Description
Seven of Henry James's most thought-provoking short stories, gathered together in a single volume, offer a fascinating exploration of the relationship between art and life.
From the title story, "The Aspern Papers," to "The Author of Beltraffio," "The Lesson of the Master," and "The Figure in the Carpet," these tales follow naive young men as they encounter their literary heroes, leading to unsettling and often ironic consequences. Other stories, such as "The Middle Years," "The Real Thing," and "Greville Fane," delve into the tension between artistic and commercial success, revealing James's unique perspective on the creative life.
Published by Penguin, a leading publisher of classic literature, this volume is part of the Penguin Classics series, which provides authoritative texts with introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
