Here are two classic novellas as well: The Temptation of Jack Orkney and The Other Woman, which exemplify Lessings grasp of the most essential human psychology. Rich and various in mood and background-the settings range across England and France-these stories powerfully convey the uncompromising insight, intelligence, and vision of one of the most ardently admired writers of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197133287712,"sku":"NEW0307269884","price":32.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71WPscS2fmL.jpg?v=1786960667","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/stories-introduction-by-margaret-drabble-everymans-library-contemporary-classics-series-0307269884","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
