Silver Circus

de A. E. Coppard · Publicada por primera vez en 1928

In this collection of stories, A. E. Coppard has developed to a new perfection the subtlety, comprehension, and originality which have always distinguished his work. The title story is the tragedy of a Viennese street porter, who is unexpectedly put into a position to avenge himself most horribly on his wife's lover. "A Looking Glass for St. Luke" is the delicate and lovely story of a man who looks back to what might have been. "Fine Feathers" tells of Homer Dodd, a brewery clerk, whose life centered on the evening dress suit which he never wore.
