Classics Read AloudThe Hounds of FateThe Hounds of Fate by Saki (H. H. Munro)“Three pounds goes but a little way in the world when there is nothing behind it, but to a man who has counted his exchequer in pennies it seems a good starting-point.”Hector Hugh Munro had an eye for irony and the humbling tricks that the universe is inclined to play upon its fallible occupants. One gets the sense in reading “The Hounds of Fate” that the story is less about the circumstances that befall this particular man, but rather that there are a million inevitabilities unfoldin...

Barbary Lane Dispatches PodcastFireside Fridays: Sredni VashtarThis first story is by Saki. If you are familiar with him, you’ll know he wrote stories with a wicked little twist. Saki was the pen name of Hector Hugh Munro — a gay British writer who was born in 1870. He had a real gift for poking fun at polite society. He wrote about dinner parties that go off the rails, children with unsettling imaginations, and the kind of people who smile sweetly while sharpening their knives under the table.There’s something wonderfully modern about him, even now — a mix of Oscar Wilde’s wit and Hitchcock’...

Βιβλιοαναγνώσεις - ηχητικά βιβλία φαντασίας στα ελληνικά - audiobooksΗ Μέθοδος Σαρτζ-Μετερκλούμε - Σάκι | Ηχητικό Βιβλίο Ελληνικά - AudiobookΤίτλος πρωτότυπου: Saki (Hector Hugh Munro) "The Schartz-Metterklume Method" (1911) Η «Μέθοδος Schartz-Metterklume» είναι μία από τις καυστικές και χιουμοριστικές ιστορίες του Εδουαρδιανού συγγραφέα Saki, που επαναστατεί ενάντια στην άκαμπτη και βαρετή ενήλικη ζωή, αλλά αυτή τη φορά η επίθεση προέρχεται από έναν άλλο ενήλικα και όχι από ένα παιδί. Η ιστορία, που πρωτοεμφανίστηκε στην Westminster Gazette στις 14 Οκτωβρίου 1911, παρουσιάζει ένα από τα αγαπημένα θέματα του Σάκι: μια περίτεχνη φάρσα που κλονίζει την υποκρισία και την αυταρέσκεια των αστών της Εδουαρδιανής εποχής, τυλιγμένη στην ακριβή πρόζα και το λαμπρό χιούμορ του Σάκι, με τον ελαφρύ τόνο να καλύπτει τη σκοτεινή φάρσα και τις ανησυχητικές υπόνοιες.Ο Σάκι, που συχνά θεωρείται μισογύνης συγγραφέας, αποκαλύπτει μια πολύ πιο αντιφατική στάση απέναντι στις γυναίκες σε αυτή την ιστορία, η οποία υπερασπίζεται την ανύπαντρη γυναίκα έναντι της παντρεμένης μητέρας μέσα σε μια ιστορία διαμάχης μεταξύ δύο αστών κυριών. Η Lady Carlotta είναι μια ισχυρόγνωμη, ανύπαντρη νέα γυναίκα, αλλά η σφοδρή ανεξαρτησία της αναδεικνύεται από την Mrs. Quabarl, μια τυπική σύζυγο - μέγαιρα του Saki. Η αυταρχική και συγκαταβατική στάση της κυρίας Κουάμπαρλ ενοχλεί τη λαίδη Καρλότα, η οποία επιδιώκει με κακία μια περίτεχνη φάρσα – με τα παιδιά ως δευτερεύοντα θύματα – προκειμένου να υπονομεύσει την μητέρα που εκφοβίζεται εύκολα από οποιονδήποτε φαίνεται πιο καλλιεργημένος ή υπεροπτικός από αυτήν.Ο Σάκι, ο οποίος συχνά χρησιμοποιεί άγρια θηρία ή εκδικητικά παιδιά για να υπονομεύσει με πονηριά τους πεζούς ενήλικες που επιθυμούν να καταπνίξουν τη δημιουργικότητα και να αγνοήσουν τη δύναμη της φαντασίας, όχι μόνο χρησιμοποιεί εδώ μια γυναίκα ως αντικομφορμιστική απατεώνισσα και θυματοποιεί τα παιδιά αλλά αποκαλύπτει και τις αντιφάσεις των απόψεών του για τις κοινωνικές τάξεις. Η Lady Carlotta αποτελεί πρόβλημα για την Mrs. Quabarl επειδή δεν γνωρίζει τη θέση της και έτσι προμηνύει την ταξική σύγχυση και αποσύνθεση που θα τυλίξει την Αγγλία μετά τον πόλεμο. Όσο ενοχλητική και αν είναι η «μέθοδος Schartz-Metterklume» (το όνομα μπορεί να είναι αναφορά στο μιλιταρισμό της Γερμανίας πριν τον Α' Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο), το επιχείρημα του Saki φαίνεται να είναι ότι η ιστορία είναι συχνά μια σειρά από χαοτικά, αιματηρά γεγονότα. Η χρήση υποτίθεται αθώων γυναικών και παιδιών για να απεικονίσει ένα τέτοιο μάθημα κάνει το επιχείρημα του Saki ακόμα πιο ενοχλητικά ισχυρό. Και στο «The Toys of Peace», ο Σάκι χλευάζει την προσπάθεια των ειρηνιστών εκπαιδευτικών να κάνουν τα παιδιά να παίζουν με ειρηνικά παιχνίδια, παρουσιάζοντάς τα να καταφεύγουν γρήγορα σε αιματηρές μάχες. Συχνά στις ιστορίες του Σάκι, τα παιδιά και τα ζώα κατακτούν τον κόσμο των ενηλίκων επειδή είναι πιο κοντά στην άγρια, φυσική τάξη των πραγμάτων από τον ήπιο, υποτίθεται πολιτισμένο κόσμο της Εδουαρδιανής Αγγλίας.Πολλοί κριτικοί έχουν επισημάνει την έξυπνη αναδιαμόρφωση των δικών του πλοκών σε άλλες ιστορίες από τον Σάκι. Αυτή η ιστορία μοιάζει με την εξαπάτηση ενός προστατευμένου αγροτικού ζευγαριού από τον Κλόβις στο «The Unrest-Cure», ενώ η χρήση παιδιών στην αναπαράσταση ενός κλασικού μύθου με σεξουαλικές υπονοίες θυμίζει την βακχική εκδρομή του Ρέτζιναλντ με μια ομάδα νεολαίας της εκκλησίας στο «Reginald’s Choir Treat». Με την ιδέα της αναπαράστασης της ιστορίας, το διήγημα θυμίζει τις υπερβολικά ρεαλιστικές παντομίμες στο «A Matter of Sentiment». Πράγματι, μια πρώιμη σκηνή που περιγράφει την άρνηση της Lady Carlotta να απαλλάξει ένα ενοχλητικό γείτονα από την προσοχή ενός αγριόχοιρου μπορεί να έσπειρε τους σπόρους της έμπνευσης για τις μεταγενέστερες ιστορίες του Saki «The Stalled Ox» και «The Boar-Pig».Το έργο υπάρχει ελευθέρα διαθέσιμο εδώ: https://americanliterature.com/author/hh-munro-saki/short-story/the-schartz-metterklume-method/Μετάφραση και ανάγνωση Γρηγόριος ΚαλογιάννηςΗ ηχογράφηση δεν έχει κ

Βιβλιοαναγνώσεις - ηχητικά βιβλία φαντασίας στα ελληνικά - audiobooksΣρέντνι Βαστάρ - Σάκι | Ηχητικό Βιβλίο Ελληνικά - AudiobookΤίτλος πρωτότυπου: Saki (Hector Hugh Munro) "Sredni Vashtar" (1911) Το «Sredni Vashtar» είναι ένα διήγημα του Saki, που γράφτηκε μεταξύ 1900 και 1911 και δημοσιεύθηκε για πρώτη φορά στη συλλογή διηγημάτων του 1911 με τίτλο The Chronicles of Clovis. Έχει προσαρμοστεί για όπερα, ταινία, ραδιόφωνο και τηλεόραση. Ο Κονράντιν, ένα ασθενικό 10χρονο αγόρι, ζει υπό την φροντίδα της περιφρονητικής, αυταρχικής και ελεγκτικής ξαδέλφης του, της κυρίας Ντε Ροπ. Βασίζεται στην πλούσια φαντασία του όχι μόνο για να παραμείνει αρκετά δυνατός ώστε να επιβιώσει, αλλά και για να ξεφύγει από τον πραγματικό κόσμο. Επαναστατώντας ενάντια στην καταπιεστική φροντίδα της κυρίας Ντε Ροπ, ο Κονράντιν κρατά κρυφά δύο ζώα σε ένα αχρησιμοποίητο υπόστεγο στον κήπο: μια χήνα, την οποία λατρεύει, και μία νυφίτσα, που φοβάται και κρατά κλειδωμένο σε ένα κλουβί. Σταδιακά, ο Κονράντιν αρχίζει να λατρεύει τη νυφίτσα ως θεό, ονομάζοντάς το «Σρέντνι Βαστάρ». Τη λατρεύει κάθε εβδομάδα, φέρνοντας του προσφορές από λουλούδια και μούρα, και κλεμμένο μοσχοκάρυδο για ειδικές περιστάσεις. Στις 15 Σεπτεμβρίου 1941, μια διασκευή του «Sredni Vashtar» ξεκίνησε το πρώτο επεισόδιο της σειράς του CBS Radio The Orson Welles Show. Η Blanche Yurka υποδύθηκε την κυρία De Ropp, με τον Conrad Binyon στον ρόλο του Conradin και την Brenda Forbes στον ρόλο της Matilda.Το «Sredni Vashtar» έχει διασκευαστεί τρεις φορές ως όπερα δωματίου. Το 1988, ο συνθέτης Robert Steadman και ο συγγραφέας Richard Adams έγραψαν το 75λεπτο Sredni Vashtar. Το 1996, ο Κουβανός συνθέτης Jorge Martin και ο λιμπρετίστας Andrew Joffe, σε συνεργασία με την American Chamber Orchestra, δημιούργησαν το Beast and Superbeast, μια σειρά τεσσάρων όπερων δωματίου βασισμένων σε ιστορίες του Saki, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του «Sredni Vashtar». Το 2010 η ιστορία διασκευάστηκε από τους Nicholas Pavkovic και Jim Coughenour και παρουσιάστηκε στο Ωδείο Μουσικής του Σαν Φρανσίσκο.Το «Sredni Vashtar» αποτέλεσε τη βάση για την ταινία τρόμου του 1979 The Orphan, γνωστή και ως Friday the 13th: The Orphan, του σκηνοθέτη John Ballard. Το 1980 προσαρμόστηκε για το Spine Chillers. Το 1981, η ταινία μικρού μήκους Sredni Vashtar του Βρετανού σκηνοθέτη Andrew Birkin κέρδισε ένα βραβείο BAFTA και ήταν υποψήφια για Όσκαρ:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-RI9WBpPGQΤο 2003 η Angela M.

Βιβλιοαναγνώσεις - ηχητικά βιβλία φαντασίας στα ελληνικά - audiobooksΗ Μουσική του Λόφου - Σάκι | Ηχητικό Βιβλίο Ελληνικά - AudiobookΤου Σάκι (Hector Hugh Munro)Τίτλος πρωτότυπου: "The Music on the Hill" (1911)Ο Hector Hugh Munro (18 Δεκεμβρίου 1870 – 14 Νοεμβρίου 1916), πιο γνωστός με το ψευδώνυμο Saki, ήταν ένας Βρετανός συγγραφέας του οποίου οι πνευματώδεις, σκανδαλώδεις και μερικές φορές μακάβριες ιστορίες σατιρίζουν την κοινωνία και τον πολιτισμό του Εδουάρδου. Θεωρείται από καθηγητές και μελετητές αγγλικών μάστορας του διηγήματος και συχνά συγκρίνεται με τον O. Henry και την Dorothy Parker. Επηρεασμένος από τους Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll και Rudyard Kipling, επηρέασε ο ίδιος τους A. A. Milne, Noël Coward και P. G. Wodehouse. Εκτός από τα διηγήματά του (τα οποία δημοσιεύτηκαν αρχικά σε εφημερίδες, όπως συνηθιζόταν εκείνη την εποχή, και στη συνέχεια συγκεντρώθηκαν σε πολλούς τόμους), έγραψε ένα μεγάλου μήκους θεατρικό, The Watched Pot, σε συνεργασία με τον Charles Maude. δύο μονόπρακτα, μια ιστορική μελέτη, η άνοδος της Ρωσικής Αυτοκρατορίας (το μόνο βιβλίο που εκδόθηκε με το όνομά του), ένα σύντομο μυθιστόρημα, The Unbearable Bassington, το επεισοδιακό The Westminster Alice (κοινοβουλευτική παρωδία της Αλίκης στη Χώρα των Θαυμάτων) και When William Came, με υπότιτλο A Story of London Under the Hohenzollerns, μια φαντασίωση για μια μελλοντική γερμανική εισβολή και κατοχή της Βρετανίας.Το Music On The Hill είναι μια μικρή γοτθική ιστορία πλεγμένη με μυθολογία. Η ιστορία ακολουθεί ένα παντρεμένο ζευγάρι που μετακομίζει σε μια εξοχική κατοικία και βρίσκεται ανάμεσα σε αρχαίους θρύλους. Την ιστορία αφηγείται η Σλίβια. Αυτή και ο σύζυγός της, Μόρτιμερ, μετακομίζουν και το νέο τους σπίτι είναι απομονωμένο και μακριά από την πόλη. Υπάρχει κάτι στο τοπίο που το κάνει να φαίνεται άγριο και αδάμαστο. Ο Μόρτιμερ της λέει για τον Παν, τον Θεό της φύσης και τις πεποιθήσεις του σχετικά με αυτό. Η Σλίβια δεν αποδέχεται πλήρως την πίστη που έχει ο σύζυγός της. Μια μέρα, συναντά το άγαλμα του Παν στη γη με μια προσφορά σταφυλιών στα πόδια του. Τα σταφύλια είναι δύσκολο να τα βρεις, γι' αυτό θυμώνει με τον άντρα της που άφησε μια τέτοια προσφορά και το μαζεύει για να το πάρει μαζί της. Το στοιχείο του τρόμου και του σασπένς αναδεικνύεται μετά από αυτό το σημείο. Η Slyvia φαίνεται να νιώθει πάντα άβολα στο Yessney. Ακόμα και τα ζώα της φάρμας και ο τρόπος που την κοιτάζουν είναι ένα αφιλόξενο συναίσθημα. Ο Μόρτιμερ έχει αφοσιωμένη πίστη στον Παν, τον Θεό της φύσης. Ο Μόρτιμερ τον αποκαλεί Πατέρα των Θεών. Μόλις εγκατασταθούν στο Yessney, ο Mortimer αρνείται να πάει ξανά στην πόλη. Μετά το περιστατικό της προσφοράς, η Σύλιβα προειδοποιείται από τον σύζυγό της να μείνει στο σπίτι και να μην περιπλανηθεί πολύ μακριά από το σπίτι. Αν και η Σλίβια βλέπει ένα αγόρι αφού μαζεύει τα σταφύλια, δεν είναι πρόθυμη να πιστέψει τις προειδοποιήσεις του συζύγου της. Το θέμα της εκδίκησης της φύσης και της παράβασης είναι πανταχού παρόν από την αρχή. Οι παραβάσεις της κατά του συζύγου της και μετά κατά του Παν. Αναγκάζει τον σύζυγό της να φύγει από την πόλη, ο σύζυγός της υπονοείται ότι έλκεται από άντρες και τον θέλει μακριά από όλα αυτά. Τότε, δεν της αρέσει η πίστη του στον Παν και πληρώνει ένα τίμημα για αυτό.Το έργο υπάρχει ελευθέρα διαθέσιμο εδώ: https://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/MusHil.shtmlΠηγή της εικόνας:https://tonywalker.substack.com/p/the-music-on-the-hill-by-sakiΜετάφραση Χριστιάννα ΣακελαροπούλουΑνάγνωση Γρηγόριος ΚαλογιάννηςΗ ηχογράφηση δεν έχει κερδοσκοπικό χαρακτήρα.

Θεωρείται από καθηγητές και μελετητές αγγλικών μάστορας του διηγήματος και συχνά συγκρίνεται με τον O. Henry και την Dorothy Parker.

Η ιστορία συμπεριλήφθηκε στην εφημερίδα The Westminster Gazette και εμφανίζεται στη συλλογή Reginald in Russia που εκδόθηκε από την Methuen & Co. το 1910. Ξεκινά με μια προειδοποίηση: "Υπάρχει ένα άγριο θηρίο στο δάσος σας..." Καθώς η ιστορία εξελίσσεται, μαθαίνουμε ότι ο Gabriel είναι πράγματι άγριος, στην πραγματικότητα ένας λυκάνθρωπος. Η ιστορία χρησιμοποιεί την ιδέα της λυκανθρωπίας ως μεταφορά για την εφηβεία. Το αποκορύφωμα της ιστορίας είναι όταν ο Γκάμπριελ αποκαλύπτεται ότι πήρε ένα μικρό παιδί από το κυριακάτικο σχολείο. Ακολουθεί καταδίωξη, αλλά ο Γκάμπριελ και το παιδί εξαφανίζονται κοντά σε ένα ποτάμι. Τα μόνα αντικείμενα που βρέθηκαν είναι τα ρούχα του Γκάμπριελ και οι δυο τους δεν φαίνονται ποτέ ξανά.Το πρωτότυπο έργο υπάρχει ελευθέρα διαθέσιμο εδώ: https://americanliterature.com/author/hh-munro-saki/short-story/gabriel-ernest/Πηγή της εικόνας:https://www.free-ebooks.net/adventures-audiobooks/Gabriel-Ernest#gs.ds9yrfΜετάφραση Χριστιάννα ΣακελαροπούλουΑνάγνωση Γρηγόριος ΚαλογιάννηςΗ ηχογράφηση δεν έχει κερδοσκοπικό χαρακτήρα.

His acidic shorts are predominantly black comedies of manners. Think P.G. Woodhouse but with less whimsy and more malevolence. His stories are rarely more than a few pages long, yet they include biting commentary on the foibles of the Edwardian upper and middle classes. As yo...

MedianocheEl Alma De LaploshkaHector Hugh Munro, conocido por el pseudónimo literario de Saki, fue un escritor, novelista y dramaturgo británico. Sus agudos y, en ocasiones, macabros cuentos recrearon irónicamente la sociedad y la cultura victorianas en que vivió. Es considerado un maestro del relato corto y sus personajes están finamente dibujados siendo sus (elegantes) tramas muy recordadas.
Historias de RNE adapta radiofónicamente el relato El Alma de Laploshka en la voz de Javier Lostalé.
