Download or read book Katherine Mansfield s Short Stories written by Katherine Mansfield and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-01-18 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Katherine Mansfield's Short Stories," the author captures some of the fleeting impressions we encounter daily. Some stories, like "The Garden Party", "The Doll's House", "The Daughters of the Late Colonel", accurately convey the sense of loss, the breathlessness of youth, and the regret of unfulfilled lives all in subtle yet striking prose. The beauty of Mansfield's writing lies in her poetic description of detail--her power of suggestion--and her courage. She was determined, both in her life and in her writing, to move against the current of the time. Her life was filled with problems: her health, her love life, and her writing all caused her measureless pain, but in spite of these she lived her life the way she chose to live it. There are30 stories in this very excellent Katherine Mansfield collection. Her detailed descriptions of objects are intrinsic to the stories, tiny sparkles that spread out and create a canvas on which her characters interact. Every story has its own suppressed passion as Ms. Mansfield gets right into the heart of what makes us all human. They are filled with arrivals and departures, spinsterhood and marriage, love and loss and pangs of despair. Children play a role in her writings, as do distinctions of social class. Life is a struggle for her characters, who are timeless in their humanity, though they all live in a world that existed more than 80 years ago. With rare exceptions, the stories are sad. Layered with subtleties as they deal with the major themes of life and death, "Katherine Mansfield's Short Stories" offers many small slices of life, rare glimpses into human nature with sharp insights meant to spark memories and feelings in the reader, all while providing a deeply enriching literary experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten stories from the ‘brilliant’ Katherine Mansfield set in New Zealand. As Vincent O’Sullivan states, those encountering Mansfield’s stories for the first time have invariably found they ‘were alive, they were witty, they were moving, they covered new ground’. But with about 70 stories to choose from and a vast array of themes and approaches, where do you start, and how do you begin to understand and best appreciate her writing and achievements? This series features selections of her best stories, grouped by subject and introduced by Mansfield scholar Vincent O’Sullivan, who is also a writer of fiction in his own right. Each volume offers a different way to view Mansfield’s work. This selection includes her most-loved stories about the New Zealand of her childhood. As O'Sullivan explains, his choices cover ‘everything of importance that happened to her, that she observed and experienced, between childhood in Wellington’s wooden houses, to her deciding in Switzerland in July 1922, that her final paragraph about a singing bird was the place for her to stop’.

Download or read book Public Library and Other Stories written by Ali Smith and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the acclaimed, award-winning author: Why are books so very powerful? What do the books we’ve read over our lives—our own personal libraries—make of us? What does the unraveling of our tradition of public libraries, so hard-won but now in jeopardy, say about us? The stories in Ali Smith’s new collection are about what we do with books and what they do with us: how they travel with us; how they shock us, change us, challenge us, banish time while making us older, wiser and ageless all at once; how they remind us to pay attention to the world we make. Woven between the stories are conversations with writers and readers reflecting on the essential role that libraries have played in their lives. At a time when public libraries around the world face threats of cuts and closures, this collection stands as a work of literary activism—and as a wonderful read from one of our finest authors.
