The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood began as a group of painters, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt, who wished to reject the stern and academic strictures of current painting and return to the simpler and more uncomplicated days before the Italian High Renaissance and the days of Raphael. The movement was short lived but very influential and, as well, was taken up by a number of different arts.

Este libro excepcional reúne la novela corta que le otorga su título y otros seis relatos más, de los que todos menos uno pertenecen a la etapa de plena madurez del autor.

Había transcurrido por lo menos media hora desde el secuestro, y sólo quedaban los rastros: el cristal del lado del chofer destruido por un balazo, la mancha de sangre y el granizo del vidrio en el asiento, y la sombra húmeda en el asfalto, de donde acababan de llevarse al chofer todavía con vida. El resto estaba limpio y en orden."

Răspunderea mea este de asemenea precisă, dar e mică, iar consecințele nu sunt ultime. Și totuși teama mea e teribilă și fac tot ce pot pentru a nu ajunge în fața omulețului în togă. Stăm față în față cu viața noastră sau cel care ne-a făcut concesia libertății. Totul aici e vag: judecătorul, vina, sentința."
