Opening statement - Why short fiction

Hello dear future readers and commenters. This is what will become a sort of Mecca of fictional short stories, or at least I hope this will be the case, anyhow here I will post my favorite short stories (and believe me, that's a lot). To be free of any copyright issues, I will post most of the time short stories from the 19th and early 20th century, but not limited to, and even more, so that nobody thinks this will be a sort of spam site, I will add next to each short story that I post on the blog a short comment related to it of my own. I am very passionate about short fiction, I've been reading it since I was little, I've read much more short story volumes that I have novels, so if this is the case, I must say that short stories > novel, at least they do for me.

Why Short Fiction? because:
A short story contains infinite amount of information, and it's not rare that novel are made by exploiting and expanding a certain short story.
A short story is like a myth, and very related to it, it's very complex, and by no means but it be considered just a sketch, as do some consider even myths, which in fact are the most complex colective constructions of mankind.

(this idea will be updated gradually)
