Reseña del editor
"Noon Wine," "Old Mortality," and "Pale Horse, Pale Rider" make up a collection of classic novellas by the late Pulitzer Prize-winner that features the story of a single woman whose pursuit of independence veers into the reckless.
Nota de la solapa
"Most good stories are about the interior of our lives, but Katherine Anne Porter's stories take place there," said Eudora Welty. "They show surface only at her choosing."
Pale Horse, Pale Rider comprises three of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author's short novels or long stories, as Porter--who didn't hold with the term "novella"--called her pieces. In the masterly "Noon Wine," set on a Texas farm circa 1900, she offers an unforgettable study of evil. According to Reynolds Price the tale "can stand shoulder to shoulder with anything in Tolstoy or Chekhov." Both "Old Mortality" and the title story center on Porter's fictional counterpart, Miranda: a resilient Southern heroine who, as Mary Gordon observed, is in "the precarious position of a woman who must earn her way with no one behind her to break her fall."

It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editons of impor-tant works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library\'s seventy-fifth anniversary, Random Houseredesigned the series, restoringas its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhardin 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world\'s best books, at the best prices.--With an Introduction by Elizabeth Hardwick. Nº de ref. del artículo: AMPLE0679603034
