Lessons From Literature - Stories About the Dangers of Greed

Language

Format
Category

Classics

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.
