The Pupil

The Pupil

USD $ 4,99

Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Winslow Homer, George Inness and Walter Sickert. A poor young tutor is hired by a shabby-genteel family drifting round the hotels of Europe, and finds his pupil is the cleverest person in the household and the only one ashamed of it. James wrote it in 1891 and thought it among his best; the boy's education consists of learning exactly what his parents are, and the tutor's consists of learning what he himself will not do. Fifty-eight plates of dinners, tea tables, sewing hands and portraits by painters including Henry Sargent and Giovanni Boldini catch the shabby-genteel interiors and watchful faces of the world the tutor enters.

Henry James

Autor

Henry James (Nueva York, 1843), hermano menor del conocido filósofo William James, es considerado uno de los más grandes escritores angloparlantes de todos los tiempos. Nacido en una familia rica e hijo de uno de los principales pensadores norteamericanos de su época, pasó gran parte de su juventud viajando por Europa y por los Estados Unidos, y estudió derecho en Harvard por un breve tiempo antes de dedicarse de lleno a la escritura. Es autor de 20 novelas, 112 historias breves, 12 obras de teatro y una buena cantidad de crítica literaria. En 1915 se nacionalizó inglés en solidaridad con su patria adoptiva y como rechazo a la negativa norteamericana de entrar a la guerra. Murió en Londres en 1916.
