Krátky popis
Catherine Wells (1872–1927) was the wife of H.G. Wells and the
author of short stories, poems and an unfinished novella, The Open
Heart, a haunting study of a woman’s sense of unfulfilment that
adds significantly to our knowledge of early 20th-century feminism.
Published here for the first time, The Open Heart is brought
together with her stories and poems that appeared in The Book of
Catherine Wells (1928).The Open Heart tells of a woman’s shipwreck
on a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean, a kind of earthly
paradise in which she finds herself entirely alone. Included, too,
in this collection are Catherine Wells' highly accomplished tales
of forbidden love, of a woman’s subjection to a dominant and
possessive husband and of female despair. These stories illustrate
what H.G.Wells called ‘her brooding tenderness’, her ‘sense of
invincible fatality’ and her ‘predisposition towards a haunting,
dreamland fantasy of fear’. The Flame Tree Beyond and Within short
story collections bring together tales of myth and imagination by
modern and contemporary writers, carefully selected by
anthologists, and sometimes featuring short stories from a single
author. Overall, the series presents a wide range of diverse and
inclusive voices with myth, folkloric-inflected short fiction, and
an emphasis on the supernatural, science fiction, the mysterious
and the speculative.
