    ‘The sweetness of her glance – or rather, my evil star already in its
    ascendant and drawing me to my ruin – did not allow me to hesitate
    for a moment...’ So begins the story of Manon Lescaut, a tale of
    passion and betrayal, of delinquency and misalliance, which moves
    from early 18th-century Paris – with its theatres, assemblies, and
    gaming-houses – via prison and deportation to a tragic denouement
    in the treeless wastes of Louisiana. It is one of the great love stories,
    and also one of the most enigmatic: how reliable a witness is Des
    Grieux, Manon’s lover, whose tale he narrates? Is Manon a thief and
    a whore, the image of love itself, or a thoroughly modern woman?
    Prévost is careful to leave the ambiguities unresolved, and to lay bare
    the disorders of passion.

    "The Solid Muldoon" is an short story by Rudyard Kipling: There had been a royal dog-fight in the ravine at the back of the rifle-butts, between Learoyd's Jock and Ortheris's Blue Rot-both mongrel Rampur hounds, chiefly ribs and teeth. It lasted for twenty happy, howling minutes, and then Blue Rot collapsed and Ortheris paid Learoyd three rupees, and we were all very thirsty. A dog-fight is a most heating entertainment, quite apart from the shouting, because Rampurs fight over a couple of acres of ground. Later, when the sound of belt-badges clicking against the necks of beer-bottles had died away, conversation drifted from dog to man-fights of all kinds. Humans resemble red-deer in some respects. Any talk of fighting seems to wake up a sort of imp in their breasts, and they bell one to the other, exactly like challenging bucks. This is noticeable even in men who consider themselves superior to Privates of the Line: it shows the Refining Influence of Civilization and the March of Progress

    Short story written by Jack London The Son of the Wolf consists of a single man who is known as Mckenzie or "Scruff". The story tells of the hardships of what single men had to endure on the frontier. Often men would venture on journeys that may consist of months or even years just in order to find the right suitor. Scruff had been the toughest of the tough and had lasted the longest on the frontier without the company of a woman. 
    This story connects with naturalism by showing that nature can be just as cruel as it can be forgiving if someone is alone on the frontier.

    "The Emperor's New Clothes" (Danish: Kejserens nye Klæder) is a short tale written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, about two weavers who promise an emperor a new suit of clothes that they say is invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. When the emperor parades before his subjects in his new clothes, no one dares to say that they don't see any suit of clothes on him for fear that they will be seen as "unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent". Finally, a child cries out, "But he isn't wearing anything at all!" The tale has been translated into over 100 languages.
