Great value short story collection Dover books are unsurpassed for economy and content – $3.50 for a collection of 20 stories from all over the world within the past two centuries. Would be a great teaching resource, as many of these stories are used in curricula for middle/high school and college. Table of contents lists author, country of origin and year written. Relatively diverse selection of authors, but also includes standard anthology fare like Hemingway and Woolf. Stories included:Bartleby the Scrivener (1853, Melville)The Necklace (1884, de Maupassant)The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886, Tolstoy)The Man Who Would Be King (1888, Kipling)The Yellow Wallpaper (1892, C.P. Gilman)The Fortune-Teller (1896, Machado de Assis)The Lady with the Toy Dog (1899, Chekhov)How Old Timofei Died with a Song (1900, Rilke)The Path to the Cemetery (1901, Mann)The Prussian Officer (1914, D.H. Lawrence)Araby (1914, Joyce)Mrs. Frola and Mr. Ponza, Her Son-in-Law (1917, Pirandello)The Mark on the Wall (1921, Woolf)A Hunger Artist (1922, Kafka)The Garden-Party (1922, Mansfield)The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket (1924, Kawabata)A Clean, Well-Lighted Place (1926, Hemingway)The Sacrifical Egg (1959, Achebe)A & P (1961, Updike)Borges and I (1962, Borges)
Great collection for those quick moments on a train, bus, or plane. It is always worthwhile to keep a few paperback short story collections at hand to pop into a purse or carry-on bag. This collection is very good: diverse, well chosen, and memorable. These Dover Thrift Books are a great bargain as well.
