Explanation In Pursuance Of Books The Europeans

Eugenia, the daughter of American expatriates, is the morganatic wife of a German prince, who is being urged to divorce her in favor of a state marriage. She and her artist brother, Felix, travel to Boston to meet distant cousins relatives, partially in hopes of making a wealthy marriage.

Its wit, gaiety, and what Rebecca West calls its "clear sunlit charm" have made this masterly short novel one of the most popular of James's novels.

Judgment Epithetical Books The Europeans

An American family is visited by two European relatives. There ensues a beautifully crafted series of "variations" in response to the disturbance of the individual/pair/group dynamics, as everybody subtly/gradually questions/adjusts(or doesn't!) their world view. Superb characterisation/dialogue (esp for 1878) and exquisite writing (esp sentence construction). Just fell slightly short of 5 stars due to (view spoiler)[rather pat/neat ending (hide spoiler)] but now keen to read more James...

Henry James lightBefore tackling the heavier James stuff (The Portrait of a Lady, The Ambassadors and The Golden Bowl are on the list), I wanted to start with something lighter and was not in that regard, at least disappointed by this compact observation of late 19th Century Euro-American social comparisons and differences.As a European myself, with some American friends and experience, it was fascinating to see how attitudes have shifted, mainly, I think, due to the shift of power and

All I can type down now is, read this overlooked Henry James classic , watch the movie of the same name by the film makers Merchant And Ivory made in 1979 starring Lee Remick. Henry James is considered a literary master for a reason. If you watch the film you won't be able to get the beautiful music out of your head.

5/10.Ugh. If I had not known and loved Henry James in different incarnations, this would have stopped me dead cold in my pursuit of knowing him better. I may, in fact, have to re-think all of Henry James with the taint of this on my hands. The first 20, and the last 20 pages save this from a Zero rating: something actually happens in those two tranches that lifts it above stick people speaking in wooden tones and executing wooden actions. It reminded me of childhood games where we hoisted brooms

It's a funny thing (to start review/thought like someone much older and, presumably, more East Coast than I actually am) but I'd actually forgotten how much I love Henry James' use of language. Now, it's been years, maybe half a decade, since I last read James. The book in question was his "The American" which in typical James fashion illustrates the growing chasm of difference between two ostensible (and superficially similar) counterparts: white Americans of the New World juxtaposed with white

3.5 stars; rounded up.A brief novella, which is effectively a comedy of manners, in which, on the surface, little happens. It reminded me of Edith Whartons The Age of Innocence. The plot is simple; Felix Young and his sister Eugenia are the Europeans. Felix is a painter, who lives a bohemian lifestyle. He is incessantly (nauseatingly) cheerful. His sister Eugenia is in a morganatic marriage and her husbands family want a divorce. They lead a wandering, essentially frivolous lifestyle. They

A brilliant short early novel by James that prefigures his concerns with the conflict between the European and American worlds. Unlike Daisy Miller and The American, James brings the Europeans to America and specifically, an America suffused with Puritan morality.Without giving away the book, the role positions have switched; here, the Americans are cold and distant and the Europeans are warmly alive. But within the romantic and economic gold digging, a gentle look into the negotiations of the
