Mansfield Katherine

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

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.

Flowers of War

Llŷr Gwyn Lewis

When the author is given a small package, containing letters and papers relating to his grandfather's brother, who was killed in Syria during the Second World War, it leads him on an extended personal journey. An exploration of history, imagination and the process of memory, shifting imperceptibly from autobiography to travelogue, from letters and diaries to official records, from text to visual image.

In his first prose work Lewis reveals a rare and consummate literary talent. Deeply rooted in his Welsh identity, this young writer locates his own and his family's experience within the wider European world in a thoughtful, mature and highly original book.

Flowers of War is a translation of Rhyw Flodau Rhyfel (Y Lolfa, 2014), which won the Creative Non-Fiction category in the 2015 Wales Book of the Year award.

The Pilgrim's Regress

C. S. Lewis

The Pilgrim's Regress is a book of allegorical fiction by C. S. Lewis. This 1933 novel was Lewis's first published work of prose fiction, and his third piece of work to be published and first after he converted to Christianity. It charts the progress of a fictional character named John through a philosophical landscape in search of the Island of his desire. Lewis described the novel to his publisher as "a kind of Bunyan up to date," in reference to John Bunyan's 1678 novel The Pilgrim's Progress, recast with the politics, ideologies, philosophy, and aesthetic principles of the early 20th century. As such, the character struggles with the modern phoniness, hypocrisy, and intellectual vacancy of the Christian church, Communism, Fascism, and various philosophical and artistic movements.

Anne Bradstreet - A Biography of...

D.B. Kellogg

Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience 
  
When she arrived in the New World at eighteen, Anne Bradstreet was a reluctant passenger: 
her old, comfortable lifestyle in England was quickly dashed against the rocks of the Massachusetts 
Bay. While the wilderness of America and the drama of establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony at times overwhelmed her, she always took refuge in the belief that it was God’s plan.  Anne respected the Puritan teachings and followed them her entire life, always searching for God’s hand in everything around her. But she also was inspired by a strong female leader of the day, Queen Elizabeth, and 
this influence taught Anne to push herself beyond the day’s limitations. She managed her home, educated her children, encouraged her husband, and sought her Lord—all with a poet’s heart.
