By Ernest Dowson

Book Overview

Dilemmas is a collection of short stories written by Ernest Christopher Dowson and first published in 1903. The book consists of 14 stories, each exploring a different moral or ethical dilemma faced by the characters. The stories are set in various locations, including London, Paris, and Venice, and feature a range of characters from different social classes and backgrounds. The themes of the stories are often dark and melancholic, exploring the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of difficult choices. Some of the stories deal with topics such as infidelity, betrayal, and addiction, while others focus on more philosophical questions about the nature of love, desire, and morality. Despite the often somber tone of the stories, Dowson's writing is lyrical and poetic, with a strong emphasis on atmosphere and mood. Many of the stories are infused with a sense of nostalgia and longing, reflecting Dowson's own struggles with depression and addiction. Overall, Dilemmas is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant collection of stories that offers a unique insight into the human condition.
