Five Tales

Galsworthy is a wonderful writer. I am rating this edition which appears to have been printed from a Kindle file. There is no publisher, no cover page, the first story starts on the first page inside the cover, the text is ~ 8 font, and the binding is cheap. The cover is attractive in order to sell the book on-line but this is not a published book, merely a print-out of text. Avoid this.

Freud mentions Galsworthy's tales in his Civilizations and Its Discontents. JG is masterful with his language. A genuinely delightful read.

The first tale was a really suspenseful, film noir type of story which really had me hopeful for the rest of the book. By comparison, the rest of the tales were a bit of a letdown with the exception of the middle one. Cannot highly recommend this one, but if you must, like I said, go for one and three first.

Fuenf Erzaehlungen, die nicht wie Kurzgeschichte sich um einen einzigen Gedanken ranken, sondern Erzaehlungen, die ein Thema aus der Sicht des Lebenserfahrenen ausfuehrlich betrachten und darlegen, melancholisch und vergnueglich zugleich!
