A brilliant young man, long shunned by his peers, is on the verge of becoming one of the greatest scholars in his country but cannot bear the rivalry imposed by his childhood enemy. A steamroller arrives in a village to flatten its roads and is set on a mad race that the inhabitants cannot interrupt, causing tragic damage. The editor of a struggling writer, struggling to finish his book, assigns an intermediary to push him to complete his work. Dissatisfied with the scheme, the author decides to radically change his style and encounters unexpected success. Between realistic tale, parable, fable, and even a coming-of-age novel, there are nine stories that make up this collection. Quantity
