Àííîòàöèÿ: This indispensible anthology collects the short novels of Henry James, offering readers the full range of his skill and vision-the singular art and imagination of an author who profoundly influenced American literature

Àííîòàöèÿ: Lady Agnes's idea had been that her son should go straight from the Palais de l'Industrie to the Hôtel de Hollande, with or without his mother and his sisters, as his humour should seem to recommend. Much as she desired to see their brilliant kinswoman and as she knew that her daughters desired it, she was quite ready to postpone their visit, if this sacrifice should contribute to a speedy confrontation for Nick.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Concerned that her son Chad may have become involved with a woman of dubious reputation, the formidable Mrs Newsome sends her ambassador Strether to Paris to extricate him. Strether, however, finds Chad refined rather than corrupted by the influence of the city and his charming companion.

Àííîòàöèÿ: When Isabel Archer, a young American woman with looks, wit, and imagination, arrives in Europe, she sees the world as a place of brightness, of free expression, of irresistible action. She turns aside from suitors who offer her their wealth and devotion to follow her own path. But that way leads to disillusionment and a future as constricted as `a dark narrow alley with a dead wall at the end. In a conclusion that is one of the most moving in modern fiction, Isabel makes her final choice. The Portrait of a Lady is the masterpiece of James s middle period, and Isabel is perhaps his most engaging central character. This edition provides a challenging new introduction and detailed notes; the text is that of the New York Edition and includes Henry James s own Preface.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Brought up in poverty, Hyacinth has nevertheless developed aesthetic tastes that heighten his awareness of the sordid misery around him. He is drawn into the secret world of revolutionary politics and, in a moment of fervour, makes a vow that he will assassinate a major political figure. Soon after this he meets the beautiful Princess Casamassima. Captivated by her world of wealth and nobility, art and beauty, Hyacinth loses faith in radicalism, the beastly cause. But tormented by his belief in honour, he must face an agonizing, and ultimately tragic, dilemma.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Christopher Newman, a self-made American millionaire in France, has fallen in love with the beautiful, aristocratic Claire de Bellegarde. Her family, however, taken back by his brash American manner, rejects his proposal of marriage. When Newman discovers a guilty secret in the Bellegardes' past, he controls a moral dilema: should he reveal the truth behind the careful facade the family has maintained and thus gain his revenge?

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Wings of the Dove is a classic example of Henry James s morality tales that play off the naiveté of an American protagonist abroad. In early-20th-century London, Kate Croy and Merton Densher are engaged in a passionate, clandestine love affair. Croy is desperately in love with Densher, who has all the qualities of a potentially excellent husband: he s handsome, witty, and idealistic-the one thing he lacks is money, which ultimately renders him unsuitable as a mate. By chance, Croy befriends a young American heiress, Milly Theale. When Croy discovers that Theale suffers from a mysterious and fatal malady, she hatches a plan that can give all three characters something that they want-at a price. Croy and Densher plan to accompany the young woman to Venice where Densher, according to Croy s design, will seduce the ailing heiress. The two hope that Theale will find love and happiness in her last days and-when she dies-will leave her fortune to Densher, so that he and Croy can live happily ever after. The scheme that at first develops as planned begins to founder when Theale discovers the pair s true motives shortly before her death. Densher struggles with unanticipated feelings of love for his new paramour, and his guilt may obstruct his ability to avail himself of Theale s gift. James deftly navigates the complexities and irony of such moral treachery in this stirring novel.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The American Henry James's descriptions of the countryside, monuments, universities, cathedrals, castles, customs and manners of the English are filled with elegant charm and good humour. Here he delights in the hidden corners of ancient Chester streets, marvels at the drunken jollity of Epsom Derby day and savours the calm shadows of Glastonbury abbey, in a hymn to stained-glass windows, crumbling cottages, Norman towers, weather-beaten gables and the English genius. Generations of inhabitants have helped shape the English countryside — but it has profoundly shaped us too.It has provoked a huge variety of responses from artists, writers, musicians and people who live and work on the land — as well as those who are travelling through it. English Journeys celebrates this long tradition with a series of twenty books on all aspects of the countryside, from stargazey pie and country churches, to man's relationship with nature and songs celebrating the patterns of the countryside (as well as ghosts and love-struck soldiers).

Àííîòàöèÿ: An impoverished woman who has been forced to choose between a privileged life with her wealthy aunt and her journalist lover, befriends an American heiress. When she discovers the heiress is attracted to her own lover and is dying, she sees a chance to have both the privileged life she cannot give up and the lover she cannot live without.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The four stories in this volume provide excellent introductions to the themes and styles of the author's three periods and also to that "long short story" ("the dear, the blessed nouvelle") in which James found he could get the best of both worlds.

Àííîòàöèÿ: In his short stories Henry James employs techniques of interior monologue and point of view to expand the readers' enjoyment of character perception and insight. Often comparing the Old World with the New, and influenced by Honore de Balzac, Henrik Ibsen, Charles Dickens, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.
