The Yellow Wall-Paper-42
von Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Product Description 'The color is hideous enough, and unreliable enough, and infuriating enough, but the pattern is torturing.' Written with barely controlled fury after she was confined to her room for 'nerves' and forbidden to write, Gilman's pioneering feminist horror story scandalized nineteenth-century readers with its portrayal of a woman who loses her mind because she has literally nothing to do. Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935). Gilman's work is available in Penguin Classics in The Yellow Wall-Paper, Herland and Selected Writings. About the Author Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935).

Rezension von Hannah The Yellow Wallpaper, meine liebste Kurzgeschichte 💌 The Yellow Wallpaper: Ich hab die Kurzgeschichte zum zweiten Mal gelesen und wahrscheinlich noch mehr geliebt, als beim ersten Lesen. Die Themen, die Metaphern, der Schreibstil – ich liebe alles daran. In dieser kurzen Geschichte steckt so unglaublich viel. The Rocking Chair: Auch diese Kurzgeschichte hat mir erstaunlich gefallen, würde aber bei dieser kleinen Sammlung den letzten Platz bekommen. Old Water: Auch hier habe ich Schreibstil und Inhalt total geliebt. Und auch wenn ich das Ende sehr schnell vorausgesehen habe, hat mir diese Kurzgeschichte sehr gefallen. Wer also Lust auf feministische Kurzgeschichten hat, sollte dieses Buch lesen. Es lohnt sich!!
Rezension von johannaReally good, had a great time reading it. Was able to understand the storyline and the moral of the story. Would absolutely recommend. Quotes: The yellow wall-paper: „It is dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate and provoke study, and when you follow the lame uncertain curves for a little distance they commit suicide - plunge off at outrageous angles, destroy themselves in unheard of contradictions.“ „You think you have mastered it but just as you get well underway in following, it turns a back-somersault and there you are. It slaps you in the face, knocks you down, and takes upon you.” The rocking chair: “He had gone, I knew not where, and if he hadn’t to his death and a word of mine would have stopped him, I would not have said it.” Old water: “Then he poured out his heart to her. He told her how he loved her - madly, passionately, irresistably. He begged her to listen to him.” “It’s pretty lucky I could swim […] and he couldn’t. The poor man! O, the poor man! He must have been crazy!”
