Book Description
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Sheridans are a wealthy family who live happily in their mansion and keep their children away from the working-class neighborhood located too close to home, just down the hill on which their fabulous home reigns. The morning when Laura, the oldest daughter of the Sheridan couple, is preparing their first garden party, she thinks she is lucky because the day has dawned splendid and the band will be able to play without problems outside the canopy. The busy cook, her half-dressed and unbrushed sisters, her mother ordering lilacs by surprise, the voices of the workers installing the awning in the garden... Everything seems perfect. Until one of the maids informs the Sheridans that one of the workers has died nearby in an unfortunate accident.Laura believes that they should suspend the party, out of respect for the widow and the five children that the deceased has left and who live just a short walk from the Sheridan mansion. But her little sisters laugh at its occurrence and her mother does not understand what such nonsense comes from.Katherine Mansfield (Wellington, New Zealand, October 14, 1888 - Fontainebleau, France, January 9, 1923).

Book Description
Innovative, startlingly perceptive and aglow with colour, these fifteen stories were written towards the end of Katherine Mansfield's tragically short life. Many are set in the author's native New Zealand, others in England and the French Riviera. All are revelations of the unspoken, half-understood emotions that make up everyday experience - from the blackly comic 'The Daughters of the Late Colonel', and the short, sharp sketch 'Miss Brill', in which a lonely woman's precarious sense of self is brutally destroyed, to the vivid impressionistic evocation of family life in 'At the Bay'. 'All that I write,' Mansfield said, 'all that I am - is on the borders of the sea. It is a kind of playing.' For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
