Fastän Bertha Young var trettio år fyllda upplevde hon fortfarande ögonblick som dessa, ögonblick då hon ville springa istället för att gå, dansa fram på trottoaren, hoppa ner på gatan och sedan upp igen, kasta något högt upp i luften och fånga det, eller bara stå blickstilla och skratta åt ... ingenting ... åt vad som helst. Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) reste till modernismens Europa och förnyade novellkonsten. Virginia Woolf erkände att hon var avundsjuk på Mansfields förmågor. T. S. Eliot menade att Mansfield var "en farlig kvinna". Katherine Mansfields skimrande berättelser om kvinnors utsatthet, barnets perspektiv och ögonblickets kraft var banbrytande när de kom och är oefterhärmliga än idag. I denna samling av utvalda noveller bjuds läsaren in att uppleva Mansfields magi. I ny svensk översättning av Daniel Martinez.

In addition to the title piece, it includes fourteen other masterful stories, including "At the Bay" and "The Daughters of the Late Colonel."

A beautiful new hardback edition of Katherine Mansfield's most vivid and distinctive stories. Katherine Mansfield was the only writer Virginia Woolf envied. Mansfield transformed the short story genre with her work, creating stories miraculous in their intensity yet seemingly so simple. The shift of a heart, the beat of a moment, the changing of the light: in these stories emotional universes are contained within glimpses. Mansfield only lived to the age of 34 but in that time wrote stories true to her indomitable spirit. A hundred years on from her death, Mansfield's biographer, Claire Harman, has created this new selection to show us the master of the short story form in full flight. WITH A FOREWORD BY HELEN SIMPSON AND INTRODUCTION BY CLAIRE HARMAN'There is something rapturous about her work...she has the power to distil the apparently inconsequential into frozen moments laden with significance' Guardian'Would you not like to try all sorts of lives - one is so very small - but that is the satisfaction of writing - one can impersonate so many people' Katherine Mansfield

La obra de Katherine Mansfield es una de las má s interesantes y heterogé neas de la literatura inglesa del siglo XX. "Cuentos Í ntimos" es una antologÍ a que propone acercarse a una autora que supo mostrarle al mundo que el lugar que la cultura imperante, patriarcal y heteronormativa, asignaba a la mujer era el de lo Í ntimo, pero que esa intimidad a la que habÍ a sido relegada, podÍ a y debÍ a elevarse a la categorÍ a má s trascendente de las experiencias humanas. Entre las mujeres de los cuentos de Mansfield abundan auté nticas epifanÍ as cotidianas, iluminaciones domé sticas y fabulosas, que son tan transformadoras como incomunicables, y que actú an como un grito de rebelió n, una rebelió n invisible, protagonizada por todas las formas de ser mujer en el mundo._x000D_
