Book Description

To read a story by Henry James is to enter a world--a rich, perfectly crafted domain of vivid language and splendid, complex characters. Devious children, sparring lovers, capricious American girls, obtuse bachelors, sibylline spinsters and charming Europeans populate these five fascinating Nouvelles --works which represent the author in both his early and late phases. From the apparitions of evil that haunt the governess in The Turn Of The Screw to the startling self-scrutiny of an egotistical man in The Beast In The Jungle, the mysterious tumings of human behavior are skillfully and coolly observed--proving Henry James to be a master of psychological insight as well as one of the finest stylists of modern English literature.

给吓尿了。。真是哥特风格鬼故事 复习的时候都不敢看

reading Washington Square, everyday several pages on metro on the way to office. Surprised to find that this is classic tales of terror....-_-!

两个星期，一百三十多页的一个短篇，看一点扔一旁；看一点扔一旁。过程毫无乐趣。终于看完了，没明白。翻了两眼评论，又觉得有趣了，再看一遍。。。

国际主题下驱散纯真年代的经验之歌，而小说家无意揭谜，惯会将真事——故事内核——隐去的含混，不论是布莱的鬼魂还是华盛顿广场的罗曼司。序章作者曾为伊迪斯·沃顿著传并荣膺普利策奖，对情节蓝本与作家生平行谊做交叉比对，读者顿感人大于文而性味索然。
