El joven se introduce en un mundo ag�nico y fantasmag�rico, volcado en el recuerdo, que la orgullosa anciana habita con la �nica compa��a de una sobrina suya, una mujer ya madura que no parece haber conocido otra cosa que la reclusi�n y el legado de un esplendor desaparecido.

About the Author:

Henry James was an American author, essayist, and critic known for his contributions to both literary criticism and the realist movement, which focused on presenting everyday life as it actually was. In creating realistic portrayals of life and society, James often included elements of social and political commentary in his works, notably his depiction of the feminist movement in The Bostonians, and the exploration of culture clash between America and Europe in Daisy Miller. James s best known works also include The Portrait of a Lady, The Ambassadors, and the novella The Turn of the Screw. American by birth, James spent much of his time in England and eventually moved to London. He became a British subject just before his death in 1916.
