Produktbeschreibung

"The Sense of the Past" is a novel written by Henry James, although it was left incomplete at the time of his death in 1916. The novel was posthumously published in 1917. "The Sense of the Past" follows the story of Ralph Pendrel, an American who travels to England and becomes mysteriously transported back in time to the 1820s. In this past era, he becomes involved in the lives of his ancestors and experiences the challenges and intrigues of the time. As Ralph navigates this unfamiliar world, he grapples with questions of identity, destiny, and the nature of time itself. The novel is notable for its exploration of the themes of time travel and historical consciousness, as well as its nuanced characterization and rich prose style. While "The Sense of the Past" is not as well-known or widely read as some of James' other works, it remains a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of human experience and the passage of time.

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.
