    About this ebook

    Money - and the social effects of having it or not - is too big a theme in people's daily lives to be ignored by literature. The writers gave the most varied interpretations and looked from the most different angles to the human relationship with money - but the final thought is always up to the reader.
    The critic August Nemo selected seven classic short stories on this subject:

    - Counterparts by James Joyce
    - The Romance of a Busy Broker by O. Henry
    - Sleepy by Anton Chekhov
    - Neighbour Rosicky by Willa Cather
    - An Old Maid's Triumph by George Gissing
    - The Egg by Sherwood Anderson
    - A Simple Soul by Gustave Flaubert
