Katherine Mansfield is often recognized as one of the true innovators of the modern short story. The New Zealand-born Englishwoman embraced a Bohemian lifestyle and became involved in a series of scandalous relationships, which greatly influenced some of her most significant work. Her best-known writings were produced in her final years, as she was plagued by illness. Her fiction is dominated by themes of male-female relationships, sexual ambivalence, and gender roles. Most of her work focuses on female protagonists and demonstrates the problems of social relationships. This collection, written between 1920-1922, includes "At the Bay", a story that proposes there is more to a woman's life than marriage and motherhood; "The Garden Party", which explores class differences; "The Daughters of the Late Colonel", a story about life and death; "Marriage la Mode", about the dissolution of a relationship; "Miss Brill", Mansfield's memorable tale of the lonely woman, and many more.

Katherine Mansfield hör till världslitteraturens största namn i novellgenren. Tidigt präglad av ryske Anton Tjechovs impressionism utvecklade Mansfield en egen modernistisk berättarstil som haft stort inflytande på all senare novellkonst. Hennes berättelser är styrda av psykologiska konflikter, gestaltade med en subtilitet och en poetisk skevhet som ger dem ett liv bortom språkens konventioner. Denna bok samlar inte mindre än 38 av Mansfields noveller. Samtliga texter från de klassiska verken Bliss & Other Stories [1920] och The Garden Party & Other Stories [1922], därtill ett urval postuma berättelser. I svensk översättning av Märta Lindqvist, Birgitta Hammar och Ingrid Ingemark och med ett nyskrivet förord av författaren Wera von Essen. KATHERINE MANSFIELD, egentligen Kathleen Mansfield Beauchamp (senare Murry), föddes 1888 i Wellington, Nya Zeeland, och dog 1923 till följd av sin lungtuberkulos på ett sjukhus nära Fontaine Bleau, Frankrike. Mansfield lämnade hemlandet vid 19 års ålder och flyttade till Europa. I London etablerade hon sig som författare och blev vän med Virginia Woolf och D. H. Lawrence. Ryktet säger att den senare smittade henne med lungsjukdomen som blev hennes död, vid endast 35 års ålder.» Katherine Mansfields skrivande är det enda jag någonsin varit avundsjuk på. Förmodligen hade vi något gemensamt jag aldrig kommer att hitta hos någon annan.« Virginia Woolf

When her wealthy family prepares to host a lavish summer party, the young, hitherto sheltered Laura Sheridan suddenly feels a kinship with the staff and the helpers hired to set up the venue for the festivities. As she learns of the death of one of their working-class neighbours, this burgeoning sense of class consciousness is heightened by a realization of her own mortality. Published in 1922, at the height of literary Modernism, `The Garden Party' is now considered one of the key texts of that movement. This volume, which also includes all of Katherine Mansfi eld's other published short stories, is an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to discover one of the early twentieth century's finest writers.

En overdådig hagefest hos familien Sheridan "forstyrres" av en fattig nabomanns utidige død. Det setter tankene og følelsene i gang hos den velbergede familiens datter, som ikke bare bevisstgjøres om klasseforskjeller og hovmodighet, men også forsøker å forlike seg med at livet og døden, gleden og sorgen, kan finne sted i samme øyeblikk.
