Synopsis
A single choice can redeem a life—or condemn it.
What makes a good person choose badly? What makes a guilty one turn back? And how much moral weight can a single moment bear?
The Weight of a Moment: Stories of Choice, Sin, and Redemption brings together classic and original short fiction in which choices have consequences. The stories are arranged in thematic pairs, contrasting ideas of conscience, temptation, mercy, greed, vengeance, repentance, and self-mastery. These pairings provide no simple answers. Rather, they invite readers to compare choices and consequences, and to explore the narrow distance between redemption and ruin.
Edited by Joe Castoro, the anthology also includes an original story and a new English translation of “The Dead Girl and the Grave-Robber” by Simone Di Benedetto, PhD, as well as a foreword by Fernando Caravaggio, PhD, exploring morality, moral ambiguity, and the choices that give stories their weight.
For readers who believe that great fiction can entertain without surrendering the questions of good and evil, The Weight of a Moment asks a deceptively simple question:
When the moment comes, what will you choose?

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Weight of a Moment: Stories of Choice, Sin, and RedemptionA single choice can redeem a life-or condemn it.There comes a moment when character is no longer an abstraction.A thief finds himself capable of mercy. A desperate man discovers the price of selfishness. A criminal is offered the possibility of another life. Others stand before temptation, vengeance, sacrifice, greed, and death-and choose.The Weight of a Moment: Stories of Choice, Sin, and Redemption brings together tales by O. Henry, Anton Chekhov, Jack London, Dashiell Hammett, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and other masters of the short story to explore the choices by which men and women reveal who they are.Some turn back. Some refuse. Some discover that redemption may depend upon a single act of courage, while others learn that one selfish decision can set an entire life upon the road to ruin.The anthology is arranged in pairs of moral counterpoints. Each pairing places two characters under a comparable moral pressure-responsibility and ignorance, brotherhood and greed, love and temptation, power and self-mastery, repentance and damnation, mercy and vengeance, or our obligations to others. The stories are not simple mirror images. Instead, reading them side by side allows the choices made in one story to throw those made in the other into sharper relief.Spanning crime, tragedy, folklore, and the supernatural, these stories share a conviction both ancient and unsettling: The smallest moment may carry the greatest moral weight.Contents"The Signal" - Vsevolod M.
