Doris Lessing Stories Av Doris Lessing Trust

<p>Included are seminal stories like ''To Room Nineteen''; in which a woman reacts against the oppression of her banal marriage with dreadful results; ''One off the Short List'', which traces the surprising conclusion to a seduction gone awry, and ''The Habit of Loving'' in which a lonely older man who takes a vivacious young wife witnesses an unexpected reversal of intimacy. <br>Here also are two classic novellas, <i>The Temptation of Jack Orkney</i> and <i>The Other Woman</i>, exemplifying Lessing''s impressive understanding of human psychology. Rich and various in mood and background - the settings range across England and France - these stories powerfully convey the uncompromising insight, intelligence and vision of one of the most ardently admired writers of our time.</p>
