Mahabharata

Mahabharata (Sansekerta: महाभारत) adalah sebuah karya sastra kuno yang konon ditulis oleh Begawan Byasa atau Vyasa dari India. Buku ini terdiri dari delapan belas kitab, maka dinamakan Astadasaparwa (asta = 8, dasa = 10, parwa = kitab). Namun, ada pula yang meyakini bahwa kisah ini sesungguhnya merupakan kumpulan dari banyak cerita yang semula terpencar-pencar, yang dikumpulkan semenjak abad ke-4 sebelum Masehi.

Secara singkat, Mahabharata menceritakan kisah konflik para Pandawa lima dengan saudara sepupu mereka sang seratus Korawa, mengenai sengketa hak pemerintahan tanah negara Astina. Puncaknya adalah Perang Bharatayudda di medan Kurusetra dan pertempuran berlangsung selama delapan belas hari.

Short story

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The short story is a literary genre. It is usually fictional narrative prose and tends to be more concise and to the point than longer works of fiction, such as novellas (in the modern sense of this term) and novels.

Short stories have their origins in oral story-telling traditions and the prose anecdote, a swiftly-sketched situation that comes rapidly to its point. With the rise of the comparatively realistic novel, the short story evolved as a miniature, with some of its first perfectly independent examples in the tales of E.T.A. Hoffmann and Anton Chekhov.

Many authors today release compilations of their short stories in short story collections.

ANTON CHEKHOV AKA "ANTOSHA CHEKHONTE" 1860-1904 PROFESSION Physician, Fiction Writer, Playwright FAVORITE BOOK The Kreutzer Sonata by Leo Tolstoi As long as there is a Tolstoy in literature, it is simple and gratifying to be a literary figure. FAVORITE PLACE France! France! France! HOBBIES Champagne and showgirls FAVORITE FOOD Ah, Caviar! I keep on eating it, but can never get my fill. Like olives. It's a lucky thing it's not salty. LATEST PROJECT I am writing a play which I probably will not finish until the end of November. I am writing it with considerable pleasure, though I sin frightfully against the conventions of the stage. It is a comedy with three female parts, six male, four acts, a landscape (view of the lake), lots of talk on literature, little action and tons of love.
