The Garden Party and Other Stories

Meer over het boek

Exploring themes of human behavior and emotional depth, this collection features fifteen stories that reflect Katherine Mansfield's innovative narrative style. Set largely in New Zealand, the stories range from the impressionistic depiction of family life in "At the Bay" to the poignant tale of isolation in "Mrs. Brill," where a woman's self-perception is shattered. Written during Mansfield's final illness, the collection captures a sense of urgency and showcases her talent for transforming the short story format into a powerful medium of expression.
