The American

The American

USD $ 5,99

Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by George Inness, Albert Bierstadt and Édouard Vuillard. A self-made American businessman comes to Paris to buy the best of everything, including a wife, and discovers that the family he has chosen from cannot be bought at any price. James wrote it in his early thirties, and the ending - which he refused to change to please anybody - is the first time he did the thing he became famous for. Fifty-seven plates of American landscape and street scenes by Albert Bierstadt and George Inness, 1849 to 1909, run alongside the novel as a visual counterpart to its transatlantic clash of new money and old world.

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.
