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.

Sobre David H. Gerber Books
David H. Gerber - Books is an Internet and referral only business that has been involved in bookselling and booksearching since 1989. We feature a very general stock of out-of-print books ranging from juvenile to erotica, from mysteries to expositions, and from the mundane to the sublime, but with an ever increasing emphasis on non-fiction, particularly in the areas of history, Texas, politics, scholarly, and the unusual and esoteric.
