Descripción del artículo del vendedor
This volume contains sixteen examples of the English short story at its best: immediately captivating and hugely entertaining. Some stories are classics, such as James Joyces `The Dead; others like `Mr Lovedays Little Outing by Evelyn Waugh are relatively unknown and a joy to discover. The collection also includes Charles Dickens premonitory tale, `The Signalman which was inspired by his own horrific experiences in a train crash. Katherine Mansfields `The Voyage, meanwhile, is a sensual narrative centring on a boat journey and set in her native New Zealand. Virginia Woolfs `Kew Gardens is different again, dramatically evoking its setting, awash with colour and light. Tragic or comic, traditional or modernist, each and every piece demonstrates perfectly how the short story form can be as engaging and satisfying as a novel, if not more so. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
