Sinossi

The Complete Short Stories of Katherine Mansfield encompasses the intricate tapestry of human emotion, relationships, and existential musings that reflect the complexity of early 20th-century life. Mansfield's literary style is distinguished by its modernist approach, characterized by vivid imagery, acute psychological insight, and a striking use of stream-of-consciousness techniques. The stories, ranging from the poignant 'The Garden Party' to the haunting 'Miss Brill,' reveal the subtleties of social conventions and the inner worlds of her characters, painted against the backdrop of post-war society grappling with change and uncertainty. Katherine Mansfield, a New Zealander who became a prominent figure in the Bloomsbury Group in London, was influenced by her own experiences of displacement and transformation. Her keen observations of daily life and profound empathy for the human condition stem from her varied travels and her tumultuous personal life, including her tumultuous relationships and struggles with health. Mansfield's commitment to exploring the lives of women and their societal roles is evident throughout her work, marking her significance in feminist literature and modernist writing. Readers seeking a deeply introspective and finely crafted exploration of life's ephemeral moments will find great reward in Mansfield's Complete Short Stories. This collection not only serves as a testament to her literary genius but also invites reflection on the universal themes of identity, love, and loss, making it an essential read for lovers of modernist literature.

    In this powerful debut, Rebecca Dimyan details her experience with endometriosis, a chronic disease which effects one in ten women worldwide. This painful condition takes an average of seven years to be diagnosed and has no proven cure. Most women will undergo multiple surgeries, take countless painkillers and other drugs, and will still endure regular pain and other complications. With honesty, vulnerability, and sometimes humor, Dimyan explores the ways the condition has impacted her experiences, her body, her pain, and her joy. She takes her audience on an emotional journey through her teenage years, early twenties, and into her thirties as she becomes a professional woman, wife, and mother. Dimyan blends research, anecdotes, and advice as she shares the relief she's found through alternative treatments and holistic medicine. Chronic isn't just a story about one woman's illness—it is a memoir about all the pain, pleasure, heartbreak, friendship, love, and hope she experiences on her path to healing.

    My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
    
    Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
    
    Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
    
    The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
    
    The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.
