At the Bay (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161422597)

""At The Bay"" is a collection of short stories written by Katherine Mansfield. The book contains thirteen stories that are set in and around the seaside town of Wellington, New Zealand. Mansfield's writing style is known for its vivid descriptions and nuanced characterizations. The stories in this collection explore themes of love, loss, family, and the complexities of human relationships. The characters in the book are often struggling with their own desires and emotions, and the stories capture the everyday experiences of ordinary people. Mansfield's writing is both poetic and insightful, and her stories are considered some of the finest examples of modernist literature. ""At The Bay"" is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships and the beauty of everyday life.Well, she was married to him. And what was more she loved him. Not the Stanley whom everyone saw, not the everyday one; but a timid, sensitive, innocent Stanley who knelt down every night to say his prayers, and who longed to be good. Stanley was simple. If he believed in people�����as he believed in her, for instance�����it was with his whole heart. He could not be disloyal; he could not tell a lie. And how terribly he suffered if he thought anyone�����she�����was not being dead straight, dead sincere with him! ""This is too subtle for me!"" He flung out the words, but his open quivering, distraught look was like the look of a trapped beast.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
