"Stories of the East" by Leonard Woolf is a collection of short stories that looks closely at life and feelings in Eastern settings. Written in the early 1900s by a well known British author, the stories think about what it means to love someone, who we are, and the rules of society. In "A Tale Told by Moonlight," Jessop talks openly about love, saying real love is hard to find and is different from just wanting someone. "Pearls and Swine" shows the tricky parts of living in another country and the hard choices people from the West had to make back then. "The Two Brahmans" is about two men from a high social class whose dreams cause them to be kicked out of their community. The stories together make you think deeply about what is real and what happens when what we want goes against what society expects.
