Beschreibung

In a German Pension, Katherine Mansfield's debut collection of short stories, delves into the complexities of human emotions and social dynamics within a German boarding house. Written in the early 1910s, Mansfield employs a modernist style characterized by impressionistic prose and a keen attention to the nuances of character interactions. Her narrative techniques reveal the subtleties of everyday life, with a structure that defies traditional storytelling, allowing themes of isolation, identity, and cultural contrast to emerge through vibrant imagery and sharp dialogue. Mansfield's keen observation of her surroundings, combining humor with poignant moments, situates the work in the literary context of modernism, where the breakdown of Victorian norms created fertile ground for exploring the inner workings of the self in relation to the societal tapestry. Katherine Mansfield, a prominent modernist writer, was deeply influenced by her expatriate experiences and her own introspections regarding identity and difference. Born in New Zealand, her travels across Europe, especially her time spent in Germany, informed her writing and provided her with a rich backdrop of characters and scenarios. Through her keen awareness of the shifting cultural landscapes and her own struggles with self-expression, Mansfield's artistry shines in this collection, revealing her ability to capture the subtleties of human relationships and societal mores. In a German Pension is a profound exploration of human behavior that invites readers to contemplate the intricate dance of societal interactions and personal revelations. For those interested in modernist literature, Mansfield's work serves as an essential study of the individual against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world. This collection not only showcases her unique narrative voice but also encourages readers to reflect on their own experiences with culture and identity.

    Written by the hosts of the wildly popular Deck the Hallmark podcast! 
    Welcome to Greenville, Maine, where all the shop windows are festively decorated, the street lights are magically transformed into candy canes, and the air sounds and smells like the North Pole on Christmas morning.  
    Ellie Holden is back in her hometown of Greenville and surrounded by familiar faces and her favorite traditions. Well, most of them. She’s had a few rocky years, but she’s being her cheerful, helpful self, even if it means pressing pause on the dreams she once chased so passionately.  
    Meanwhile, a few hundred miles away, Josh Hanson is up to his eyeballs in spreadsheets and portfolio analyses, just the way he likes it. He hasn’t visited his Aunt Ruth in Greenville in way too long, and he hasn’t spoken to Ellie since he let their summer romance fizzle out more than ten years ago. But that is all about to change.  
    This is not your typical “boy meets girl in an idyllic Christmas town, they fall in love, but then lose touch only to then reunite under a sad, but surprisingly hopeful set of circumstances in order to complete a fulfilling holiday assignment that could bring the two closer together than ever, ultimately helping both find the meaning they had been searching for in life and in love.” Nope, that's not what this is. (That's what we're telling Grumpy Dan, anyway.) 
    Fans of the Deck the Hallmark podcast should love this story, and other people might enjoy it, too.

    Art, a 29 year old scuba rep from Indiana, is floating through life, rudderless and apathetic. One day, when he leaves work in order to avoid an office birthday party, he stumbles across a sign for Mystery Mike’s Bookstore. What was first mere curiosity grows into an obsession when threatening notes and mind warping illusions prevent Art from finding the damn place. 
      
     Art impulsively disregards his responsibilities at work and home to get to the bottom of the mystical bookstore. He soon teams up with Lenny, a Middle-aged Granite State Schlub and his celebrity dog, Schubert, who were former clients of the store before being shut off from access right when they needed it most.  
      
    Schubert is dying and Lenny is desperate to keep him alive. Lenny is also wracked with guilt that Schubert's illness might be a side effect of the training knowledge obtained from Mystery Mike's. During their search, the team encounters some peculiar people, including a brash cult leader, a ventriloquist couple with a supernatural secret, and angelic super race of humans with ulterior motives. Some will become friends, some will become enemies, but everyone seems to be in it for themselves. What are they willing to do to solve their problems and possibly save all of humanity to boot?

    In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it… 
     
    There was no doubt that things had definitely looked better for Gabriel Atwood, one time Viscount Northwood. Mainly because everyone who knew him or of him almost certainly believed him dead - the bastard who’d betrayed him had made sure of that. His only hope was to seek aid from Nicholas Sinclair, his former mentor, now the current Duke of Blackmore, before his enemies realised that news of his demise had been greatly exaggerated. Unfortunately, on finally reaching the Duke’s estate late on Christmas eve, Atwood discovered the house shrouded in darkness and realised with despair that his grace had undoubtedly chosen to spend the Christmas season elsewhere. 
     
    Hope Shackleford did not relish spending the festive season under the same roof as her entire family, even though the roof beneath which the gathering was to take place belonged to the Earl of Ravenstone and was far grander than the modest vicarage in which she’d spent her whole life. Indeed, given that her two eldest sisters were married to influential members of the ton, it had to be said that her family were becoming increasingly accustomed to indulgences entirely above their station. 
    Hope on the other hand, despite possessing a head of flaming red hair giving indication to the contrary, was a practical young woman who eschewed both whimsy and optimism, unlike the rest of her eccentric family - in particular her father whose calling as a man of the cloth seemed in recent years to play a secondary role to his passion for meddling in affairs that in Hope’s view were entirely none of his business. Thus, the chances of their Christmas festivities being wholly focused on the simple joys of the season were, in Hope’s opinion, slim to none. 
     
    After the unexpected appearance of a handsome vagrant who was clearly more than he seemed, Hope had no idea just how correct her misgivings would turn out to be… 
     
    Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam.
