Summary
The duel is specifically about honour. A principle that humanity often takes too far, even today.In centuries past the duel was fought by two men who could resolve their quarrel in no other way. The victim felt anything from slighted to humiliated and must regain his honour, whatever the cost. Pistols at ten paces, or rather closer with swords, should see the matter settled. Of course, despite its arrival at violence there were many rules ands traditions to take account of.In this volume our classic authors explore all sorts of duels and the consequences of those actions.1 - Stories About Duels - An Introduction2 - The Shot by Alexander Pushkin3 - The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky by Stephen Crane4 - A Coward by Guy de Maupassant5 - An Ugly Customer by Bernard Capes6 - Cavalleria Rusticana by Giovanni Verga7 - The Middle Toe of the Right Foot by Ambrose Bierce8 - The Duel by Nikolai Teleshov
