  I do not know what possessed me to read this short story collection. I had it in one of my bookcases and I had run out of my library books to read. I really need to read more of the books that I have. 😐 😑 😬
  
  I also have a nice copy of “The Garden Party and Other Stories” by this author. She died at a relatively early age of tuberculosis. She wrote some short stories shortly before her death to help pay for her medical care (I learned this through reading about another short story collection called The Montana Stories, published by Persephone Books.)
  
  Overall, I enjoyed these stories. I think I will read the rest of her oeuvre. She wrote no novels in her lifetime, only short stories (what she is known for) and poetry and letters.
  
  OMG… I just found this out: Her extended family included the author Countess Elizabeth von Arnim. Elizabeth von Arnim is one of my fave authors!!! 😊 From Wikipedia: Von Arnim was the first cousin of Mansfield's father. …They got on well, although Mansfield considered her wealthier cousin--who had in 1919 separated from her second husband Frank Russell, the elder brother of Bertrand Russell--to be rather patronizing. (

  1. Prelude (1918)— 4 stars
  • A wife (Linda) is unhappy with her children and her husband because she does not want to have any more babies (she’s already had 3), and her husband wants her to continue to bear him children. Her sister, Beryl, who lives with them is unhappy with her life….Stanley who is Linda’s husband is happy with his. There was very good evocative writing throughout. I could clearly picture in my mind what she was describing. This is a long short story — 51 pages.
  2. Je ne parle pas Francais (1917) —3 stars
  • Long-ish, 31 pages
  3. Bliss (1918) —4 stars
  • A wife is happy with life. She likes an enigmatic woman at a party. However, she sees her husband embrace the woman at the end of the party while whispering something in her ear.
  4. The Wind Blows (1920)—2 stars
  5. Psychology — (1920) 3 stars
  • Two people talk to each other, and they are both analyzing in their heads what the other is saying to them.
  6. Pictures — (1917) 3.5 stars
  • Very sad. An overweight woman who used to sing for a living can’t get an acting job, and will be thrown out of her bedsit apartment as a result of not having paid the rent. An overweight man picks her up at a bar. And she "sailed after the little yacht out of the café”.
  7. The Man Without a Temperament (1920) — 2.5 stars
  • A man cares for his invalid wife. Another story I didn’t understand.
  8. Mr. Reginald Peacock’s Day (1920)— 4 stars
  • Funny ending. A music teacher is under-appreciated by his wife.
  9. Sun and Moon (1920) — 3 stars
  10. Feuille d’Album (1917) — 3.5 stars
  •
  11. A Dill Pickle (1917) — 5 stars
  • A man meets a woman he dated six years before. He was an ass then and he is still an ass. Although right before he was an ass now, she thought he had changed to be a better man. Wrong!!!
  12. The Little Governess (1915) — 4 stars
  • Sad. A young woman whose first time is in Germany gets picked up by a lecher (unbeknownst to her of course), and she misses her appointment…it was a job interview. The old creep had done it before apparently.
  13. Revelations — (1920) 3.5 stars
  • A hairdresser tells his longtime customer that his only child died that morning, and she has a weird reaction.
  14. The Escape — (1920) 2.5 stars

  Esta autora fue contemporánea y amiga de Virginia Woolf y tuvo una existencia breve y tormentosa, pero llena de una pasión que se puede encontrar en sus relatos. La mayoría son retratos costumbristas de la vida de las clases medias de su época, escenas familiares donde no pasa gran cosa, hasta que afloran sentimientos y pasiones escondidas.
  
  En general me han gustado todos estos cuentos, llenos de pequeños detalles, con alegorías modernistas, que son como chispas que los iluminan. Mis preferidos son:
  
  Felicidad Con un estilo que recuerda a Mrs Dalloway de Virginia Woolf, trata temas como el matrimonio y el adulterio o los nuevos roles de la mujer en el mundo cambiante de la Inglaterra de 1918. El tono es ligero pero hay muchas ideas y símbolos en el aire.
  
  La mosca Relato muy perturbador, ligado a los horrores de la guerra mundial y que muestra una gran desconfianza en la naturaleza humana.
  
  La casa de muñecas Aquí la casa de muñecas es un juguete que funciona como instrumento de exclusión para las niñas de clase desfavorecida. Centrada en la dinámica que se da entre las niñas y en cómo la mayoría reproduce los esquemas sociales que se les inculcan.
  
  La fiesta en el jardín De nuevo aquí se retrata el orden social y cómo un accidente en las casas obreras vecinas perturba una fiesta de una familia acomodada. Laura es la hija encargada de organizar la fiesta e intenta tender puentes entre los dos mundos.
  
  La lección de canto Como en la mayoría de estos relatos, la perspectiva es enteramente femenina: todo se desarrolla en la mente de esta profesora que, mientras da la clase, recibe noticias de su prometido. Asistimos a una tormenta de emociones detrás de la fachada victoriana e impasible de esta mujer.

  "Oh, what is going to happen now?" she cried.

  
  If you're the kind of reader who wants to be told what happens next or, even, what happened before then these stories might not be for you. There's almost no history in KM's tales though the pasts of characters may well be important. What she captures so vividly is moments: sometimes through thoughts, sometimes through glorious images ('for the dark table seemed to melt into the dusky light and the glass dish and the blue bowl to float in the air' (Bliss)). Colours are important: a silvery pear tree in the moonlight conflated with a woman's silver dress, purple grapes, green shoots of daffodils, women's flesh emerging out of dark clothes or settings.
  
  But these are not effete little stories of lovely things - they're awash with pain; with the distances that open up between people; with misunderstandings and lack of comprehension. More than the later
  The Garden Party and Other Stories (or, at least, as it exists in my memory), this collection shows KM in crueler, even spiteful mode ('Pictures', for example, featuring Miss Ada Moss, adrift and penniless; or 'Mr Reginald Peacock's Day' where the cruelty implicates the reader). 'The Little Governess' even feels at home in our #MeToo climate as a woman who may be naive and a bit foolish pays too high a price for her misplaced imprudence, even as it's shaded by class assumptions and fantasy.
  
  Mansfield's writing is lovely, even thrilling in places (that scene in 'Bliss' when Bertha sees her husband in the hall...) and while the alignments to Woolf are clear, the style is also reminiscent at times of
  Colette and look forward to
  Jean Rhys. Observant, perceptive, capturing moments of subjectivity and interiority in motion, attentive to gender and gendered (mis)understandings, sometimes wickedly witty ("It begins with an incredibly beautiful line: 'Why Must It Always Be Tomato Soup?'") these are little moments of life being lived, not always happily, but captured indelibly.

  Il piacere delle piccole cose
  
  Ho iniziato a leggere (in realtà ad ascoltare, trattandosi di un audiolibro) questo libro di Katherine Mansfield assolutamente per caso, non guidato da recensioni o commenti. Pur non essendo un grande estimatore di racconti, questi brevi quadri mi hanno subito colpito, rilassato, emozionato e incantato.
  
  Non vogliono necessariamente arrivare da nessuna parte ma si limitano a trasmettere con pochissime parole sensazioni vivide; parole che si trasformano rapidamente in immagini.
  
  "Che cosa ci volete fare se avete trent'anni e, voltando l'angolo della strada, vi sentite sopraffatti, all'improvviso, da un senso di felicità, di assoluta felicità, come se aveste d'un tratto inghiottito un pezzo lucente di quel tardo sole pomeridiano che vi bruciasse dentro, spandendo una pioggerella di scintille in ogni intima fibra, in ogni dito delle mani e dei piedi?"
  
  Una scrittura precisa e con un grande potere evocativo. Dettagli, luci, odori, ombre, l'intimità della casa, gesti, piccole cose contribuiscono a creare atmosfere rarefatte e quasi sospese nel tempo; una scoperta piacevolissima che mi porterà certamente ad approfondire altri racconti della scrittrice.
  
  Aggiungo un plauso alla audiolettura di Rita Savagnone, semplicemente splendida nell'interpretazione e in grado di valorizzare al massimo queste bellissime pagine.
  Forse l'accostamento dei racconti in questa edizione potrebbe essere a mio parere migliorato; ma è solo una sfumatura.

  Cuentos perfectos. Narran hechos de la vida cotidiana que, aun cien años después, tienen una belleza que duele. En varios aparece el tema de las diferencias sociales y todos transmiten tristeza y soledad.
  
  Los primeros del libro me fascinaron: “Felicidad”, “La mosca” y “La casa de muñecas”.
  
  Será mejor describirlos con palabras de Cortázar: “los cuentos de Katherine Mansfield, de Chéjov, son significativos, algo estalla en ellos mientras los leemos y nos proponen una especie de ruptura de lo cotidiano que va mucho más allá de la anécdota reseñada”.

  Read via the Audrey reading experience app.
  I really enjoyed these short stories.
  Audrey gives an immersive reading experience, with the book narrated superbly by Juliet Stevenson, and the extra information adds new fascinating elements from the Guide, Sophie.
  After each story, we are able to gain further understanding behind the time they were written and the language Mansfield used.
  Juliet Stevenson is perfect for the narration, the emotion and passion in the story just wonderfully portrayed.
  I would have liked the voice notes from Sophie woven into the book to add more seamless playing after each story as I found it a little clunky to go between the book and the extra information.
  Nonetheless, the stories are wonderful and I can't wait to listen to another book with Audrey.

  It is possibly surprising that I had not read any Katherine Mansfield before now, but I am fairly sure that I hadn’t. I downloaded this collection to my kindle free – there are so many amazing free books to be found out there! I must say that I always find it quite difficult to review collections of short stories, but anyway here goes.
  There are fourteen stories in this collection, and while there were a couple I couldn’t quite see the point of – the majority I found to be wonderful. The writing is really very beautiful, and the characterisation surprisingly deft considering how short some of these pieces are. The stories concern small incidents in the lives of the characters – highlighting their disappointments, naiveties and quiet angers.
  Two of my favourite stories were the first story Prelude, and the title story Bliss. In Prelude a family move from town to a large house in the country - there are four adults and three children, nothing very much happens – but the setting and characterisation are just glorious. In the title story Bliss – a young woman is about to get a rude awakening from her perfect life. Then the way Mansfield ends this sharp little piece is just masterly, in complete contrast to the start.
  “Although Bertha Young was thirty she still had moments like this when she wanted to run instead of walk, to take dancing steps on and off the pavement, to bowl a hoop, to throw something up in the air and catch it again, or to stand still and laugh at - nothing - at nothing, simply.
  What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street, you are overcome, suddenly by a feeling of bliss - absolute bliss! - as though you'd suddenly swallowed a bright piece of that late afternoon sun and it burned in your bosom, sending out a little shower of sparks into every particle, into every finger and toe?”
  The little governess is another of the stories that will stay with me – an innocent young woman journeys by train to her new appointment, and meets a grandfatherly type of man who she naively fails to realise has other interests in her. I also rather loved the story Pictures, a sad little tale about a young woman contralto who can’t pay her rent and is trying to get a job as a singer or an actress. She and others like her dreaming of the big time, the realities of life coming much sharper.
  This collection has really piqued my interest in Katherine Mansfield – so I’m sure that I will be reading more of her work at some point.

  "Oh is there no way you can express it without being 'drunk and disorderly'? How idiotic civilization is! Why be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle?" - This is an excerpt from the most famous short story in this collection - Bliss.
  
  The excerpt is a great example of Mansfield's writing. It is expressive and immediately creates a picture in the reader's mind. Her writing reflects her sharp observations of societal norms.
  
  I bought this book randomly from a second hand bookshop. The lovely thing about going to second hand bookshops is that you never know what you'll find. I had never read Katherine Mansfield before and thought it's never a bad time to discover a new author. And I'm glad I picked this up. The stories here are funny, irreverent and sensitive all at once.
  
  I find that her writing style is quite unique. She doesn't build back stories. And it feels intentional. She writes about moments. Important moments that her characters experience. And it is that anecdote she is elaborating on in her short story - not what happened before nor where things are headed. It is the present that she focuses on, suspended in space and captured in moments.

  Perhaps I didn’t absolutely love or even understand the subtleties of every single story in this collection, but no matter: when we click, I feel Katherine Mansfield speaks directly to my soul. She certainly speaks to my mercurial self, who knows all too well the extremes of Utter Bliss and of Complete Despair.
  
  Definitely the kinds of short stories that are worth taking in slowly, one by one, and letting linger as I did, so I’m glad I took my time to finish this tiny and beautiful Bloomsbury Classics publication, one of several I’ve managed to collect. Now all that remains to do is to read everything she’s ever written in her abbreviated life, and everything everyone else has written about her that is worth reading. I’d put that in the long term projects category. One doesn’t like to rush such things.

  Have you felt bliss just because of the weather - a day flushed with just the right amount of sunshine, just the perfectly cool breeze, just just because?
  Have you felt bliss in watching a tree blossom and shed in your backyard - stunned by its beauty in every season?
  Have you felt bliss in coming back home?
  Have you felt the bliss of sudden realisations?
  
  I know I have!
  
  I have been enraptured out of a bad mood by good weather.
  I have had a tree to myself all my childhood, one that was always there, no matter the season or time of day, no matter who came and who left, it was there in my joys and jilts, it stood outside my bedroom window, not in my house, just a little distance away, and everytime I came home, it was there. Just the fact that it was there was enough for me, to know that somethings won’t change. And when I left home for college, and then returned for the holidays, it was still there until one time, it wasn’t. I know the despair I felt that day, I’m yet to reconcile with it.
  Coming back home has always been the greatest bliss of life, and sudden realisations, well, they can be blissful too.
  
  Happiness is bliss. Calm is bliss.
  Nature is bliss.
  
  Is ignorance bliss?
  Probably not. In my opinion, definitely not.
  
  Bliss, a short story by #KatherineMansfield, is absolute bliss. Read it, please!
  Oh, the other stories were good too, but nothing compares to Bliss!
  
  Overall: 3 stars!
  Bliss: 5 stars!

  I thought that this was a mixed bag.
  
  I had read other collections of short stories by this author, and enjoyed them immensely, but this book left me cold. In part I suspect this is down to me - my reading mood shifts constantly. Another Mansfield book awaits in my to read pile, perhaps I will fare better next time.
  
  A couple of the stories were a cut above the rest in my view
  
  Pictures - penniless resting singer seeks employment. Ultimately she takes the only job she can get
  
  The little governess - naive English governess is led astray in Munich

  Gente, mas que coisa linda. Sempre tive problemas em gostar de contos como gosto de romances e novelas, mas essa seleção da Mansfield é irretocável.

  Claudia Pastor

  En este bellísima edición que consta de nueve relatos, si se animan a leerla, encontrarán joyas increíbles, como Felicidad, La mosca (breve pero tremendoooo), La fiesta en el jardín, Vida de Ma Parker (agárrense bien el corazón, que se les puede romper 😔) y El canario.
  
  Los demás que no he mencionado como La casa de muñecas o La mujer del almacén también creo que los van a sorprender. No hay pierde con esta selección de cuentos 🥰

  Bu kitabı okuyunca anladım ki, hayatı asıl olarak durum öyküleri yansıtıyor. Sıradan insanların monotonlaşmış hayatlarından kesitlerden oluşan öyküler bazen öylesine vurucu bir değerdeydi ki, yazarın yaşadığı zamana rağmen insanın doğasını bu kadar iyi çözebilmesine hayret ettim.
  
  Katherine Mansfield'in bütün öykülerinin toplandığı kitapta öykülerin en uzunu 10 sayfayı geçmez. Kısa kısa kesitlerle sunuyor bize insanın içinde yaşadığı çelişkileri, acımasızlığı, kadınları sıkıştırıp bırakan zamanın ne kadar zor geçtiğini...
  
  Parasız kalmış bir opera sanatçısı, kocasına ilk başlarda aşık olan ama sonraları ondan iğrenen bir kadının gözlerini açtığı sabahların aynılığı, dışarıda hayat akıp giderken şapkacı dükkanında çalışan bir kızın gelen yakışıklı müşteriyle ilgili hayalleri, çocuğu ölmüş bir kadının bir anlık hissettikleri, aranan bir katili bulup ona acıyıp saklayan fakat sonra yeri bulunduğunda yakalanmasını büyük bir coşkuyla seyreden bir kadının o ikiyüzlülüğü. Bu öykü beni çok etkiledi. Önce çocuğa acıyıp saklıyor, sonra içinden "Yakalayın onu!" diye çığlıklar atıyor. İnsanın doğasını bundan daha güzel anlatan bir hikaye daha okumamıştım.
  
  Ve bunlar gibi onlarca kısa öykü. Bazen yaşadıklarınızı kelimelere döken bir yazarla karşılaşırsınız ve kendinizi yalnız hissetmezsiniz ya, bu kitapta onu yaşadım.
  
  İngiltere'de yaşadığı çağın ilerisinde olan kadınların yazar olduğunu düşünüyorum. Çünkü sokaklara çıkamıyorlardı. Oturup yazmaya karar verdiler. İngiliz Edebiyatı'nda mutlu bir kadın yazar bulmak neredeyse imkansız. Hep bir kalıba sokulmaya çalışılmış, yasaklarla boğulmuş ve aşkta mutluluğu yakalayamamış kadınların kalemlerinin izi var öykülerde.
  
  Yaşadığı dönemin sosyetik tabanıyla fena dalga geçen bir yazar. Ve bu yüzden kendini ne kadar yalnız hissettiği de apaçık.
  
  Sevdiğim ve saygı duyduğum kadın yazarlara bir tane daha eklendiği için mutluyum, İngiliz Edebiyatı'yla ilgilenen arkadaşların okuması gerektiğini düşünüyorum. Durum öyküleri okumaya devam edeceğim kesinlikle.

  Katherine Mansfield is a capturer of moments. The stories in this collection do not always have a plot and some of them seem at first glance vague and insignificant, but they all build up images and impressions so that the meaning is deeply felt. The picture on the front cover of this edition is apt: a woman putting on an earring in the mirror, her expression distant (what is she thinking?), a wash of bluey green filling the background.
  
  I liked the first story, Prelude, the best. A long short story - a novella almost - about a New Zealand family moving from the town to the country. Mansfield is a adept at writing from a child's point of view without being twee or sentimental - not always an easy thing.
  
  Some of the stories are quite prudish, which I was surprised about given Mansfield's private life. There are a lot of thwarted women and a lot of women punished for being foolish or stepping out of line - even if only briefly, even if completely innocently - of society's conventions. You could say that this is because of the mores of the time but remember that Jean Rhys' stories of London's seedy demi-monde were not far off. Perhaps it was a form of protection for herself.

  I'd never heard of Katherine Mansfield before getting this book in a lot of the Great Writers Library (dirt cheap, and commanding my reading over the next year or so). That is nothing less than a crime, as far as I'm concerned.
  Apparently, this woman is well-known in her home country of New Zealand and her last country-of-residence France (where she died of TB at 34), as well as most points between. It's small wonder to me, though, that a poorly educated American like myself was never introduced to her: she was a cool, independent, literate woman who wrote stories exploring the more tender sides of the human experience -- all things that fail to endear writers to the mass American audience.
  This book is a reprint of a collection from the '30s, containing a dozen or so tales of varying length and direction. Most of her stories here fail to follow any real narrative thread, but instead paint vivid (if often grim) pictures of emotional life at the time (the 1920s/30s mostly). What shocks more often than not is just how familiar the feelings of isolation, alienation and -- of course -- bliss sound reading them nearly 100 years later.
  I'll definitely be looking for more Mansfield, and I recommend her to anyone who's still reading this far!

  George

  3.5 stars. An interesting, engaging, well written collection of 14 short stories first published in 1920. I particularly liked ‘Je ne parle pas francais’. A gentleman witnesses a young couple’s turbulent relationship. I also enjoyed ‘A Dill Pickle’ where two people meet after six years. They are both in their thirties. They think about and talk of their relationship six years ago and how things have changed. The fourteen stories are not dramatic. They describe human behaviour and personal frailties.
• 
  Leslie

  4½ stars - I think I liked these stories even more than The Garden Party and Other Stories. Mansfield's use of color in her descriptions reminds me a bit of Willa Cather although her people are quite different. The title seems ironic since most of the stories described less than perfect relationships...

  Un audiolibro magnifico, che raccoglie tre racconti di Katherine Mansfield: Psicologia, Felicità e Un cetriolino all'aneto.
  In tutti e tre i racconti si esplorano approfonditamente le relazioni umane e in particolare le incomprensioni che praticamente sono la base di tutta la vita dei protagonisti di questo racconto. Le cose sembrano sempre, per un attimo, diverse da come sono in realtà: il risveglio è brusco, anche gli affetti più sinceri possono farci soffrire, soprattutto se mentiamo a noi stessi.
  L'attrice che legge i tre racconti è molto brava, anche se la sua voce non mi è piaciuta moltissimo. Invece ho adorato gli interludi pianistici che impreziosiscono la breve raccolta.
