Divided into four separate stories connected by one man, <i>Women</i> takes us from Ștefan's amorous entanglements at an Alpine lake resort, to his life in Bucharest and Paris, as each of the women in his life opens up new worlds for him. <i>Women</i> is a hymn to love in all its forms, romantic or platonic, sometimes reckless, often glorious and always, ultimately, ephemeral.--Mihail Sebastian<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'..these concise stories... showcase Sebastian's brilliant eye for emotional detail.'<br><br>'It's an edgy account of sexuality, desire, and the strictures of contemporary relationships... a compelling portrait of desire in its many convoluted manifestations.'--Kirkus Reviews "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>"Nothing I have read is more affecting than Mihail Sebastian's magnificent, haunting 1934 novel, For Two Thousand Years."--Phillipe Sands "The Guardian"<br><br>He wonderfully captures the atmosphere of prewar Romania in all its complexity, all the beauty and the horror...
