A painter, his friend, and a girl at Baden-Baden — one man asks the other to inspect her and report whether she will do as a wife, and the report changes both their lives. James wrote this in 1879 between the early tales and the great novels; it is his lightest study of the thing he never stopped examining, which is what happens when a man delegates his own judgment to somebody else. Sixty plates by painters including Tissot and Renoir follow the story's women through shops, gardens and parlours, matching James's eye for the figures a man watches but never truly knows.

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.
