Wilfrid Sheed

4.9/5 (26556 ratings)

Description:The short novel according to Wilfrid Sheed "is a form which the greatest masters find essential for certain effects." The masters are here in abundance, from Dos- toevsky to Faulkner, Chekhov to Fowles, Mark Twain to Philip Roth. In his perceptive critical in- troduction, Mr. Sheed explains why these stories had to be exactly this length and no longer, and what part they played in their au- thors' careers. Presenting a splen- did group of writers at their best, this volume perfectly illustrates Mr. Sheed's bravura defense of a literary form that offers "such drama as can be taken at one sit- ting—a scale that literature can hardly afford to forfeit."Andrea - John O'HaraThe Old Maid - Edith WhartonTortilla Flat - John SteinbeckMario and the Magician - Thomas MannPudd'nhead Wilson - Mark TwainWard No. 6 - Anton ChekhovNotes From Underground - Fyodor DostoevskyThe Fall - Albert CamusOld Man - William FaulknerYouth - Joseph ConradThe Lesson of the Master - Henry JamesMy Mortal Enemy - Willa CatherThe Ghost Writer - Philip RothThe Ebony Tower - John FowlesCatholics - Brian MooreThe Blacking Factory - Wilfrid SheedWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
