Great Short Stories of the World

A Collection of Complete Short Stories Chosen from the Literatures of All Periods and Countries

Barrett Harper Clark's anthology gathers complete short stories from many countries, historical periods, and literary traditions. It ranges from ancient and classical narratives to works by later writers including Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Anton Chekhov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Ambrose Bierce, O. Henry, and Mark Twain. The collection is intended as a broad survey of the short-story form rather than a study of a single author or national literature.
