Christopher Newman, el americano, el hombre nuevo, el gran bárbaro del Oeste, llega a París dispuesto a ver todas las cosas importantes y hacer lo que hace la gente inteligente. Casarse se encuentra también entre sus expectativas, y ninguna mujer parece adecuarse tanto a ellas como madame de Cintré, una joven viuda perteneciente a una rancia casta de aristócratas. Newman piensa que, con su dinero, podrá vencer las reticencias y el orgullo de una familia poco inclinada a emparentar con -como ellos dicen- una persona mercantil. Y en un principio así parece... pero, como un día le advierte el hermano menor de madame de Cintré, los árboles viejos tienen ramas torcidas, las casas viejas tienen grietas curiosas, las viejas estirpes tiene raros secretos. ¡Recuerde que tenemos ochocientos años!. La comedia de sociedad se ensombrece de pronto con el oscuro legado de los siglos, que hace su gótica aparición en forma de duelos, vergonzosos secretos, crímenes y clausuras de por vida. Newman aprende así lo que oculta y lo que depara no sólo la vieja Europa, sino también su propio deseo de ella. El americano (1876-77) es la primera novela propiamente internacional de Henry James y constituye ya una muestra excelente de su personalidad y su estilo.

What Maisie Knew is a novel by Henry James, first published as a serial in The Chap-Book and (revised and abridged) in the New Review in 1897 and then as a book later that year. It tells the story of the sensitive daughter of divorced, irresponsible parents. The book follows the title character from earliest childhood to precocious maturity. With an Introduction by Pat Righelato, University of Reading The child of parents who divorce, remarry and then embark on adulterous affairs, Maisie Farange survives by her intelligence and spirit. For all its sombre theme of childhood innocence exposed to a corrupted adult world, this novel is one of James's comic masterpieces. The outrageous behaviour of the characters on the seedy fringes of the English upper class is conveyed with wit and relish. The dual perspective of a sophisticated narrator richly appreciative of the absurdities of the adult sexual merry-go-round and the candid vision of Maisie, 'rebounding' from one parent to another like a 'shuttlecock', together create an 'associational magic'. Strangely, unexpectedly, from so much that is tawdry, comes a tale of moral energy and subtlety. James's foresight was in understanding the modernity of his subject, which is even more relevant today in the twenty-first century

Nanda is torn between her love for Adam and her sense of duty to her mother, and the novel follows her as she struggles to find her place in society and make sense of her conflicting emotions. The Awkward Age is a complex and nuanced exploration of the human condition, and is considered one of James' most important works.1899.

On a brilliant day in May, in the year 1868, a gentleman was reclining at his ease on the great circular divan which at that period occupied the centre of the Salon Carre, in the Museum of the Louvre. This commodious ottoman has since been removed, to the extreme regret of all weak-kneed lovers of the fine arts, but the gentleman in question had taken serene possession of its softest spot, and, with his head thrown back and his legs outstretched, was staring at Murillo's beautiful moon-borne Madonna in profound enjoyment of his posture. He had removed his hat, and flung down beside him a little red guide-book and an opera-glass. The day was warm; he was heated with walking, and he repeatedly passed his handkerchief over his forehead, with a somewhat wearied gesture. And yet he was evidently not a man to whom fatigue was familiar; long, lean, and muscular, he suggested the sort of vigor that is commonly known as "toughness.

Henry James (15 April 1843 - 28 February 1916) was an American-born writer. He is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. He was the son of Henry James, Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James. He is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from a character's point of view allowed him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators brought a new depth to narrative fiction. James contributed significantly to literary criticism, particularly in his insistence that writers be allowed the greatest possible freedom in presenting their view of the world. James claimed that a text must first and foremost be realistic and contain a representation of life that is recognisable to its readers. Good novels, to James, show life in action and are, most importantly, interesting. In addition to his voluminous works of fiction he published articles and books of travel, biography, autobiography, and criticism, and wrote plays. James alternated between America and Europe for the first twenty years of his life; eventually he settled in England, becoming a British subject in 1915, one year before his death. James was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912, and 1916.

"Los europeos" novela corta del autor norteamericano Henry James (1843-1916) publicada en 1878. Básicamente se trata de una comedia que contrasta los comportamientos y actitudes de dos visitantes europeos con los de sus parientes norteamericanos en Nueva Inglaterra. La novela apareció por primera vez como serial en The Atlantic Monthly entre Julio y Octubre de 1878. James posteriormente realizó numerosas revisiones menores sobre esta primera publicación del libro. La historia comienza en Boston, Nueva Inglaterra, a mediados del siglo diecinueve, y describe la experiencia de dos hermanos europeos, protagonistas de la obra (Felix Young y su hermana mayor Eugenia Münster) que viajan desde el Viejo al Nuevo Mundo. Eugenia se habría casado en Alemania en matrimonio morganático con el príncipe Adolf of Silberstadt-Schreckenstein, el hermano menor del príncipe reinante, quien se vería actualmente apremiado por su familia para anular su matrimonio por razones políticas. Debido a esto, Eugenia y Felix habrían decidido viajar a América y encontrarse con sus parientes lejanos, de modo de poder ganar fortuna con una que otra unión familiar conveniente. Todos los primos viven en una localidad rural, ubicada en los alrededores de Boston, y disponen de una gran cantidad de tiempo libre. El primer encuentro con ellos estaría marcado por una sorpresiva visita de Felix. La familia es del tipo puritano, dirigida por el jefe de hogar y padre de familia (Mr. Wentworth), radicalmente distante de los hábitos europeos. A diferencia de Felix, Eugenia no se muestra realmente interesada en compartir su tiempo con aquel círculo. No le agrada visitarlos ni tampoco le agradan las muchachas Wentworth. Su hermano Felix, en cambio, aparece complacido e interesado en Charlotte y, especialmente, Gertrude, de quienes pintará retratos en los jardines de la casa.

The Letters of Honore de Balzac is a collection of personal correspondence written by the renowned French novelist Honore de Balzac. The letters were compiled and edited by the American author Henry James and were originally published in 1889. The book contains letters written by Balzac to his family, friends, and colleagues, covering a wide range of topics including his literary works, his personal life, and his financial struggles. The letters provide insight into Balzac's creative process, his relationships with other writers and artists, and his views on politics and society. James provides a comprehensive introduction to the collection, offering background information on Balzac's life and work, as well as his own reflections on the letters and their significance. The book also includes a detailed index and bibliography, making it a valuable resource for scholars and fans of Balzac's writing. Overall, The Letters of Honore de Balzac offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and mind of one of the most influential writers of the 19th century, as well as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of French literature.The letters make a jump from 1822 to 1827, during which interval he had established, with borrowed capital, a printing house, and seen his enterprise completely fail. This failure saddled him with a mountain of debt which pressed upon him crushingly for years, and of which he rid himself only toward the close of his life. Balzac's debts are another labyrinth in which we do not profess to hold a clue. There is scarcely a page of these volumes in which they are not alluded to, but the reader never quite understands why they should bloom so perennially. The liabilities incurred by the collapse of the printing scheme can hardly have been so vast as not to have been for the most part cancelled by ten years of heroic work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
