Regularly I’ll post a non-paywalled link to a short story by an interesting author. Afterwards I will repost your feedback to the stories. Throughout the month I’ll post literature related links and images.

Born #onthisday in 1608, the English poet John Milton. Pictured here is the frontispiece to his first collection of poems, which contains a far from flattering portrait of the poet, and in the Greek beneath his erudite revenge... publicdomainreview.org/collection/j... #OTD

«Non amo affatto il tempo in cui mi è toccato vivere. Non so se ne avrei preferito un altro perché il saperlo è impossibile. Quello che so è che questo tempo lo trovo detestabile e lo detesto. Non lo giudico: lo detesto.»

What a sad, strange book. After the death of her mother, a young woman is left with a violent, bullying father and his new spiteful girlfriend. What starts as a kind of Cinderella tale becomes something simultaneously more fantastic and unsettling - a story of innocence in a cruel world.
