Some collections you read cover to cover. Others you keep close, dipping in whenever the mood strikes. This one is the second kind.
Forty-nine short stories, gathered here for their richness of detail, their honest depictions of human passion, and their truly international scope. It’s the kind of anthology you’ll return to again and again.
The names alone are worth the shelf space. Americans like Hemingway, Faulkner, Saul Bellow, and Flannery O’Connor. Western European giants of the 19th and 20th centuries: Proust, Sartre, Flaubert, Kafka, Mann, Pirandello, Rilke, and Balzac. The great Russian icons: Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Turgenev, and Chekhov. And beyond, with Asian masters Rabindranath Tagore and Lu Hsun.
Here’s what makes this one special. While plenty of these names will feel like old friends, editor Charles Neider had a wonderful instinct for the lesser-known gem. He includes quieter voices too, like Bunin, Lagerlof, Nexo, and Svevo, and often favors the unexpected story over the familiar one. Every page holds a small discovery.
It’s a whole world of literature nestled between two covers. Perfect for the curious reader who loves to linger, to browse a table of contents like a menu, and to be surprised.
Pour yourself something warm, settle in by the window, and let the sea air do the rest. We think you’ll find a new favorite in here. Maybe several.
