Аннотация
Although Katherine Mansfield was closely associated with D.H. Lawrence and something of a rival of Virginia Woolf, her stories suggest someone writing in a different era and in a vastly different English. Her language is as transparent as clean glass, yet hovers on the edge of poetry. Her characters are passionate men and women swaddled in English reserve -- and sometimes briefly breaking through. And her genius is to pinpoint those unacknowledged and almost imperceptible moments in which those people's relationships -- with one another and themselves -- change forever. This collection includes such masterpieces as "e;Prelude,"e; "e;At the Bay"e; "e;Bliss,"e; "e;The Man Without a Temperament"e; and "e;The Garden Party"e; and has a new introduction by Jeffrey Meyers.From the Trade Paperback edition.
