MANSFIELD, K.: Bliss and Other Stories (Unabridged)

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.

  • Set includes a total of six short stories
  • Bliss remains relevant to contemporary audiences
  • Juliet Stevenson’s vocal talents bring the story vividly to life
  • Approximate running time 2.5 hours
