Description
The Princess Casamassima by Henry James is a novel about a young man's journey into and out of radical politics. Born into poverty, he develops an awareness of the world around him through his aesthetic tastes. His life becomes entwined with that of the beautiful Princess Casamassima, leading to a tragic confrontation between his ideals and his circumstances. As he navigates this complex world, James explores themes of honour, morality, and the human condition. The novel is both deeply personal and socially engaged, offering a nuanced portrayal of the tensions between individual conviction and societal expectations. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition features an introduction and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as an up-to-date translation by award-winning translators.
