'Stories by English Authors: London' Summary
The collection opens with J.M. Barrie's humorous tale of a young woman who inherits a fortune and sets out to find a husband. Israel Zangwill's equally humorous story satirizes the social conventions of his time. Marie Corelli, known for her popular and emotional novels, contributes a moving story of love and loss. These diverse stories are united by their genuine emotional truth and the authors' ability to convey their messages with clarity and conviction. Despite the suffering and challenges they depict, these stories ultimately offer a glimpse of the human spirit's resilience and capacity for love and compassion.Book Details
