[EAN: 9780307270870], Neubuch, [PU: Everyman's Library, New York], Hardcover. A new anthology of literary love stories—the third collection in the appealing Pocket Classics format—perfect for Valentine's Day. Here are nineteen stories from a rich array of writers, and here is every kind of romantic entanglement: from the raw, erotic passion of D. H. Lawrence and Colette to the wickedly cynical comedy of Dorothy Parker and Roald Dahl, from the yearnings of unrequited romantic illusions in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" to the agonizing madness of jealousy in Vladimir Nabokov's "That in Aleppo Once . . ." The objects of passion in these stories range from a glamorous silent-movie starlet in Elizabeth Bowen's haunting "Dead Mabelle" to an emotionally opaque heart surgeon in Margaret Atwood's "Bluebeard's Egg." Jhumpa Lahiri plumbs the depths of despair between a husband and wife separated by tragedy, while Lorrie Moore movingly portrays a husband and wife for whom tragedy becomes a bond. Katherine Mansfield, Tobias Wolff, and William Trevor explore the intricacies of long-term relationships, while Guy de Maupassant, Italo Calvino, and T. C. Boyle portray the initial, elemental force of love. A collection as alluring, moving, and intoxicating as its timeless theme. A new anthology of literary love stories features 19 tales from a rich array of writers. Every kind of romantic entanglement is represented, from the raw, erotic passion of D.H. Lawrence and Colette to the wickedly cynical comedy of Dorothy Parker and Roald Dahl. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability., Books<
