Aryan Prasad (akp2002) | 4264 comments There are two "versions" of short story by the name "To Build a Fire"- 1902 and 1906. The basic story is same but the later story is a adapted version which is bit more longer, mature and darker. They should be separated. Some editions contains both the versions (like To Build a Fire) while most contain a single version.

Some editions (like Ateş Yakmak, Ateş Yakmak, Preparare un fuoco and To Build a Fire) are very long for a short story (100-200 Pages) and may be a collection of short stories (I am not sure as I don't have access to any of these edition).

Kindly look into this. Thanks.

Goodreads policy is for revised editions to be combined with the originals in most cases (unless the changes are along the lines of a short story being adapted to become a full-length novel).
