Paperback. Condition: New. Day's End and Other Stories, H. E. Bates's first short story collection published in 1928 when he was just 23, depicts the rural lives of quirky characters cast in his distinctive, beautifully drawn style. Each story has a youthful quality, intimate and often profound, perfectly demonstrating the progression of this masterful wordsmith. Bates explores bittersweet young love in 'The Birthday', the delightful reflections of a man spellbound by the sounds of the sea and the breathing of his new baby in 'The Holiday', and two old friends in 'Fishing', described by David Garnett as a tale that "could hardly be shorter and could hardly be slighter, but it is a complete and perfect little work of art, full of humour and containing a profound reflection on human life." This edition of Day's End and Other Stories, published by Bloomsbury Reader to celebrate H. E. Bates's 110th birthday anniversary, is enhanced with a bonus story - In View of the Fact That - a rare gem previously published in a small pamphlet in 1927, and never reproduced. …

Octavo, pp. [1-6] 7 [8-10] 11-286 [287-288: blank] [note: last leaf is a blank], original green and orange mottled cloth, spine panel stamped in gold, publisher's device blind stamped on rear panel, bottom edges rough-trimmed. First edition. The author's first collection of short fiction, gathering twenty-five short stories. Bates' stories appeared frequently in Edward J. O'Brien's annual anthology series, BEST BRITISH SHORT STORIES. The prolific Bates was primarily a writer of short stories and in this field he was highly regarded by David Garnett and Graham Greene, among others. His style has been traced to the influence of Conrad (and thus of Henry James) and Stephen Crane, but his subject matter is definitely British, concentrating on the lives and tragedies of rural workers, occasionally touching on the theme of madness. See Kunitz and Haycraft, Twentieth Century Authors, pp. 85-6. NCBEL IV 520. Gawsworth, Ten Contemporaries II, p. 26. Faint offsetting on pages 32-33 from an old clipping once laid-in, else a fine copy. (#128183).…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Days End, and Other Stories' is an evocative collection of short fiction that highlights the mastery of H.E. Bates in capturing the intricacies of rural English life. In this early work, Bates presents a series of narratives that delve into the quiet lives of country folk, exploring themes of loneliness, desire, and the cyclical nature of existence. Each story is crafted with a meticulous attention to atmosphere and a deep empathy for its characters, ranging from the weathered laborer to the isolated youth. The collection is notable for its lyrical, descriptive prose and its ability to elevate the mundane into the profound. Bates' affinity for the natural world is evident throughout, as the landscape of the English countryside serves as more than just a setting; it acts as a silent witness to the human dramas unfolding within it. Readers will discover a world rendered with clarity and sensitivity, where the shifting light of a late afternoon or the stillness of a field can reveal the deepest layers of the heart. 'Days End, and Other Stories' stands as a significant contribution to the short story form, offering timeless reflections on the beauty and hardship of life. It remains an essential read for those who appreciate literary craftsmanship and the enduring power of pastoral storytelling.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
