Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the overarching theme of finding true freedom and inner peace in a world that is increasingly chaotic and overwhelming. It places this central theme within the broader context of our contemporary struggles with the relentless pace of modern life and the noise of cons…tant connectivity. The author argues that finding a place of respite from the constant busyness is paramount to finding true freedom, and that by seeking out a secluded existence, one can rediscover what is truly important in life. The book discusses the idea of living a life "off the grid" or "going it alone", while offering practical suggestions for how to find one's personal sanctuary, physically, mentally, and emotionally. In essence, this book reinforces the idea that true freedom and contentment can be achieved by seeking solace in simplicity and tranquility. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition, International Edition. Publication: London, Methuen & Co., 1900 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [vi], 392, [48] publisher's catalogue. Condition Report: Good. Bound in original publisher's red cloth, featuring gilt titling to the front board and spine. Binding remains structurally sound but exhibits… visible signs of age and shelf-wear. Both boards are affected by scattered damp-staining, mottling, and general darkening, particularly along the margins. The spine is noticeably sunned and darkened, with rubbing and slight fraying present at the head and tail. Corners are mildly bumped and worn. Internally, the most prominent flaw is the pronounced browning and offset shadowing to the front endpapers, though a common chemical reaction from the acidic paper stock and binding glues used during this era. The main textblock, however, remains comparatively clean and unmarked, retaining a firm and legible presentation throughout. Catalogue Note: This represents the First UK Edition of Henry James's celebrated collection of short fiction, published simultaneously with the American edition by Macmillan. Bound in the publisher's standard red cloth with clean, unornamented gilt tooling, this Methuen edition is highly characteristic of early 20th-century British literary releases. The stories contained within, such as "The Great Good Place," "Europe," and "Paste," capture James during his crucial transition into his complex, psychological 'major phase.' While the exterior binding exhibits the typical wear and darkening expected of Methuen's red cloth after over a century, it remains an un-restored, honest example of a highly significant author's work. Unaltered copies of this title in their original state are becoming increasingly scarce on the open market, particularly as collectors often seek out the UK imprints for their distinctive, austere bindings. The Soft Side is a masterfully nuanced collection of twelve short stories that perfectly bridges the gap between Henry James's middle period and the dense, psychological complexity of his later masterpieces. Featuring celebrated tales such as "The Great Good Place" and "The Tree of Knowledge," the stories explore Jamesian hallmarks: the burdens of social expectation, the unreliability of memory, and the intricate web of human consciousness. Through these vignettes, James scrutinises the subtle dynamics of late 19th-century transatlantic society, offering readers a fascinating glimpse into the internal lives of characters trapped by both convention and their own desires.
