Shades of emotions

"The four unabridged stories of this collection appeal to the emotions that stir the soul from childhood to old age. Little Paul's determination to please this frustrated mother, young and destitute Jim and Della's sacrifices for love, La Folle's emancipation from a life of constrained fear and the old boss's despair at the death of his only son leave the reader with vivid and memorable portraits and insights into universal themes. The power and impact of the English language and the literary genius of authors such as D. H. Lawrence, Kate Chopin, O. Henry and Katherine Mansfield, enhance the poignancy of the Stories."--Page 4 de la couverture.
