The Lesson of the Master (The Art of the Novella series)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This beautifully packaged series of classic novellas includes the works of Anton Chekhov, Colette, Henry James, Herman Melville, and Leo Tolstoy. These collectible editions are the first single-volume publications of these classic tales, offering a closer look at this underappreciated literary form and providing a fresh take on the world's most celebrated authors.
This brilliantly realized, morally ambiguous tale of a young writer and his encounter with "The Master," an accomplished writer whom the young man has long idolized, is a humorous and devastating inquiry into the emotional price that an artist pays for his art.
