Henry James

Daisy Miller (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

While on a trip to Switzerland, Frederick Winterbourne is introduced to a young, beautiful American named Daisy Miller. Although Daisy has a reputation for being frivolous and flirtatious, Winterbourne is intrigued by her, so when the two meet again in Rome, he takes an interest in the rumours about her behaviour and, against wiser counsel, becomes involved once again with her.

Despite being criticized for how Daisy's character portrayed American values at the time, Daisy Miller was an immediate success and remains one of Henry James' most popular works. In 1909, James adapted the story into a dramatic work of the same name with an alternate conclusion.
