Review: A Very Good Collection - This was a very good collection. Some friends and I used it for a short story club. It offers a wide variety of stories, including several authors I had never heard of before. Almost every story was worth reading and discussing, and I think it’s a good, affordable volume. One thing I found curious is that the volume does not provide a list of all translations used. Also, one should note that there are basically no notes or editorial material here. I personally didn’t mind that, but I could see someone needing more of an apparatus with the book. All the same, this worked for my purposes, and I thought each translation was a good one, even if I would like to know who the translations were by.
Review: Many worthwhile selections, try it. - Hey, this is a collection of short stories, not War and Peace. If you appreciate this literary form you've more than likely read many of these; Hemingway, Joyce, Kafka, Chekhov. Still, I found enough new reading to make this collection well worth the small cost. Sit back and enjoy !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Very Good Collection
*by J***F on September 14, 2023*

This was a very good collection. Some friends and I used it for a short story club. It offers a wide variety of stories, including several authors I had never heard of before. Almost every story was worth reading and discussing, and I think it’s a good, affordable volume. One thing I found curious is that the volume does not provide a list of all translations used. Also, one should note that there are basically no notes or editorial material here. I personally didn’t mind that, but I could see someone needing more of an apparatus with the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice collection of short stories as interstitial reads -- just what I wanted
*by A***N on July 7, 2020*

I bought this short story collection to break up of the monotony of much longer books, as an interstitial interruption, more or less, and as short style-prep lead-in reads for same-author longer books. In other words, "Bartleby" prepped for "Moby Dick," "The Hunger Artist" for "Amerika," and so on. Inside, there's a good collection -- sample-wise -- of some great authors, and a number of them are arguably their best short story works, like Melville; it is just what I wanted for a nice price. "Bartleby", "The Lady..." and "Araby" are worth the price alone.
