Complete and unabridged, with 36 full-page plates by Frederick Cayley Robinson, William Orpen and William Merritt Chase. A girl of extraordinary beauty is going blind, and will not wear the glasses that would save what sight she has — because they would spoil her face, which is the only capital she has. James settled in England and took British nationality at the last; this 1896 story is his most brutal about what beauty is worth as currency, and the narrator, a portrait painter, is complicit throughout. Thirty-six plates of shipping, quaysides and figures on the Embankment, among them work by Henry Redmore and Walter Greaves, extend the story's world of faces, harbours and what is looked at and paid for.

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.
