Bliss and other stories

See all formats and editions

One of Katherine Mansfield's finest short stories, "Bliss", introduces us to Bertha, who experiences a sense of rapture as she reflects on her life.

On her walk home one day, she is overwhelmed by a sense of bliss and contentment.

However, her joy later turns to disappointment as she discovers her husband is having an affair with her new friend Pearl.

Katherine Mansfield became well-known for her focus on psychological conflicts and complex characters; and Bliss displays these qualities brilliantly, exploring themes of marriage, adultery and duplicity.

This set also contains five other short stories by Katherine Mansfield: "Mr. Reginald Peacock's Day", "Pictures", "The Little Governess", "Feuille D'Album" and "A Dill Pickle".
