Katherine Mansfield's clear, sparkling and perceptive short stories revolutionized the genre, and this collection represents the whole range of her writing. Moving, resonant, full of light and colour, they range from short sharp studies to longer, richer tales, encompassing her three major volumes Bliss, The Garden Party and In a German Pension, and fifteen tantalizing fragments of unfinished stories published after her tragic death, including 'Honesty', an intriguing tale of two bachelors, and 'The Doves' Nest', an exquisite story of a widowed mother and her daughter in the Riviera who receive a mysterious gentleman caller. Graceful, delicate and quietly devastating, they observe apparently trivial incidents to create sensitive, often painful revelations of her characters' inner lives

They could not have had a more perfect day for a garden-party if they had ordered it. A windless, warm day greets the Sheridan family on the day of their garden party. As daughter Laura takes the reins on party preparations the news of a neighbour's demise casts a cloud over the host and threatens the entire celebration.

Рассказы Кэтрин Мэнсфилд — возможно, лучшее из того, что происходило в английской новеллистике начала 1920-х годов. В ее удивительно глубокой и откровенной, эмоционально насыщенной прозе нашли свое отражение и трагические события ее жизни, совсем недолгой, и светлые воспоминания детства, и драматические противоречия той эпохи • Пять новелл, составившие данный сборник, помогают получить представление о многогранности таланта писательницы. Некоторые из произведений публикуются на русском языке впервые • Новеллы адаптированы по методу Ильи Франка: снабжены дословным переводом на русский язык и необходимым лексико-грамматическим комментарием (без упрощения текста оригинала).
