe.
