Description
The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James In this poignant and thought-provoking novel, Henry James explores the complex relationship between money and happiness through the story of Isabel Archer, a beautiful and spirited American woman. When Isabel is brought to Europe by her wealthy aunt, she is expected to marry, but instead chooses to forge her own path and determine her own fate. As Isabel navigates the complexities of European society, she finds herself drawn to Gilbert Osmond, a charming and cultivated suitor who sees her as a rich prize to be won. But beneath Osmond's polished exterior, Isabel discovers a darker reality, one that threatens to undermine her freedom and happiness. This edition of The Portrait of a Lady features an introduction by Philip Horne and includes a chronology, further reading, notes, and other helpful resources to enhance your reading experience.
