Produktbeschreibung
Henry James (1843-1916) was an American author who spent nearly half of his life as an expatriate in Europe and became a British citizen in 1915. Many of his works, such as "Daisy Miller," deal with the contrast and conflict between brash Americans and dignified Europeans. James is considered one of the key figures in the development of literary modernism. "The Turn of the Screw" is the most famous of James' many horror stories. Although it deals with ghosts, James leaves open the question of whether the ghosts are real or merely the product of the narrator's over-active imagination. While critics have argued both ways for over a century, readers have continued to be spooked by the dangerous figures of Miss Jessel and the sinister Peter Quint. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
Autorenporträt
Henry James (1843 - 1916) was an American-born British writer. He is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. He was the son of Henry James, Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James. He is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from a character's point of view allowed him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators brought a new depth to narrative fiction.
