About the Book

Transcending the frontiers of literature, this collection of short stories delves into the myriad shades of emotions felt by those around us and those far, far away; even those who may have lived years and centuries before us. From the glorious forests of Latin America to Doyle’s Baker Street, from the modernistic hotel room crisis in Asia; to Maupassant’s vivid portrayal of French life and Chekhov’s haunting simplicity, this volume showcases ingenious writers from across the globe as they portray the human condition, looking at life through the lens of love, humour, anxiety, playfulness and most importantly, honesty.
