Book Description
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Henry James (New York, April 15, 1843-London, February 28, 1916) was an American writer and literary critic, nationalized British at the end of his life, who is known for his novels and stories based on the dot technique of view, which allows the psychological analysis of the characters from within. He was the son of Henry James Sr. and younger brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James. Henry, he spent a lot of time in Europe. As a writer James is considered one of the great figures of transatlantic literature. His works are often based on the juxtaposition of characters from the Old, artistic, corrupting and seductive world and the New World, where people are often sincere and open, although their nuances and variations are multiple.In his works he prefers internal and psychological drama, and alienation is a common theme of his. His early works are considered realistic, but in fact during his long literary career he maintained a keen interest in a variety of artistic movements. His works have been adapted into film many times by directors such as William Wyler (The Heiress, adaptation of the novel Washington Square).
