Certain tales stick in our memories and remain timeless as the years march onand they shine like never before in this compilation from Readers Digest. Our editors have carefully selected narratives readers have adored throughout the past century; humorous slices of life in decades past, captivating tales of survival against the odds, sweet stories about cherished animal companions and side-splitting commentaries on everyday annoyances. Each remains as resonant and meaningful today as it was when it first appeared in the pages of Readers Digest magazine, such as: A mans chance meeting with Einstein at a chamber music performance, and anothers encounter with Hemingway A harrowing account of a courageous skydiving instructors determination to save an unconscious diver A womans first-person tale of remaining awake as she received a brain operation
