World’s Most Popular Short Stories is a collection of
tales that are soothing, yet scintillating, motivational
and magical, and a gentle mix of the common and
the special.
Handpicked stories by four master craftsmen – Guy
de Maupassant, Anton Chekhov, O Henry and Saki
– will not only give you a taste of their contemporary
societies and cultures, but also take you on an
adventure of a lifetime. Their extraordinary stories
are a mixture of tragedy and humorous satire,
irony and the macabre, in which the stupidities and
hypocrisy of conventional society are viciously pilloried.
You will meet the common folks who love to spend evenings in the company
of girls, and you will also meet couples from humble origins working hard to
repay a debt which was wrongly assumed in the first place. You can run into
love seeking you in some stories, and destiny waiting to change the course
of lives in others. The heady mix of humour, satire and drama makes these
stories an essential cocktail of emotions.
