This beautifully packaged series of classic novellas includes the works of Anton Chekhov, Colette, Henry James, Herman Melville, and Leo Tolstoy.

I felt a lot of empathy for the main character.
A concise book packed with great wisdom.
Despite all that, it is most likely going to stay the only George Eliot book I will ever read.
