Synopsis

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.

    Some secrets were buried for a reason. Charlie Hudson just dug them up. 
    Charlie isn’t a hero. He’s not a genius, a spy, or the guy who saves the day. He’s just an ordinary investigator sent to check out a classified site beneath the Antarctic ice. The mission? Simple. Look for anomalies. Report back. Don’t ask questions. 
    Too bad he asks a lot of questions. 
    When Charlie and his team uncover a lost civilization hidden for thousands of years, history itself starts to unravel. The past is changing. The sky is cracking. And something out there already knows his name.

    Americans have long had a love affair with Provence: its glamour, its mystique, its foreignness. But never have they had a guide like Ken Timmerman. Bursting with humorous stories about local characters and vivid description of French landscapes and customs gleaned from thirty-five years in the country, Raising Olives in Provence tells the story of how the author improbably came to renovate a run-down house and raise olive trees in the hills above Saint-Tropez. From olive presses to truffle markets, from Templar hostelries to lunch at a beachside club with the king and queen of Sweden, Timmerman takes us to places and introduces us to people we would never find on our own. 
     
     
     
    In his other life as a war correspondent and investigative reporter, Timmerman deals with the horrors and betrayals of a world gone mad, always returning to this hillside in the south of France as a refuge. But even here, intrigue and treachery lie just beneath the surface, along with mysterious visitors on the hillside, an olive thief, phony artists and wannabe aristocrats, and the endless love adventures of his French neighbors. 
     
     
     
    Love, faith, marriage, and friendship—with a sprinkling of salt, thyme, and some olive oil, please! And don't forget the rosé.
