Doris Lessing’s "Flight" is a short story revolving around an old man and his learning of accepting in life. The author‚ however‚ does not let her readers know much about the old man‚ especially in the sphere of physical appearance. Even his name is not known to the readers.

The Real Thing by Doris Lessing: It’s a short story that Lessing relates to very old times. It is the title of Henry James’ novella written in 1899. It is very much likely that this text is in connection with James’ story. You have two different cultures and different approaches towards the same things. What is the problem? Why there is a distinction between American and British? What is wrong with the fact that Henry sees Angela or Sebastian talks about Olga? Perhaps they are trying to get along
