Los últimos cuentos de una escritora a quien Virginia Woolf calificó como la única de quien sintió envidia literaria.Publicado en 1923, apenas unos meses después de la muerte de Katherine Mansfield por tuberculosis a los treinta y cuatro años, El nido de las palomas y otros cuentos reúne el fruto final de uno de los talentos más luminosos de la historia del relato breve. Compilado por su marido, el crítico John Middleton Murry, el volumen reune seis cuentos terminados —entre ellos los célebres «La casa de muñecas», «Una taza de té», «La mosca» y «El canario»— junto a una notable serie de fragmentos inacabados que ofrecen una mirada íntima y conmovedora al taller de una escritora en plena madurez.El arte de Mansfield es preciso y lleno de emoción: la crueldad de una niña en la escuela, la pequeña humillación de una esposa, un anciano aplastado por un dolor que no sabe nombrar.Nacida en Wellington, Nueva Zelanda, y figura central del círculo modernista de Londres, Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923) escribió con una prosa comparada a pinceladas: ligera, precisa, luminosa. Influida por Chéjov y admirada por Thomas Hardy, D. H. Lawrence y Elizabeth Bowen, transformó el cuento en un instrumento de sutileza psicológica, capaz de capturar vidas enteras en un puñado de páginas.Esta colección póstuma es a la vez una introducción esencial a su obra y una despedida emotiva de una escritora que murió demasiado pronto. 10
