NOTES

In a German Pension captures the youthful views of esteemed writer, Katherine Mansfield, who jumpstarted her illustrious career with a series of remarkable short stories. It showcases her growth and scope as a formidable nineteenth century writer. A captivating collection of short stories centering the cynical and superficial parts of human nature. In one instance, an expectant father frets over his surroundings, while his wife gives birth. Another tale highlights a society woman's obsession with fashion and perception, while another woman is fixated on her husband's stomach. Each story presents a satirical view of German people and culture from the early 1900s. In a German Pension was a commercial success that quickly ran through multiple editions. It was an impressive starting point to an acclaimed career, filled with masterful modernist tales. This collection is a testament to Mansfield's unique voice and storytelling ability. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of In a German Pension is both modern and readable
