A new anthology of literary love stories--the third collection in the appealing
Pocket Classics format--perfect for Valentine's Day.
Here are nineteen stories from a rich array of writers, and here is every kind
of romantic entanglement: from the raw, erotic passion of D. H. Lawrence and
Colette to the wickedly cynical comedy of Dorothy Parker and Roald Dahl, from
the yearnings of unrequited romantic illusions in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter
Dreams" to the agonizing madness of jealousy in Vladimir Nabokov's "That in
Aleppo Once . . ." The objects of passion in these stories range from a
glamorous silent-movie starlet in Elizabeth Bowen's haunting "Dead Mabelle"
