The Garden Party, and Other Stories version 2
Gelesen von Peter Dann
Katherine Mansfield
(5 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)
The imagination responsible for these remarkable stories, the third and final collection published in Mansfield's lifetime, is clearly living with one foot firmly planted in this life, even if her other is already reaching tentatively across a gloomy chasm to the next. Unsurprisingly, given the perilous state of the young author's health at the time Mansfield wrote them, many of these stories allude to that strange transformative process we call 'death'. And yet — and this is really quite a miracle — their net effect is actually extraordinarily uplifting. (Summary by Peter Dann) (5 hr 53 min)

A beautifully nuanced collection of stories that mix the mundane with the mysterious in a quite spellbinding way. And the readings by Peter Dann are characteristically first class - utterly sympathetic to the individual tone and tenor of each story.
