Included are seminal stories like 'To Room Nineteen'; in which a woman reacts against the oppression of her banal marriage with dreadful results; 'One off the Short List', which traces the surprising conclusion to a seduction gone awry, and 'The Habit of Loving' in which a lonely older man who takes a vivacious young wife witnesses an unexpected reversal of intimacy. Here also are two classic novellas, The Temptation of Jack Orkney and The Other Woman, exemplifying Lessing's impressive understanding of human psychology. Rich and various in mood and background - the settings range across England and France - these stories powerfully convey the uncompromising insight, intelligence and vision of one of the most ardently admired writers of our time.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,0, Justus-Liebig-Universit t Gie en (Germanistik), Veranstaltung: Literarische Form, Literarischer Inhalt, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Schriftstellerin Doris Lessing wurde als Doris May Tayler am 22. Oktober 1919 in Kermanschah in Persien geboren und wuchs auf einer Farm im ehemaligen Rhodesien, heutigem Simbabwe auf. Ihre Eltern stammten aus England und hatten sich im Ersten Weltkrieg kennengelernt. Lessings Mutter arbeitete als Krankenschwester und behandelte unter anderem auch den verkr ppelten Soldaten Alfred, den sie schlie lich aus Mitleid mit ihm, aber auch mit sich selbst, weil ihr Freund im Krieg gefallen war, heiratete. Im Jahre 1924 versuchte die Familie ihr Gl ck in England, scheiterte jedoch sehr schnell und kehrte bald nach Simbabwe zur ck. Dort begann der Vater als Maisanbauer zu arbeiten, was jedoch weder Erfolg noch Geld einbrachte. Die Familie stand nunmehr am Rande des Ruins, und Doris Lessing bekam zu sp ren, dass ihre Mutter alle Entt uschung auf sie projizierte, w hrend dem Sohn Harry alle Liebe geb hrte. Dieses distanzierte Verh ltnis zur Mutter spielt in Lessings Leben eine gro e Rolle: Es begann damit, dass sich die Eltern einen Sohn gew nscht hatten und sich nicht einmal einen Namen f r ihre Tochter berlegten, sodass der Vorschlag des Arztes "Doris" hingenommen wurde. Schlie lich konnte Lessing diese Situation nicht mehr ertragen, brach mit 14 Jahren die Schule ab und floh mit 15 Jahren nach Salisbury, wo sie sich als Schwesternhilfe versuchte. Das gespaltene Mutter-Kind-Verh ltnis nimmt in ihren Werken h ufig einen zentralen Punkt ein. 1938 heiratete sie den Engl nder Frank Wisdom, mit dem sie zwei Kinder hatte, die jedoch nach der Scheidung im Jahr 1943 bei dem Vater blieben. Zwei Jahre sp ter, 1945, heiratete sie erneut, den deutsch-j dischen Gottfried Lessing, von dem sie nach der Scheidung 1949 den gemeinsamen Sohn Peter und den Nachnam
