短篇小说就像是一张张照片,抓住人们生活中的某一瞬间并将这一记忆永久封存。这些敏锐而又优雅的故事给我们展示的是平凡的生活,以及构成平凡人生活的琐碎而又微不足道的小事情。其中所括一次园会和一起死亡事件,一次拼命找工作的经历,一次孤独的跨越欧洲的火车旅行,与一位身藏危险秘密的女人的相遇。还有不近人情的孩子们,年轻姑娘第一次参加舞会时的感受,女主人的贴身女仆的想法,以及新西兰偏僻农场中的一个女人的故事。我们从巴黎一位艺术家的画室开始我们的故事……
Short stories can be like photographs, catching people at some moment in their lives and trapping the memory for ever. These sensitive and delicate stories give us pictures of ordinary people, and of the samll, unimportant events that shape their lves. There is a garden party and a death, a desperate search for work, a journey alone across Europe by train, a meeting with a woman who has a dangerous secret. There are children being cruel, the feelings of a young girl at her first dance, the thoughts of a lady's maid, and of a woman on a lonely farm in New Zealand.

原著出版于1922年,包含了谢太太一位穷苦的近邻由于偶然的事故不幸身亡,遗属正伤心落泪,悲恸欲绝,而她却在园中奏乐娱乐,大宴宾客等几个故事。小说从侧面反映了阶级对立和贫富悬殊的情况。在艺术上,作者深受契诃夫的影响,不设奇局,不求情节的离奇曲折,注重从看似平淡无奇的小处去发掘人物情感的变化,在客观叙述中流露出对不合理社会的抗议。作品色彩鲜明,文笔简洁而流畅,富有诗意。
The Garden Party: and Other Stories is a 1922 collection of short stories by author Katherine Mansfield. The themes of the novels range from life, death and marriage to distorted reality, regret, duty and gender.
