Short Nonfiction Collections - Book 1

Title: Short Nonfiction Collections

Overview: Thousands of short stories are available through our Short Nonfiction Collections series from classic authors Ernest Hemingway, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, James Joyce, J. D. Salinger, William Faulkner, Jack London, Anton Chekhov, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Walt Whitman, Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Frederick Douglass, Charles Darwin, O Henry, Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, and many other classic authors. These nonfiction short stories provide accurate information regarding a real-world topic and may be presented either objectively or subjectively. Nonfiction is one of the fundamental divisions of narrative writing (specifically, prose) — in contrast to fiction, largely populated by imaginary characters and events, though sometimes ambiguous regarding its basis in reality. Each of the short story collections is a book of short stories that may or may not share a tone, theme, setting, or characters with one another. While specific claims in a nonfiction work may prove inaccurate, the typical author genuinely aims to be truthful at the time of their composition, offering accounts of historical or empirical facts. Systematic reporting of the beliefs of others in a nonfiction format is not necessarily an endorsement of the veracity of those beliefs, but rather an exercise in representing the topic. These short story collections are made up of smaller texts—the individual short stories—in order to form a superior whole. In spite of this, each short story does not lose any of its meaning or narrative independence by being included in a collection. This does not mean that these short stories do not gain any new meaning from being included in a collection, though. Because each story's context has changed, surrounded by other stories with their own meanings and tones, the meaning and tone of any individual story might also be affected. In addition to the individual stories, short story collections may also include notes by the author.
