Excerpt from The Duel
Can't you recognise your own commander, your own captain?
Another step and you are a dead man, shouted the Tartar, in a furious rage. In his bloodshot eyes one could discern not only wrath and murder, but a good deal of fear and perplexity, and he made nervous thrusts with his bayonet in different directions, just as if he were protecting himself against imaginary foes. Round about him, but at a respectful distance, a crowd of soldiers flocked together, accepting with joy and gratitude this interesting little interlude in their insufferable, soul killing drill.

"""[F]irst-rate...astutely selected and attractively packaged...indisputably great works."
--Adam Begley, "The New York Observer"
"I've always been haunted by Bartleby, the proto-slacker. But it's the handsomely minimalist cover of the Melville House edition that gets me here, one of many in the small publisher's fine 'Art of the Novella' series."
