Abstract:

The aim of this article is to illustrate the importance of the concept “mystery” in the classification of Sepedi detective stories. Mystery is therefore first defined, and then some rules governing how mystery is created and sustained in a narrative are reviewed. Examples are given of how the writers of Sepedi detective stories mislead their readers in order to create mystery. Mystery is then examined according to five of its constituent elements, namely the real character of the detective, the name of the criminal, the identity of the victim, the evidence that reveals the mystery in the end,

Abstract:

The element of mystery can be a naturally intriguing component of a mathematics lesson for middle school students. Mystery stories capture students“ interest and attention and contribute to developing critical-reading skills (Crouse and Bassett 1975; Curcio 1982; Scalzitti 1982). When presenting mystery stories within the context of a mathematics lesson, students often ask, “What does this have to do with mathematics?” Significant connections can be made between solving a mystery and solving a mathematics problem that supply a rationale for incorporating mystery stories in the mathematics clas

He has a knack for turning both the unconscious with its hidden memories and also the guilt and regret from it into magical signs. Murakami's magicality weaves both mystery and comedy.

Abstract:

Detective fiction is a genre characterized by mystery, reasoning, and intrigue that has captivated readers for centuries. However, the mystery here does not rely on theology but is rooted in logic. Malmgren (1997), in Bloody Murder, defines detective fiction as a hybrid genre encompassing elements of detective crime, psychological analysis, suspense, and police procedural stories. It ensures that the detective's resolution of the crime presented to them does not depend on “divine revelations, feminine intuition, nonsensical ramblings, trickery, coincidence, or acts of God.”

Dario Fo’s one-actor performance “Mystery-buff” is justly considered one of the playwright's main works, his hallmark.

The playwright sees such reasons in the folk origin of these stories, in their poignancy and topicality. Seemingly light and simple, they are nevertheless filled with a rebellious, freedomloving spirit, that obviously goes against the official doctrine of power. As a true giullare, Dario Fo tells these stories from the stage

Abstract:

<em>And Then There Were None </em>and <em>A Murder is Announced </em>are two prominent works written by the “Queen of Crime” Agatha Christie. While both novels belong to the genre of the murder mystery and detective fiction, the writer employs different literary techniques to build suspense and keep the readers’ engagement until the final scene. Moreover, Agatha Christie also pays great attention to the details of the crime. Providing the audience with certain clues, the writer succeeds to manipulate the reader’s thoughts. Thereby, <em>And Then There Were None </em

Abstract:

The present paper aims to analyze critically, some widely read short stories by Manoj Das and Ruskin Bond in the light of Aesthetics. These writers have immense admiration for Indian culture, atmosphere as well as the emotion and reactions of people of those rustic places. India is widely recognized for its Aestheticism and that is reflected in writings of both these authors. Many writers from various countries have discussed this thematic aspect, but Das and Bond’s approaches are distinct. Here I have taken into account Das’s two stories: Mystery of the Missing Cap and Catching a

Abstract:

This article introduces a rediscovered 1938 serial by Elizabeth Bowen ‘specially written’ for Home and Country, the monthly organ of the National Federation of Women's Institutes. It situates ‘Mystery at the Lilacs’ within the periodical culture of ‘ Home and Country’, paying particular attention to Bowen's engagement with the social and cultural debates that played out across its pages, and considers how Bowen's serial compares with her other contemporary literary projects. Far from being an aberration or curiosity, this serial overlaps thematically with Bowen's other interwar short stories.

Asimov provides his reader with abundant clues to the solution of the mystery in “Catch That Rabbit,” which, like many of the stories in I, Robot, is built upon a problem-solving or detective-story plot. Recognition of strategically placed references to the key numbers five and six, and to imagery of fingers and hands, enables the reader to appreciate the author’s skill in creating a story with form, unity, and verbal texture.

Abstract:

The article studies metamorphoses of time and space in the prose by Bruno Schultz and Goran Petrović. The novel entitled Sundries Shop “At The Lucky Hands” (Sitničarnica “Kod srećne ruke”) was chosen due to the typological similarity of its title to the first book of short stories by the Polish classic (Cinnamon Shops (Sklepy cynamonowe)). Shops mysteriously appear and mysteriously disappear, and these are the places where one of the key mysteries of the works’ poetics is hidden. Another Schultz’s place of mystery is the book as a parallel world, as well as oneiric spaces that are difficult to

Abstract:

This essay considers two narrative texts by the nature essayist and fiction writer Wang Chia-hsiang (Wang Jiaxiang); namely, the short story ‘On Lamatasinsin and Dahu Ali’ (1995), and the short novel Mystery of the Little People (1996). Structured around ethnographic journeys into the Taiwanese mountainous hinterland, the texts concern the main protagonists, two earnest (Han) Taiwanese ethnographers, who narrate stories that traverse the island’s histories, lands, and written remnants. The paper argues that the two stories purposefully overlap multiple historical, colonial, and environmental e

AbstractThis article reports an investigation involving a series of studies carried out to critically examine the hypothesis that presence of 2 or 3 minimally counterintuitive concepts in a story makes it more memorable than stories containing fewer or more of such concepts. The results paint a more complicated picture involving a number of interacting factors with contribution of the counterintuitive concepts to the global story cohesion emerging as a key mediating factor. It was found that addition of counterintuitive concepts only makes stories more memorable if those concepts contribute to
