    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
In this Century Men still control almost all of ‘who’ and ‘what’ gets published.  It is an unfair world but these male authors are also very gifted and none could argue with their status here.  Their stories throw light onto the ills and dark corners of societies flaws and the damning rules that oppress the many.

    Welcome to our digital audiobook collection of Irish writings, featuring three thought-provoking works by some of Ireland's greatest writers. 
 
First up is Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal," a satirical essay that takes a darkly humorous approach to addressing the poverty and suffering of the Irish people in the 18th century. Swift proposes that the solution to the country's economic woes is for the wealthy to buy and eat the children of the poor. This shocking proposal is not meant to be taken seriously but rather to highlight the callousness of those in power towards the plight of the less fortunate. 
 
Next, we have "The Three Wishes", a charming folk tale that has been passed down through generations. The story follows a poor woodcutter who is granted three wishes by a fairy after showing her kindness. However, each wish comes with unintended consequences, and the woodcutter must learn the value of contentment and gratitude. 
 
Finally, we have "Law in Ireland" by Maria Edgeworth, a renowned Irish novelist and literary figure. In this essay, Edgeworth explores the legal system in Ireland and the challenges faced by those seeking justice. She draws on personal experiences and observations to offer a nuanced perspective on the flaws and strengths of the system and proposes potential solutions. 
 
This collection offers a diverse range of works that showcase the wit, humor, and insight of Irish writers. With expert narration and immersive sound design, our digital audiobook collection brings these stories to life, making them accessible to listeners around the world.

    As a child of an incarcerated father, Antong Lucky grew up in an impoverished, crime-ridden neighborhood in East Dallas, Texas, born at the same time as East Dallas experienced an alarming rise in crack cocaine and heroin use. Despite his high grades and passion for learning, Antong is introduced to gang life and its consequences. 
 
 
  
Eventually, Antong forms the Dallas Bloods gang, inaugurating a period in the 1990s of escalating retaliatory gun violence buoyed by a lucrative illegal drug enterprise until he is ultimately arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison. His journey through the doors of transformation came through the pain of incarceration and introspection that caused him to question the cognitive distortions embedded in him since childhood. 
 
 
  
Once in prison, Antong denounced his gang affiliation and began working to unite rival gangs, quickly rising to become one of the most respected and sought-after mentors in prison. A spiritual transformation further inspired Antong to return to his old neighborhood after early release, seeking to align with like-minded people dedicated to challenging systemic issues in U.S. communities through collective efforts. A Redemptive Path Forward will take its place among the broadening canon of titles championing and investigating prison reform and societal transformation.
