Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Marilyn Monroe: "...und schließlich einen Weg findet..."

Die Begegnung fand an diesem Bahnhof statt, von dessen Existenz jeder weiß, den aber niemand genau beschreiben kann. Bis auf die Tatsache, dass es weder die obligatorische Bahnhofsuhr noch die Tafel mit den Ankunfts- und Abfahrzeiten gibt und keinen Verweis auf Bahnsteige, Wirtschaften, Kioskstraßen, nur auf verschiedene Vortragssäle, bleibt das Bild der unergründlich großen Wartehallen diffus. Über die Wartenden, vom Neugeborenen bis zum Greis, sagt man, dass ihr Erscheinen mit unterschiedlichsten Konturen gezeichnet ist. Manche tragen einen Schein, andere dünne oder dicke Konturen, es gibt fast durchsichtige und bunt ausgemalte, amorphe und wie aus Stein gehauene. Dazwischen bewegen sich Herrschaften mit weißen Mänteln, Notizbüchern und nie zu Ende geschriebenen Stiften. Eine Art Kontrolleure aus einem Statistik- oder Meinungsforschungsinstitut. Es ist ferner bekannt, dass manche Aufzeichnungen der Kontrolleure, aus welchen Gründen auch immer, nicht den vorbestimmten Kontor erreichen, sondern verschlungene Wege nach außen finden.

Suzanne Valadon: "Löse mich in dir auf Fremder"

Paris, Sommer 1893. Lange nach Mitternacht. Es war ein heißer, schwüler Tag, und selbst jetzt noch bildet die Feuchtigkeit Perlen auf den Wimpern der Nachtschwärmer. Im "La Nouvelle Athenes" sind nur noch wenige Tische besetzt. Abseits sitzt ein junger Mann. Schmales Gesicht, gerade Stirn, über die sein langes, rötlich-blondes Haar streift. Geschwungene Lippen. Verwundbare Augen. Er blickt verloren auf seine Hände, die auf dem überschlagenen Bein liegen. Er trägt eine helle Hose mit grauen Streifen. Am Tisch steht ein leeres und ein volles Glas Absinth. Man könnte glauben, ein Achtzehnjähriger träumt hier. Er hatte heute seinen sechsundzwanzigsten Geburtstag.

Members Reviews:

Germans Stereotyped

Enjoyable but not her best writing. Interesting for anyone interested in the German people, althought they are too often turned into stereotypes.

Not to be taken too seriously

This collection of short pieces shows early signs of Mansfield's talents, particularly her sense of the absurd and ability to skewer pretensions, but also shows how much she was to develop as an author. Here, she relies too heavily here on stereotypes (the self-absorbed actress, the pompous German) and on painting with too broad a brush.

That said, these stories are amusing in their own right, though definitely not the great short stories she would later write.

Thoughtful and descriptive prose

Within the stories of this collection, which the author considered "immature," there is some great descriptive prose around German characteristics and perspective which can even be said to live on in present Germany. Most impressive is Mansfield's gift in rummaging about in the German psyche. While some of the stories may seem melodramatic, e.g., "The Child-Who-Was-Tired," there are some very entertaining moments in which the author thoughtfully pulls out themes that include sycophancy, overbearance, resignation, mediocrity, selfishness, vanity, truculence, and compunction. For those who love German history and German culture, this is an essential volume.

Prelude to Conflict

New Zealander Katherine Mansfield (nee Kathleen Beauchamp), one of the key modernist authors linked to the so-called Bloomsbury set, said of this, her first commercially published work: 'It was a bad book, but the press was kind to it.'

Well, maybe it's not as bad as she says - and certainly it's a must-have for anyone who's interested in her work - but, when you get right down to it, this is a bunch of stories, the theme of each one of which is "All Germans are stupid and the first person singular Anglophile narrator (Miss Mansfield) is a wonderfully civilised smart ass for pointing it out!"

Well, okay if you say so, Miss Mansfield . . . I don't think! And neither do you, I suspect - not in your literary heart of hearts. Because it's the original date of publication of the book which gives us a clue regarding the kindness that was shown to it by the press: 1912 - just two years before WWI broke out, thanks in part to press jingoism . . . and to anti-German propaganda in bad books like this one.

Ruth and Alice DeVere and their father Hosmer struggle to make ends meet in New York City - times are hard, even for a talented actor like Mr. DeVere.

Despite voice rest and medical treatment, Mr. DeVere's voice fails to improve, and it is impossible to find theatre work.

A friend and neighbour in their apartment building suggests that Mr. DeVere tries acting in the moving pictures (which being silent, would not need him to speak at all) but Mr. DeVere considers that business to be common and cheap. However, when they receive an eviction notice, and local shops refuse to extend credit, Mr. DeVere may have no choice... and where he goes, his daughters will follow.

Great help.

I've had a hard time finding book originally written in English and translated into Danish. This will be a big help in learning to read in Danish.
