To read a story by Henry James is to enter a world--a rich,
perfectly crafted domain of vivid language and splendid, complex
characters. Devious children, sparring lovers, capricious American
girls, obtuse bachelors, sibylline spinsters and charming Europeans
populate these five fascinating Nouvelles --works which represent
the author in both his early and late phases. From the apparitions
of evil that haunt the governess in The Turn Of The Screw to the
startling self-scrutiny of an egotistical man in The Beast In The
Jungle, the mysterious tumings of human behavior are skillfully and
coolly observed--proving Henry James to be a master of
psychological insight as well as one of the finest stylists of
modern English literature.
