Selected Stories - Katherine Mansfield
I was jealous of her writing. The only writing I have ever been jealous of. Virginia WoolfVirginia Woolf was not the only writer to admire Mansfield s work: Thomas Hardy, D. H. Lawrence, and Elizabeth Bowen all praised her stories, and her early death at the age of thirty-four cut short one of the finest short-story writers in the English language.This selection covers the full range of Mansfield s fiction, from her early satirical stories to the subtly nuanced comedy of The Daughters of the Late Colonel and the macabre and ominous A Married Man s Story . The stories that pay what Mansfield calls a debt of love to New Zealand are as sharply etched as the European stories, and she recreates her childhood world with mordant insight. Disruption is a constant theme, whether the tone is comic, tragic, nostalgic, or domestic, echoing Mansfield s disrupted life and the fractured expressions of Modernism.This new edition increases the selection from 27 to 33 stories and prints them in the order in which they first appeared, in the definitive texts established by Anthony Alpers. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

During her uncle s absence in Antigua, the Crawford s arrive in the neighbourhood bringing with them the glamour of London life and a reckless taste for flirtation.

Mansfield Park - Jane Austenová
Chiltern creates the most beautiful editions of the WorldÂ’s finest literature. Your favourite classic titles in a way you have never seen them before ; the tactile layers, fine details and beautiful colours of these remarkable covers make these titles feel extra special and will look striking on any shelf. This book has matching lined and blank journals (sold separately). They make a great gift when paired together but are also just as beautiful on their own. Mansfield Park By Jane Austen tells the story of Fanny Price, a frail, quiet young woman who has none of the high spirits or wit of Elizabeth Bennet or Marianne Dashwood. Reared from the age of ten among wealthy relatives, Fanny is an unobtrusive presence in the household at Mansfield Park, useful and agreeable to everyone and steadfast in her secret affection for her cousin, Edmund Bertram. FannyÂ’s manner contrasts sharply with the livelier, sometimes careless behavior of her cousins and their friends. Only Edmund spends time with the gentle Fanny, although his own affections have been captivated by the sophisticated Mary Crawford. With FannyÂ’s uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, away on an extended stay in the West Indies, the cousins and their friends decide to put on an amateur theatrical production of a scandalous French play. Only Fanny refuses to participate, out of natural modesty and a certainty that her absent uncle would not approve. Sir Thomas returns unexpectedly and does not approve, much to his childrenÂ’s chagrin, but Fanny quickly falls from his favor when she refuses the proposal of Mary CrawfordÂ’s brother, Henry, who had begun an unwelcome flirtation with her after FannyÂ’s cousin Maria married another man. Distressed by her uncleÂ’s disapproval, Fanny visits her parents and her eight brothers and sisters, only to discover that her years at Mansfield Park have left her unable to fit easily into her noisy, often vulgar family. She is summoned back by Sir Thomas when Maria leaves her husband for Henry Crawford and MariaÂ’s sister, Julia, elopes. Now fully appreciated by her uncle, Fanny comes into her own, winning the love of Edmund Bertram.

A windswept tale, beautifully told Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path A manifesto for the value of difficult people. I loved it Amy Liptrot, author of The OutrunIn August 2015, Katherine May set out to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path. She wanted to understand why she had stopped coping with everyday life; why motherhood had been so overwhelming and isolating, and why the world felt full of inundation and expectations she can t meet. Setting her feet down on the rugged and difficult path by the sea, the answer begins to unfold.The Electricity of Every Living Thing tells the story of the year in which Katherine comes to terms with a diagnosis which shakes her to her core. It leads to a re-evaluation of her life so far - a kinder one, which finally allows her to be different rather than simply awkward, arrogant or unfeeling. The physical and psychological journeys become inextricably entwined, and as Katherine finds her way across the untameable coast, she also finds the way to herself.What readers are saying about The Electricity of Every Living Thing: Honest and sensitive The astonishing sensitivity and awareness in her writing, both about the beautiful landscapes and nature around on her walks, and in relation to her family, friends and self put paid to many outdated myths about what it is like to be autistic Compelling and transformative.

Still, she lived her life with her father’s words in mind: “You are no better than anyone else, and nobody else is better than you.” In the early 1950s, Katherine was thrilled to join the organization that would become NASA. She worked on many of NASA’s biggest projects including the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first men on the moon. Katherine Johnson’s story was made famous in the bestselling book and Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures. Now in Reaching for the Moon she tells her own story for the first time, in a lively autobiography that will inspire young readers everywhere.

Statistiky jsou však bohužel neúprosné: mnozí z nás zažijí bolest rozchodu s životním partnerem. Musí však být rozpad vztahu nutně traumatický? A co je tedy nejlepší dělat, když pohádka končí?I když se snažíme rozejít civilizovaně a přátelsky, málokdy se podaří překonat biologické nastavení mozku, který ukončení vztahu vnímá jako ohrožení života a vysílá nám signál k boji. Navzdory tomu se terapeutka Katherine Woodward Thomasová a její manžel zvládli rozvést ohleduplně a s respektem a zachovali si vzájemné přátelství. Na základě této osobní zkušenosti a dlouholeté práce s klienty pak Katherine vypracovala metodu vědomého rozchodu. Díky ní dokážete projít stresující životní etapou bez hlubokých psychických šrámů či nenávisti a probudit nikoli to nejhorší, ale to nejlepší, co ve vás je. Ať už ve dvou, nebo sami, přijměte pomoc v podobě této knihy a zjistěte: – Jak hluboce vás mohou ovlivňovat rozchody staré třeba deset či dvacet let. – Proč je třeba jít ke kořenům a najít své prvotní zranění. – Jak pojmenovat své emoce a chovat se racionálně. – Jak získat zpět vnitřní sílu a uzdravit své zlomené srdce. – Jak najít správnou míru férovosti při dělení majetku. – Jak komunikovat s druhým a zachovat si vlastní důstojnost.

Žije v americkém Los Angeles. „Cílem rozchodu není nutně dosažení spravedlnosti, získání odškodnění či potvrzení, že jsme měli pravdu. Cílem je osvobodit se a jít dál. Získat sílu vybudovat nový a šťastný život prosebe i pro ty, na nichž nám záleží.“ Více o knize http://www.melvil.cz/rozchazeni Sdílejte s hashtagem #rozchazeni

Mansfield Park - Jane Austenová
Introduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex. Adultery is not a typical Jane Austen theme, but when it disturbs the relatively peaceful household at Mansfield Park, it has quite unexpected results. The diffident and much put-upon heroine Fanny Price has to struggle to cope with the results, re-examining her own feelings while enduring the cheerful amorality, old-fashioned indifference and priggish disapproval of those around her.
