‘One of the masters of the short story’ Guardian
‘I have to tell you – you see, this is just about the strangest experience I have been through...’
These six stories of obsession, secrets, delusions and desires from one of the greatest European writers show individuals caught up in forces beyond their control – whether an art dealer agreeing to a heartbreaking deception, a soldier destroyed by war, a servant infatuated with her employer or a young boy witnessing illicit adult passions. Portraying innocence lost and lives crushed by history, each tale is a psychologically acute, startling human drama.

Reviews
They have an astringency of outlook and a mastery of scale that I find enormously enjoyable.
