Viac o knihe

<p>Widely known for her much-admired novels, including <i>The Heat of the Day</i>, <i>The House in Paris</i>, and <i>The Death of the Heart</i>, Elizabeth Bowen established herself in the front rank of the century's writers equally through her short fiction.</p><p>This collection brings together seventy-nine magnificent stories written over the course of four decades. Vividly featuring scenes of bomb-scarred London during the Blitz, frustrated lovers, acutely obcerved children, and even vengeful ghosts, these stories reinforce Bowen's reputation as an artist whose finely chiseled narratives—rich in imagination, psychological insight, and craft—transcend their time and place.</p>
