Acerca de esta escucha
When it comes to 19th-century fantasy and horror literature, you will struggle to find a name bigger than Scotland’s Robert Louis Stevenson.
Set in mid-15th-century Paris, the tale centers around Francis Villon, a man with poetic sensibilities, long since driven to crime out of desperation and poverty. After fleeing from a tavern along with all other patrons after a grisly murder is committed on premises, Villon desperately visits a series of one-time acquaintances hoping to find shelter from the cold weather and certain death. Along the way, Villon ruminates on morality, honor, and poverty.
"A Lodging for the Night" is one of the most beautifully crafted and potent of Stevenson’s short stories.

This dark psychological fantasy is more than a moral tale. It is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution and criminality, and the secret lives behind Victorian propriety, to create a unique form of urban Gothic.

Often cited as the best work of short fiction ever written, Joyce's elegant story details a New Year's Eve gathering in Dublin that is so evocative and beautiful that it prompts the protagonist's wife to make a shocking revelation to her husband - closing the story with an emotionally powerful epiphany that is unsurpassed in modern literature."The Dead" is the final short story in Joyce's 1914 collection Dubliners. It is the longest story in the collection and widely considered to be one of the greatest short stories in the English language.

Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution.

The writer who did most to establish prose as a force in Russian literary culture was Nikolai Gogol. Gogol's example combined with the pronouncements of the literary critics of the period, established prose as the literary medium of the future. Fyodor Dostoevsky is supposed to have said, referring to himself and his fellow Realists, "We have all come out from under Gogol's "Overcoat".
