Stories of the East

"Stories of the East" by Leonard Woolf is a collection of short stories demonstrating the mistrust of and dislike for colonialism. During his life in India, Woolf was an observer of the uncomfortable moral ground occupied by the servants of the British Government in Ceylon before the Great War. The stories he saw and lived through became the basis of this book. It contains three stories: «A Tale Told by Midnight,» «The Two Brahmans,» and «Pearls and Swine.»
