The Top 10 Short Stories - Love

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author's brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted 'Top Tens' across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions - Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.In this volume our classic authors turn their pens to the immortal quest for love. What they find and what they reveal are, of course, illuminating, beguiling and the best of magical literature.01 - The Top 10 - Love - An Introduction02 - Araby by James Joyce03 - A Modern Lover - Part 1 by D H Lawrence04 - A Modern Lover - Part 2 by D H Lawrence05 - The Fullness of Life by Edith Wharton06 - About Love by Anton Chekhov07 - Mr and Mrs Dove by Katherine Mansfield08 - The Blizzard by Alexander Pushkin09 - On the Gull's Road by Willa Cather10 - Madame Rose Hanie by Khalil Gibran11 - The Gift of the Magi by O Henry12 - The Nightingale and the Rose by Oscar Wilde

Sad Love - Short Stories

Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. When love’s flaws begin to stretch and amplify then heartbreak must surely follow. Love requires not just yearning and devotion but commitment and protection of an ideal. When that crumbles love finds pain, being in love becomes more difficult. And what our literary greats share with us in this difficult volume brings that truth home.1 - Sad Love - Short Stories - An Introduction2 - The Lagoon by Joseph Conrad3 - The Rendezvous by Ivan Turgenev4 - Eveline by James Joyce5 - Mr and Mrs Dove by Katherine Mansfield6 - Two Little Soldiers by Guy de Maupassant7 - On the Gull's Road by Willa Cather8 - Pyramus & Thisbe by Ovid9 - About Love by Anton Chekhov10 - Desiree's Baby by Kate Chopin11 - The Canary by Katherine Mansfield12 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence13 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev14 - The Furnished Room by O Henry15 - A Dill Pickle by Katherine Mansfield16 - The Shaker Bridal by Nathaniel Hawthorne17 - Her Lover by Maxim Gorky18 - Mrs Pierrepoint by Amy Levy19 - The Nightingale and the Rose by Oscar Wilde20 - The Victory by Rabindranath Tagore21 - Since I Died by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps22 - The Jew by Ivan Turgenev23 - The Informer by Joseph Conrad24 - Life of Ma Parker by Katherine Mansfield25 - The Dead - Part 1 by James Joyce26 - The Dead - Part 2 by James Joyce

L’aloe

“È un aloe, Kezia” disse Linda. “Non fa mai fiori?” “Sì, bambina mia” disse la madre. Chinò la testa verso Kezia e, socchiudendo gli occhi, le sorrise: “Una volta ogni cento anni”.È dal desiderio di dar voce alla terra natale, la Nuova Zelanda, “una terra sconosciuta da far guizzare per un istante davanti agli occhi del Vecchio Mondo”, che tra il 1915 e il 1916 nasce L’aloe, che Katherine Mansfield chiamava “il mio romanzo” e dal quale avrebbe poi tratto uno dei suoi racconti più intensi, Preludio. Se l’autrice non fosse morta a 34 anni di tisi, quest’opera avrebbe dovuto svilupparsi in una narrazione composita, in cui far rivivere tutte le persone care, le case e i giardini luminosi dell’infanzia, ma anche le loro parti in ombra e le correnti segrete del desiderio. Attraverso una forma e una scrittura tersa, sobria e musicale, L’aloe si colloca tra gli esiti più alti dell’opera di Mansfield, quelli in cui il male di vivere è più dolorosamente tangibile.

The Katherine Mansfield BBC Radio Collection: Dramatisations and readings of selected stories

A landmark collection of BBC Radio productions of the works of Katherine Mansfield - plus bonus dramas and documentary One of the great Modernist authors, Katherine Mansfield was a short story virtuoso, redefining the genre with her subtle, powerfully perceptive tales. A prolific writer, she penned over 60 stories and several poetry collections before her death from TB in 1923, aged only 34. This outstanding collection opens with Radio 4's 2020 series And Other Stories: Katherine Mansfield. It comprises dramatisations of 'Marriage a la Mode', 'Something Childish But Very Natural', 'Bliss', 'Daughters of the Late Colonel', 'The Garden Party', 'Ma Parker' and 'Her First Ball', all starring Hattie Morahan, as well as readings of 'The Stranger', 'Miss Brill', 'A Cup of Tea', Poison' and 'The Doll's House', narrated by Hugh Bonneville, Barbara Flynn, Hattie Morahan and Blake Ritson. Morven Christie reads Mansfield's newly-discovered early short story 'Little Episodes', and selected stories from her first collection In A German Pension - 'Germans at Meat and Frau Fischer', 'The Sister of the Baroness', 'The Modern Soul', 'The Advanced Lady' and 'Frau Brechenmacher Attends a Wedding' - are dramatised with a cast including Claire Skinner, Eleanor Bron and Emma Cunniffe. Also included are eight of her lesser-known tales: 'A Dill Pickle' (read by Clare Corbett), 'Mr Reginald Peacock's Day' (read by Brian Gear), 'Sun and Moon' (read by Lin Sagovsky), 'Psychology' and 'Pictures' (read by Eileen Atkins), 'The Voyage' (read by Indira Varma), 'Honeymoon' (read by Emilia Fox) and 'The Fly' (read by Sam Dale). In addition, her evocative poem 'Winter Song' is read by Sir Derek Jacobi. Two original dramas explore moments in the life of the great author. Katie Hims' Luxembourg Gardens reimagines Katherine Mansfield's last day in Paris and stars Hattie Morahan, while Cherie Rogers' An Oddly Complete Understanding looks at Mansfield's friendship with Virginia Woolf and stars Rosalind Shanks and Penelope Wilton. The passionate correspondence between Katherine Mansfield and her husband John Middleton Murray is revealed in Darling Mouse, Precious Worm, read by Kerry Fox and Michael Maloney. And in Great Lives: Katherine Mansfield, Jacqueline Wilson assesses the impact of Mansfield's brilliant but tragically short career. Track listing: 1. Bliss 2. Something Childish But Very Natural 3.
