Sobre este artículo
Vintage, 1980. 1ST. SOFTCOVER. VERY GOOD. 1ST. 5.1 x 1.3 x 8 inches. pp. 640. Publisher: Vintage; 1st Vintage Books Edition April 1980 (March 12, 1980) Language: English SOFTCOVER: 640 pages ISBN-10: 0394742494 ISBN-13: 978-0394742496 Item Weight: 1.15 pounds Dimensions: 5.1 x 1.3 x 8 inches. This major collection contains all of Doris Lessing's short fiction, other than the stories set in Africa, from the beginning of her career until now. Set in London, Paris, the south of France, the English countryside, these thirty-five stories reflect the themes that have always characterized Lessing's work: the bedrock realities of marriage and other relationships between men and women; the crisis of the individual whose very psyche is threatened by a society unattuned to its own most dangerous qualities; the fate of women.
Sinopsis
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)This wide-ranging collection of the stories by the renowned Nobel Laureate--spanning more than two decades of her astonishing career--highlights her singular gifts for portraying the complex lives of men and women in a modern, often alienating world.Included are seminal stories like "To Room Nineteen," in which a woman reacts against the oppression of her banal marriage with dreadful results; "One off the Short List," which traces the surprising conclusion to a seduction gone awry; "The Habit of Loving," in which a lonely older man who takes a vivacious, young wife witnesses an unexpected reversal of intimacy. Here are two classic novellas as well: The Temptation of Jack Orkney and The Other Woman, which exemplify Lessing's grasp of the most essential human psychology. Rich and various in mood and background--the settings range across England and France--these stories powerfully convey the uncompromising insight, intelligence, and vision of one of the most ardently admired writers of our time.From the Hardcover edition.
