Résumé

From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, a collection of some of her finest short stories. For more than four decades, Doris Lessing''s work has observed the passion and confusion of human relations, holding a mirror up to our selves in her unflinching dissection of the everyday. From the magnificent ''To Room Nineteen'', a study of a dry, controlled middle-class marriage ''grounded in intelligence'', to the shocking ''A Woman on the Roof'', where a workman becomes obsessed with a pretty sunbather, this superb collection of stories written over four decades, from the 1950s to the 1990s, bears stunning witness to Doris Lessing''s perspective on the human condition.
