Collected Short Stories

About this book

"My story is true... every word of it. Or when I say that my story is 'true', I mean at least I am telling it in a new way..."So begins "The Shout," the tale of a man possessed by a lethal magic, perhaps Robert Graves's most famous story. This collection spans 1924-62; it takes in the worlds of love and war, history and myth, and settings as various as England, Ancient Rome and Majorca. In so far as its author asserts the truth of his stories, they can be read as episodes of autobiography, this collection forming an essential companion to "Goodbye to All That."
