Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Five stories of various dates, all melancholy.The epilogue "Enough" expresses saddest of the judgments on life, its brevity and worthlessness, while art is said to be only a momentary image of beauty."An Unhappy Girl," the longest story, deals with the miserable history of a Russian gentleman?s illegitimate daughter. From the ignoble humanity surrounding her she endures persecution and ignomy; but it is reserved for a young man whose nature is "to awfully symmetrical" to bring this proud and chaste girl to despair and suicide."The Jew" is a psychological study of a man about to be hanged.
