Skyboat Media presents The Best of Katherine Mansfield, an original compilation of stories from one of the defining writers of modernist fiction. Katherine Mansfield’s stories shine a light on the duality and the overpowering nature of psychology through her delicate, nuanced, and often stream-of-consciousness narration style. None of her stories seem to settle on just one theme; like life they encompass the intersectional nature of all moments, from the most minute and mundane to the most terrific and tragic.

Katherine Mansfield verlässt mit zwanzig Jahren ihre neuseeländische Heimat, um in London Schriftstellerin zu werden. Doch erst einmal landet sie schwanger in der Pension eines bayerischen Kurorts. Dort kann sie ihre Beobachtungsgabe literarisch ausleben, vor allem wenn sie auf Menschen trifft, die während der Kur das enge Korsett gesellschaftlicher Zwänge ablegen. Entstanden sind messerscharfe und sehr amüsante Erzählungen. Über scheinbare Banalitäten verdeutlichen sie tief verankerte Verhaltensmuster, Vorurteile und Klischees im beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts. Nina Hoss leiht der Pionierin der modernen Short Story ihre Stimme.

Loss in any form seems to burden us with more weight than anything that can possibly be gained or learnt from. The loss of a person, a loved one, is often overwhelming. Lives so interwoven that the severing or loss of one life leaves the other weakened, unable to function for some time. Recovery comes in a myriad of forms but is usually debilitating, slow and, in the end, we are not as whole as we once were.It is a subject that authors return to again and again.

When we read or listen, words can have a transforming effect. Our mood can alter in the space of a few sentences from joy to sadness. And not just our mood. These words can affect us physically, they can engage our emotions and even in their sadness bring a lump to our throat and tears to our eyes. Sometimes the relief can be palpable. Our authors, from Anton Chekhov, Stephen Crane, Willa Cather, Katherine Mansfield and a wealth of others, are well aware of what their talents will evoke. Genius has many names.

Katherine was born on the 14th October 1888 into a prominent family in Wellington, New Zealand, the middle child of five. At 19 Katherine left for England, where she met and befriended the modernist writers D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf, amongst others. She then travelled to Europe before returning to New Zealand. There she began to write the short stories that she would later become so famous for. But there was another less-heralded side to Katherine’s writings; that of poetry. Her verse certainly reflects much of the themes of her life and interests.

En una cuidada reedición con la que la casa de publicaciones ha querido estrenar su sello Bovarismos, dedicado a la literatura femenina clásica y contemporánea, se encuentra desde el conocido cuento "La fiesta en el jardín", hasta el que lleva el título del libro, "El desconocido", uno de los relatos menos compilados en la obra narrativa de Mansfield, pero tan encantador como todos los de esta genial autora, inconmovible al paso de los tiempos.

"È un aloe, Kezia" disse Linda. "Non fa mai fiori?" "Sì, bambina mia" disse la madre. Chinò la testa verso Kezia e, socchiudendo gli occhi, le sorrise: "Una volta ogni cento anni". È dal desiderio di dar voce alla terra natale, la Nuova Zelanda, "una terra sconosciuta da far guizzare per un istante davanti agli occhi del Vecchio Mondo", che tra il 1915 e il 1916 nasce "L'aloe", che Katherine Mansfield chiamava "il mio romanzo" e dal quale avrebbe poi tratto uno dei suoi racconti più intensi, "Preludio".

Il titolo di questo libro è il titolo di una poesia di Coleridge che è il tema del più lungo dei racconti, pubblicati postumi, scritti dal 1908 al 1921, a solo due anni dalla morte prematura della scrittrice, di cui Virginia Woolf ha detto: "E' l'unica scrittura che io abbia mai invidiato". Il filo conduttore dei racconti, e forse della vita, dell'autrice, è il passaggio continuo dalla vita al sogno, o meglio da un mondo ad un altro, legati da fili sottilissimi, sempre sul punto di rompersi.

The Baron is a short story by Katherine Mansfield: "Who is he?" I said. "And why does he sit always alone, with his back to us, too?" - "Ah!" whispered the Frau Oberregierungsrat, "he is a Baron." - She looked at me very solemnly, and yet with the slightest possible contempt - a "fancy-not-recognising-that-at-the-first-glance" expression.

At the Bay is a 1922 short story by Katherine Mansfield. It was first published in the London Mercury in January 1922 in twelve sections, and later reprinted in The Garden Party and Other Stories (1922) with a short descriptive coda which is now the thirteenth section.

While writing it at the Chalet des Sapins, she was coming to terms with her relationship with Murry and with her own origins and identity.
