1000 najljepših novela #82-84

This volume of the popular edition contains seven exceptionally high-quality short stories that represent a rich range of European storytelling art. From the powerful and dramatic story of revenge and justice by Heinrich von Kleist, through the warm and emotional stories of Maria Ebner-Eschenbach and Concha Espina, to the refined irony of Ugo Ojettii and the tense atmosphere of E. Phillips Oppenheim, this collection offers a diverse and high-quality reading.

Each short story brings its own unique world: from deep moral dilemmas and human suffering, through subtle psychological portrayal of characters, to dramatic events filled with tension. It is precisely this diversity of themes and styles that makes this volume one of the most interesting in the entire edition.

It contains:

• Heinrich von Kleist – Michael Kohlhaas, a classic German short story about justice, revenge and the individual against the state system, one of the most powerful works of German literature.
• Gysi Schramek – Four Letters from Miss Baby de Lay, a psychologically sophisticated story in the form of letters.
• Marija Ebner-Eschenbach – Krambambuli, a touching story about a dog, loyalty and human cruelty.
• Ugo Ojetti – Cardinal Varano's Violets, a refined Italian novella full of subtle humor and irony.
• E. Phillips Oppenheim – Gambling Road..., a suspenseful story by a master of the English crime and adventure genre.
• Concha Espina – Money for a Doll, an emotional Spanish story about poverty and maternal love. Aage Kohl – The Theatre Fire, a dramatic and suspenseful story.
