• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"e;The other ladies consider her 'very, very fast. Her lack of vanity, her slang, the way she treated men as though she was one of them, and the fact that she didn't care twopence about her house and called the servant Gladys 'Glad-eyes', was disgraceful."e; Like her friend Virginia Woolf's 'Mrs. Dalloway' (1925), 'At the Bay' (1922) by Katherine Mansfield covers a single day from different points of view. In this beautifully written short story filled with rich characters and vivid imagery, we visit or revisit the Burnell family in a story about nothing and everything.

Rezensionen

"The only writing I have ever been jealous of." --Virginia Woolf

"By the time of her death in 1923, at age 34, she was being acclaimed as one of the few truly outstanding short-story writers in English, and with minor fluctuations her reputation has held firm ever since." --The New York Times

"A courageous, reckless character--by turns precociously sensual, cynical, and childish . . . There are stories of hers that last, because they have her sting, delicacy, and wit." --V.S. Pritchett, The New Yorker

"[Mansfield has brought] her inventions right over the threshold of art. They are extraordinarily solid; they have lived so long in her mind that she knows all about them and can ransack them for the difficult, rare, essential points." --Rebecca West
