An action is taken. It may be as the result of balanced thought or on a mere whim or impulse. But once taken many of these actions cannot be disregarded or ignored. They have set in motion effects and consequences. Some may be harmless or just minor irritations, but others can have long-lasting consequences that bring regret and the thought of what might have been.

In this volume our classic authors Sherwood Anderson, Katherine Mansfield, D H Lawrence and many others bring narratives that bring regret and its’ aftermath in many shades and hues.

Guy de Maupassant

Guy de Maupassant was a French writer and poet considered to be one of the pioneers of the modern short story whose best-known works include "Boule de Suif," "Mother Sauvage," and "The Necklace." De Maupassant was heavily influenced by his mother, a divorcée who raised her sons on her own, and whose own love of the written word inspired his passion for writing. While studying poetry in Rouen, de Maupassant made the acquaintance of Gustave Flaubert, who became a supporter and life-long influence for the author. De Maupassant died in 1893 after being committed to an asylum in Paris.
