First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. An unmarked fine copy of the 1925 edition of still some of the finest short stories. Bercovici the editor, begins his introduction: "I believe the short story to be the highest form of literary art. The best of Balzac, Anatole France, Maupassant, Tolstoi, Turgeneff, Chekhov, Conrad, Sherwood Anderson, Poe and others is to be found in their short stories. No other literary form exacts so much intense concentration on subject and form. No other form permits so little padding. The inner life of a short story, the style, the value of the theme and the construction of its characters must be on one piece with the directness and the straightness of the line running through it.".
