JAMES, HENRY
Set in New York, this closely constructed novel belongs to James' early period. like "Portrait of a Lady" it studies the plight of an innocent heiress who is deceived by the looks and charm of a worthless suitor. At the same time she is striving to be loyal to a cold and forbidding father.
Henry James va néixer a Nova York el 1843 i va morir a Londres el 1916. Entre les seves obres cal destacar Washington Square (1881), The Bostonians (1886), The Aspern Papers (1888) i la novel·la que avui presentem per primer cop en català, Un altre pas de rosca.
