Telling Tales de Nadine Gordimer

Telling Tales

Editat de Nadine Gordimer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2004
Along with making music, the art of storytelling is the oldest form of enchantment as entertainment.  The twenty-one stories in this anthology are written in different 'voices' - vividly individual styles - and all have come together to bring the joy of reading to whoever takes up this remarkable collection. 
All twenty-one writers have given their stories without any fee or royalty.  The publishers of each edition in each country where the anthology is published have produced the book without receiving any profit or royalty. 
Musicians have given their talents for the benefit of the forty million men, women and children infected with HIV and AIDS worldwide.  These writers have decided that they too wanted to contribute in some way to the fight against the pandemic disease from which no country, no individual, is safely isolated.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Rarely have world writers of such variety and distinction appeared together in the same anthology. Their stories capture the range of emotions and situations of our human universe: tragedy, comedy, fantasy, satire, dramas of sexual love and of war in different continents and cultures. They are not about HIV / AIDS. But all twenty-one writers have given their stories--chosen by themselves as representing some of the best of their lifetime work as storytellers--without any fee or royalty.

Telling Tales is being published in more than twelve countries. The publisher's profits from the sales of this book will go to HIV / AIDS preventive education and for medical treatment for people living with the suffering this pandemic infection brings to our contemporary world. So when you buy this unique anthology of renowned storytellers as a gift or for your own reading pleasure, you are also making a gift to combat the plague of our new millennium.
