About this book

Welcome to the book series 7 best short stories specials, a selection dedicated to a special subject, featuring works by noteworthy authors. The texts were chosen based on their relevance, renown and interest. This edition is dedicated to Black Authors. Black literature is a literary production in which the subject of the writing is the black people themselves. This cultural phenomena is very significant in countries dominated by white culture and that received forced immigrations from the slavery regime, such as the USA and Brazil. Through black literature, black characters and authors recover their integrity as human beings, breaking the vicious cycle of racism, also rooted in literary practice. In addition to short stories, this book also contains essays, biographical accounts, and poetry by pioneers of black literature, providing a rich and varied content. This book contains the following texts: Short Stories: - Violets by Alice Dunbar-Nelson; - The Boy and The Bayonet by Paul Laurence Dunbar; - The Fortune-Teller by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis; - A Matter of Principle by Charles W. Chesnutt; - The Two Offers by Frances Harper; - A Bal Masqué by Alexandre Dumas; - The New York Subway by Pauline E. Hopkins. Bonus content: - Industrial Education for the Negro by Booker T. Washington; - My Escape from Slavery by Frederick Douglass; - Bars Fight by Lucy Terry; - On Virtue by Phillis Wheatley; - An Address to the Negroes in the State of New-York by Jupiter Hammon.
