Being curious, learning from all of our experiences, is one of our most pleasing traits as human beings. In this series we examine particular facets of ourselves and, with the aid of many classic authors, delve into characters and stories that not only entertain us, but inform us on how short stories can help us both deal and understand issues that touch and weave into our lives with the words and narratives of many wise talents. In this volume greed and ambition are our classic authors guides to characters and narratives that turn hunger into want and excess. Enough for us is never enough for them. And whether its money, love, or any other asset they want to accrue, these stories illustrate the true cost of such behaviour. 01 - Lessons From Literature - Stories About the Dangers of Greed - An Introduction 2 - How Much Land Does A Man Need by Leo Tolstoy 3 - The Rocking Horse Winner by D H Lawrence 4 - The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant 5 - A Pair of Silk Stockings by Kate Chopin 6 - The Lottery Ticket by Anton Chekhov 7 - The Queen of Spades by Alexander Pushkin 8 - The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde 9 - Transformation by Mary Shelley 10 - Oil of Dog by Ambrose Bierce 11 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs 12 - The Green Light by Barry Pain 13 - The General's Will by Vera Jelihovsky 14 - Gooseberries by Anton Chekhov 15 - Chelkash by Maxim Gorky
