Description
This collection ranges over nearly five thousand years and includes stories from countries all round the world. All the great classical authors-Dickens, Scott, Hardy, Balzac, Zola, de Maupassant, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Dostoievsky, Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe to name but a few-are here for your delight. Other writers, equally worthy of fame, but little known outside their own countries, have specially been translated for this volume. Altogether 178 different tales have been gathered together, each among the best of its kind. Tragic, comic or macabre they will give you many hours of pleasure, for they are stories to which you will return to read again and again.
