Telling Tales edited Nadine Gordimer (Used)

Gather round to enjoy the story-telling collected for your enjoyment in this book. Rarely have world writers of such variety and distinction appeared together in the same anthology. Their stories capture the range of emotions and situations of our human universe: tragedy, comedy, fantasy, satire, dramas of sexual love and of war in different continents and cultures. The reader learns about others - and about him or herself, revealed as only fiction, the ancient of story-telling, can do and always has done.

The 21 stories are written in different 'voices' - vividly individual styles - exploring the marvellous possibilities of the use of words by living writers. They are not about HIV / AIDS. But all twenty-one writers have given their stories--chosen by themselves as representing some of the best of their lifetime work as storytellers--without any fee or royalty.

Telling Tales is being published in more than twelve countries. The publisher's profits from the sales of this book will go to HIV / AIDS preventive education and for medical treatment for people living with the suffering this pandemic infection brings to our contemporary world.
