About Sad Love - Short Stories: Tales of pain and heartbreak

Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. When love’s flaws begin to stretch and amplify then heartbreak must surely follow. Love requires not just yearning and devotion but commitment and protection of an ideal. When that crumbles love finds pain, being in love becomes more difficult. And what our literary greats share with us in this difficult volume brings that truth home. 1 - Sad Love - Short Stories - An Introduction 2 - The Lagoon by Joseph Conrad 3 - The Rendezvous by Ivan Turgenev 4 - Eveline by James Joyce 5 - Mr and Mrs Dove by Katherine Mansfield 6 - Two Little Soldiers by Guy de Maupassant 7 - On the Gull's Road by Willa Cather 8 - Pyramus & Thisbe by Ovid 9 - About Love by Anton Chekhov 10 - Desiree's Baby by Kate Chopin 11 - The Canary by Katherine Mansfield 12 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence 13 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev 14 - The Furnished Room by O Henry 15 - A Dill Pickle by Katherine Mansfield 16 - The Shaker Bridal by Nathaniel Hawthorne 17 - Her Lover by Maxim Gorky 18 - Mrs Pierrepoint by Amy Levy 19 - The Nightingale and the Rose by Oscar Wilde 20 - The Victory by Rabindranath Tagore 21 - Since I Died by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps 22 - The Jew by Ivan Turgenev 23 - The Informer by Joseph Conrad 24 - Life of Ma Parker by Katherine Mansfield 25 - The Dead - Part 1 by James Joyce 26 - The Dead - Part 2 by James Joyce
