What Maisie Knew

What Maisie Knew

USD $ 5,99

Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Édouard Vuillard. Maisie's parents divorce and share her out six months each, then use her as a courier for the things they wish to say to one another. What she understands — and when — is the whole novel, and James never once steps outside her. He was born American, took British nationality in his last year, and wrote in 1897 the most unsparing book about adults ever put in a child's point of view. Fifty-seven plates, among them Whistler's river views and Chelsea Houses, fix the novel's shifting households in the painted London of James's own day.

Henry James

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.
