Lost Love and Other Stories [antikvár]

Introduction The house was dark and quiet. But one hour later, there was a sudden noise in the night. Mr Brown sat up in bed. He was cold and afraid. 'What was that noise?' he wondered. Mr Brown (in 'The Doll') has a very quiet and boring life. But everything changes when he buys a doll. He hears voices. Things move and break. What is happening — and can he stop it? The stories in this book are all different. Some are sad and some are happy. But they are all very exciting. Something strange happens to the people in each story. But life is strange sometimes. In 'Lost Love', a young man finds a girl and loves her. Then he loses her. Will he find her again? In 'The Other Man', a writer is afraid of a stranger in his room. Who is the other man, and what does he want? A young soldier, in 'The Charm', is afraid of fighting. How can he learn to be brave? And in 'Journey's End', an inteUigent young man without a job learns something about his future. Will it change his life?
