Part of the Modern Voices series
See all formats and editions

Written shortly after Mansfield visited Germany as a young woman, these short stories form a series of satirical sketches of German characters.

From a young wife's preoccupation with her husband's stomach, to a society lady's inability to see beyond the latest fashion, Mansfield depicts everyday events and the minute changes of human behaviour in the most exquisite detail.

In a German Pension reveals her as a true disciple of Chekhov.
