The Awkward Age

The Awkward Age

USD $ 5,99

Complete and unabridged, with 55 full-page plates by Edward William Cooke, Édouard Vuillard and Walter Sickert. Nanda Brookenham comes downstairs — she is old enough now to sit in her mother's drawing room, where the talk is not meant for her, and the talk is what the room is for. James settled in England and took British nationality at the last; this 1899 novel is told almost entirely in dialogue, like a play with the stage directions removed, and what is never said aloud is the whole plot. Fifty-five plates by painters including James Tissot and John Lavery follow the same drawing-room rituals of calls, dinners and quiet asides that James turns into dialogue.

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.
