Forse il maggior pregio di queste poesie consiste proprio nell'immedesimazione mimetica con l'ambiente descritto, del quale viene imitato il lessico semplice e fiabesco, il tono innocente del fanciullo, il ritmo disinvolto della filastrocca e della storiella. Non bisognerà dunque ricercare preziosismi formali, ma tutto si regge su un quasi infantile - non per questo meno denso -pathos affettivo, che trae la sua linfa dalla nota portante dell'i...

A "The Garden Party" si affiancano altri cinque gioielli di grazia e leggerezza: "Qualcosa di infantile ma di molto spontaneo", "Miss Brill", "La casa delle bambole", "Veleno" e "Psicologia". In questi racconti Katherine Mansfield riesce non soltanto a cogliere l'essenza dei personaggi e dei rapporti tra loro, ma anche a descrivere i momenti rivelatori che James Joyce definiva "epifanie", i punti di svolta di una vicenda o di un'intera vita: p...

Ganz im Sinne der beginnenden Moderne entwickelte Katherine Mansfield ihren eigenen, nüchtern-objektiven Erzählstil, der ihr dichterischen Weltruhm einbrachte. "Rosabels Tagtraum", eine exklusive Auswahl aus ihrem Gesamtwerk, lädt ein, die Meisterin der kleinen Form wiederzuentdecken. Es war der kurze, oft alles entscheidende ...
