Stories About Loneliness in Big Cities: James Joyce, Anton Chekhov, Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, O. Henry, Leonid Andreyev, Catherine Wells & Beatrice Harraden
Many of us enjoy solitude. Maybe a few minutes, or an hour, maybe a few days to decompress and unwind. But for some people, and there are many persuasive reasons as to why, solitude has a big brother; Loneliness. There is no-one to share with, to split the burden or triumphs of life.
And in big cities, that teem with life and energy, to be alone is one of the great conundrums of life.

In this volume our classic authors explore this difficult subject.
