Book excerpt: Money - and the social effects of having it or not - is too big a theme in people's daily lives to be ignored by literature. The writers gave the most varied interpretations and looked from the most different angles to the human relationship with money - but the final thought is always up to the reader. The critic August Nemo selected seven classic short stories on this subject: - Counterparts by James Joyce - The Romance of a Busy Broker by O. Henry - Sleepy by Anton Chekhov - Neighbour Rosicky by Willa Cather - An Old Maid's Triumph by George Gissing - The Egg by Sherwood Anderson - A Simple Soul by Gustave Flaubert
