Bücher von Katherine Mansfield

Innovative, startlingly perceptive and aglow with colour, these fifteen stories were written towards the end of Katherine Mansfield's tragically short life. Many are set in the author's native New Zealand, others in England and the French Riviera. All are revelations of the unspoken, half-understood emotions that make up everyday experience - from the blackly comic 'The Daughters of the Late Colonel', and the short, sharp sketch 'Miss Brill', in which a lonely woman's precarious sense of self is brutally destroyed, to the vivid impressionistic evocation of family life in 'At the Bay'. 'All that I write,' Mansfield said, 'all that I am - is on the borders of the sea. It is a kind of playing.'

The Garden Party and Other Stories is a 1922 collection of short stories by the writer Katherine Mansfield. Written during the final stages of her illness, "The Garden Party and Other Stories" is full of a sense of urgency and was Katherine Mansfield's last collection to be published during her lifetime. The fifteen stories featured, many of them set in her native New Zealand, vary in length and tone from the opening story, "At the Bay, " a vivid impressionistic evocation of family life, to the short, sharp sketch "Mrs. Brill, " in which a lonely woman's precarious sense of self is brutally destroyed when she overhears two young lovers mocking her. Sensitive revelations of human behaviour, these stories reveal Mansfield's supreme talent as an innovator who freed the story from its conventions and gave it a new strength and prestige.

Published in 1922, The Garden Party and Other Stories is Katherine Mansfield's third and most acclaimed collection of short stories. In addition to the title piece, it includes fourteen other masterful stories, including "At the Bay" and "The Daughters of the Late Colonel." Set in post-World War I Europe and New Zealand, Mansfield captures the psychology and inner lives of her characters through free indirect discourse and sudden moments of realization and insight. Many of The Garden Party stories were written between 1920 and 1921 when Mansfield was both at the height of her literary powers and seriously ill with tuberculosis, to which she succumbed in 1923. Includes a review of the 1922 edition by Rebecca West, an essay by Mansfield scholar Joanna Woods, and a detailed biographical timeline.

Katherine Mansfield: In einer deutschen PensionLesefreundlicher Großdruck in 16-pt-SchriftAm 9. Juni 1909 bezieht eine junge Frau in Wörishofen - das Bad wird erst ab 1920 vorangestellt - im Hotel Kreuzer unter dem Namen »Käthe Beauchamp-Bowden« ein Zimmer. Sie ist mit 20 Jahren nach damaligem Recht nicht volljährig. Als Beruf gibt die selbstbewusste Neuseeländerin »Schriftstellerin« an, auch wenn bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt keine einzige Zeile von ihr veröffentlich worden ist. Man kann nicht sagen, dass Käthes Leben rund läuft. Getrennt von ihrer in Neuseeland gebliebenen großen Liebe Maata Mahupuku, einer Maori-Prinzessin, die sie in der Schule in Wellington kennen und lieben lernte, wird sie in London von dem Sohn ihres Cellolehrers schwanger. Sie heiratet etwas überstürzt, allerdings nicht den Kindsvater, sondern einen Gesangslehrer, von dem sie sich noch in der Hochzeitsnacht wieder trennt. Daraufhin reist ihre Mutter aus Neuseeland an, versteckt die im fünften Monat schwangere Minderjährige im finstersten Bayern und enterbt die missratene Tochter. Einen Monat später erleidet Käthe eine Fehlgeburt.Als sie nach knapp halbjährigem Aufenthalt Ende Dezember 1909 nach England zurückkehrt, hat sie eine kleine Sammlung von Erzählungen im Gepäck, die die literarische Welt schon bald als richtungsweisend und genreprägend erkennen wird. Schonungslos legen ihre kleinen Humoresken das Eigentliche frei, werfen präzise Schlaglichter auf Gewalt in der Ehe und die freie Liebe, auf Provinzialismus und Selbstverliebtheit. Ab Februar 1910 erscheinen sie in der einflussreichen Zeitschrift »New Age«, neben Texten von Bernhard Shaw, H.G. Wells und G.K. Chesterton. 1911 folgt die erste Buchausgabe, die unter dem Titel »In a German Pension« den Weltruhm der unkonventionellen jungen Frau begründet, die fortan unter dem Namen Katherine Mansfield auftreten wird.Großformat, 210 x 297 mmBerliner Ausgabe, 2022Durchgesehener Neusatz bearbeitet und eingerichtet von Theodor Borken»In a German Pension«, Erstdruck 1911.Inhaltsverzeichnis:In einer deutschen Pension.Zum Geleit.Deutsche beim Fleisch.Der Baron.Die Schwester der Baronin.Frau Fischer.Frau Brechenmacher besucht eine Hochzeitsfeier.Die moderne Seele.Bei Lehmanns.Das Luftbad.Ein Geburtstag.Das Kind, das müde war.Die fortschrittliche Dame.Das Schwingen des Pendels.Eine Explosion.Umschlaggestaltung von Thomas Schultz-Overhage unter Verwendung des Bildes: Heiner Hawel, Collage Katherine Mansfield, 2022.Gesetzt aus der Minion Pro, 16 pt.Henricus - Edition Deutsche Klassik GmbH

Große weibliche Erzählkunst von der Meisterin der modernen Short Story Mit dieser exklusiven Auswahl lässt sich die Meisterin der kleinen Form (wieder)entdecken. Es war der kurze, oft alles entscheidende Lebensmoment, der Katherine Mansfield faszinierte. Ganz bewusst konzentrierte sie sich auf die detaillierte Beschreibung des Augenblicks: Die junge Hutverkäuferin, die am Fenster sitzend von Pelzmänteln und Sportcoupés träumt. Der Schock einer Sippe aus der High Society, als man vom gewaltsamen Tod eines Anwohners hört, dann aber doch darauf verzichtet, die Gartenparty abzusagen. Der Moment, in dem die Ehefrau begreift, dass ihr Mann die Hand ihrer Freundin um eine Sekunde zu lang gehalten hat. Wie kaum einer anderen Autorin gelingt es Katherine Mansfield, stets jenen Zeitpunkt einzufangen, der die ganze Wahrheit offenbart. Mit ihren Erzählungen schuf sie eine moderne Form der englischen Kurzgeschichte und gleichzeitig ein Werk, das dank seiner psychologischen Raffinesse bis heute nichts von seiner Anziehungskraft eingebüßt hat. Wer moderne Literatur liebt, die unterhaltsam und raffiniert zugleich ist, kommt an dieser Autorin, die selbst Virginia Woolf als "die beste aller Schriftstellerinnen" bezeichnete, nicht vorbei.
