Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.

There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.From their pens to your your ears.
In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit. Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.1 - Paris Short Stories Not by Guy de Maupassant - An Introduction2 - The Murders in the Rue Morgue - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe3 - The Murders in the Rue Morgue - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe4 - The Burial of the Rats by Bram Stoker5 - The Daughter of Lilith by Anatole France6 - The Namesake by Willa Cather7 - The Leather Funnel by Arthur Conan Doyle8 - A Terribly Strange Bed by Wilkie Collins9 - The Purloined Letter by Edgar Allan Poe10 - His Secret Sin by Aleister Crowley11 - The Mysterious Card by Cleveland Moffet12 - The Sixth Bench by Robert Barr13 - The Supreme Illusion by Arnold Bennett14 - The Mystery of Marie Rogêt - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe15 - The Mystery of Marie Rogêt - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe

Cómo vivir con veinticuatro horas al día es un libro escrito por Arnold Bennett en 1908. Fue un novelista británico. Fue un escritor prolífico: entre el comienzo de su carrera en 1898 y su muerte completó 34 novelas, siete volúmenes de historias breves, 13 obras de teatro (algunas en colaboración con otros autores) y un diario que totaliza más de un millón de palabras.
'A usted, mi querido señor, le presento mis excusas y mis disculpas. Usted es precisamente el hombre que deseaba conocer desde hace unos cuarenta años. ¿Tendrá usted la bondad de enviarme su nombre y dirección, y de indicarme su cargo para decirme cómo lo hace? En lugar de que yo hable con usted, usted debería hablar conmigo. Por favor, preséntese. Que usted existe, estoy convencido, y que aún no lo he encontrado es mi pérdida. Mientras tanto, hasta que usted aparezca, seguiré charlando con mis compañeros de infortunio: ese innumerable grupo de almas que son perseguidas, más o menos dolorosamente, por la sensación de que los años pasan, y pasan, y pasan, y que todavía no han podido poner sus vidas en orden'.

Are you really 'living', or just existing? Do you want to improve yourself or just continue to muddle through? Do you use the time given you each day, or just throw most of it away? These questions Bennett asks each of us and for those who want to really live and learn, offers very valuable advice. Time is the most precious of commodities, states Bennett in this book. Many books have been written on how to live on a certain amount of money each day. And he added that the old adage 'time is money' understates the matter, as time can often produce money, but money cannot produce more time. Time is extremely limited, and Bennett urged others to make the best of the time remaining in their lives. Which of us lives on twenty-four hours a day? And when I say 'lives,' I do not mean exists, nor 'muddles through.' Which of us is free from that uneasy feeling that the 'great spending departments' of his daily life are not managed as they ought to be? [...] Which of us is not saying to himself -- which of us has not been saying to himself all his life: 'I shall alter that when I have a little more time'? We never shall have any more time. We have, and we have always had, all the time there is.
