Great Short Stories
Your price US$54.95
These 43 short stories were originally published by The Folio Society as part of a six-volume set. Bound in cloth.
Critics and writers often claim that the short story is harder to master than the novel. From Kate Chopin to Anton Chekhov, it is a format which has elicited the very best from some of the world's greatest writers and which continues to grow in popularity. This collection of 43 short stories from six different countries includes such celebrated examples as Samuel Beckett's surreal 'Dante and the Lobster', Alexander Pushkin's ghostly 'The Queen of Spades' and Colette's witty and sensual 'Green Sealing-Wax'. Alongside these literary giants are newer triumphs from contemporary writers such as Banana Yoshimoto. With an exceptional range of period, style and geography, if you were only to own one short-story collection, this should be it.
