A rich and delicately balanced comedy of manners, The Europeans weighs the values of the established order against those of New England society, but makes no simple judgements, only subtle contrasts and beautifully observed comparisons.

The stories in the present volume have been selected from `The Triumph of the Egg`, a rich collection of tales published in 1921, two years after the resounding success of Anderson`s masterpiece, `Winesburg, Ohio`.

Beneath their surface simplicity, the tales explore remarkable...
