About this product
Product Information
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.

Reviews
"Doris Lessing's artistry is demonstrated over and over in this generous collection." Time "Lessing is the great realist writer of our time." Diane Johnson,The New York Times Book Review "[Lessing's] stock of reliable, solid information about life is enormous; her social range…impressively wide; her interests, human, varied, oddly reassuring." Margaret Drabble,Saturday Review From the Trade Paperback edition.

Never received the item the first time it was supposedly sent. Almost 100% sure it was forgotten to be put in the parcel for the combined shipping with another item, although I was told to wait and it was a separate shipping. Contacted them again. Was told they would send a replacement and to wait 5-15 days. Never received notification of shipping and never received the second copy either. Leaving negative review before the time for feedback expires. Waiting word on refund. Buyer beware!
