Pride, envy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. Fourteen short story masterpieces selected for discussion and reflection. Authors include Flannery O'Connor, Raymond Carver, Edith Wharton, and Tobias Wolff.
The sequel to the Seven Deadly Sins Sampler ups the ante with fourteen more stories from Jim Shepard, Rose Tremain, Nadine Gordimer, Honoré de Balzac, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The five volumes in the Great Conversations series bring together voices from past and present that we believe will stand the test of time. The series draws on recognizable classics as well as writing by contemporary masters. Yes, John Donne, Immanuel Kant, and Virgina Woolf. But also Raymond Carver, Alice Munro, and Jhumpa Lahiri.
