Η ΔΕΥΤΕΡΗ ΕΥΚΑΙΡΙΑ
Εκδότης: ΜΕΛΑΝΙ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2738-0276

Οι "Μέσοι Χρόνοι" δημοσιεύτηκαν για πρώτη φορά στο περιοδικό Scribner's Magazine, τον Μάιο του 1893. Ήταν μια χρονιά σημαδιακή για τον Τζέιμς: είχε κλείσει τα 50 μόλις έναν χρόνο πριν, είχε πεθάνει η αγαπημένη αδελφή του Άλις (η μικρότερη, και το μοναδικό κορίτσι της οικογένειας) κι ενώ ως τότε ζούσε αποκλειστικά από το γράψιμό του, λάμβανε τώρα ένα μικρό εισόδημα από την οικογενειακή περιουσία. Αλλά και κάτι ακόμα: ήταν πλέον ένας αποφασισμένος εργένης που είχε αποδεχτεί, όσο ποτέ πριν, το αίσθημα της μοναξιάς - όπως είπε σε έναν φίλο, ...

ΤΟ ΣΤΡΙΨΙΜΟ ΤΗΣ ΒΙΔΑΣ
Εκδότης: ΜΙΝΩΑΣ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2800-2833

Μια νεαρή γκουβερνάντα αναλαμβάνει την ανατροφή δύο παιδιών, του Μάιλς και της Φλώρας, μετά τον θάνατο των γονιών τους. Εγκαθίσταται σε έναν πύργο στην εξοχή όπου θα συνειδητοποιήσει ότι δεν είναι μόνη με τα παιδιά. Τα φαντάσματα της προηγούμενης γκουβερνάντας και του παιδαγωγού στοιχειώνουν με την παρουσία τους το παλιό αρχοντικό. Θα καταφέρει η νεαρή κοπέλα να προστατέψει τα παιδιά και να κρατήσει μακριά τα ζοφερά όντα ενός άλλου κόσμου; Ή μήπως είναι μάταιη κάθε αντίσταση σε μια πραγματικότητα που δημιούργησε η πιο νοσηρή φαντασία; Το σ...

Ο ΣΥΓΓΡΑΦΕΑΣ ΤΟΥ ΜΠΕΛΤΡΑΦΙΟ
Εκδότης: ΟΡΟΠΕΔΙΟ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 8121-0024

Η διαφορά μας είναι απλώς η αντίθεση ανάμεσα σε δύο διακριτούς τρόπους θέασης του κόσμου, που ποτέ δεν κατάφεραν να συνεννοηθούν ή να κάνουν χωριό μαζί, από τις απαρχές του χρόνου. Τους έχουν δοθεί ένα σωρό ονόματα, και η γυναίκα μου θα σου πει ότι είναι η διαφορά ανάμεσα σε χριστιανισμό και παγανισμό. Εγώ μπορεί να είμαι παγανιστής, αλλά δεν μ' αρέσει το όνομα, ακούγεται σεχταριστικό. Όπως και να 'χει, με βλέπει σαν αρχαίο Έλληνα, καθόλου καλύτερο. Είναι η διαφορά ανάμεσα στο να στύβεις όσο περισσότερο μπορείς τη ζωή και να μην τη στύβεις...

When timid and plain Catherine Sloper acquires a dashing and determined suitor, her father, convinced that the young man is nothing more than a fortune-hunter, decides to put a stop to their romance. Torn between her desire to win her father’s love and approval and her passion for the first man who has ever declared his love for her, Catherine faces an agonising dilemma, and becomes all too aware of the restrictions that others seek to place on her freedom. James’s masterly novel deftly interweaves the public and private faces of nineteent...

(P/B) WASHINGTON SQUARE
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0136

Introduction and Notes by Ian F.A. Bell, Professor of English Literature, University of Keele. Washington Square marks the culmination of James's apprentice period as a novelist. With sharply focused attention upon just four principal characters, James provides an acute analysis of middle-class manners and behaviour in the New York of the 1870's, a period of great change in the life of the city. This change is explored through the device of setting the novel's action during the 1840s, similarly a period of considerable turbulence as the Un...

Εκδότης: W.W. NORTON & COMPANY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3115-0098

Nine of James's most important tales, including (new to the second edition) "In the Cage," a tale that engages James's complicated attitudes toward gender, class, and the rise of information technology.

(P/B) THE AMBASSADORS
Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0503

The greatest expression of his talent for witty, observant explorations of what it means to 'live well', Henry James' "The Ambassadors" is edited with an introduction and notes by Adrian Poole in "Penguin Classics". Concerned that her son Chad may have become involved with a woman of dubious reputation, the formidable Mrs Newsome sends her 'ambassador' Strether from Massachusetts to Paris to extricate him. Strether's mission, however, is gradually undermined as he falls under the spell of the city and finds Chad refined rather than corrupt...

Εκδότης: PENGUIN

Henry James conceived the character of Hyacinth Robinson-his 'little presumptuous adventurer with his combination of intrinsic fineness and fortuitous adversity'-while walking the streets of London. Brought up in poverty, Hyacinth has nevertheless developed aesthetic tastes that heighten his awareness of the sordid misery around him. He is drawn into the secret world of revolutionary politics and, in a moment of fervour, makes a vow that he will assassinate a major political figure. Soon after this he meets the beautiful Princess Casamassi...

(P/B) DAISY MILLER AND OTHER STORIES
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0089

Daisy Miller is one of Henry James's most attractive heroines: she represents youth and frivolity. As a tourist in Italy, her American freedom and freshness of spirit come up against the corruption and hypocrisy of European manners. From its first publication, readers on both sides of the Atlantic have quarrelled about her, defending or attacking the liberties that Daisy takes and the conventions that she ignores. All three tales in this collection, Daisy Miller, An International Episode and Lady Barbarina, express James's most notable sub...

The plot of this novel revolves around the feminist movement in Boston in the 1870s. F.R. Leavis called it one of "the two most brilliant novels in the language."

'The charm of certain vacant grassy spaces, in Italy, overfrowned by masses of brickwork that are honeycombed by the suns of centuries, is something that I hereby renounce once for all the attempt to express; but you may be sure that whenever I mention such a spot enchantment lurks in it.' - Henry James In these essays on travels in Italy written from 1872 to 1909, Henry James explores art and religion, political shifts and cultural revolutions, and the nature of travel itself. James's enthusiastic appreciation of the unparalleled aestheti...

(P/B) HENRY JAMES: SELECTED TALES
Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0516

Throughout his life, Henry James was drawn to the short story form for the freedom and variety it offered. The nineteen stories in this selection span James's career, from brief tales to longer works, all exploring his concerns with the old world and the new, money, fame and art. 'Daisy Miller', the work that first brought him fame, depicts a bold, unsophisticated American girl abroad, and 'In the Cage' portrays a young telegraphist's romantic fantasies about customers who send telegrams from her post office.

Αν η «ζωή του δημιουργού είναι η τέχνη του» και αν «η τέχνη γεννάει ζωή», τότε ποιος είναι ο ρόλος του έρωτα, και γιατί τόσοι και τόσοι δημιουργοί υποτάχτηκαν σ' αυτόν με πάθος; Το θέμα εξετάζεται από τον Henry James με ειρωνική αλλά βαθιά ανθρώπινη ματιά, καθώς ο έρωτας, η δημιουργικότητα, η χαρά της ζωής, η αφοσίωση και η έμπνευση συγκροτούνται και επαναπροσδιορίζονται, προβάλλοντας τη βαθιά εξάρτηση της τέχνης της ζωής από την ίδια την τέχνη, αφήνοντας να εννοηθεί πως μπορεί ενίοτε η απόλαυση να καταστέλλει τη δημιουργία, αλλά εξίσου συ...

(P/B) THE WINGS OF THE DOVE
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0130

With an Introduction by Nicola Bradbury, University of Reading The Wings of the Dove is a tale of desire and possession, of love and death. It is in essence a simple story, but one that opens up the great subject of art: life itself. To tackle this, James moves between fairytale storylines and the startlingly modern techniques of his testing late style. An unspeakable subtext lies beneath the silence. Distinct points of view and different centres of consciousness betray the dislocation of the social facade from the desolation beneath. For ...

Henry James' celebrated novel about a passionate New England suffragette, her displaced southern gentleman cousin, and a charismatic young woman whose loyalty they both wished to possess goes so directly to the heart of sexual politics that it speaks to us with a voice as fresh and as vital as when the book was first published in 1882. Majestic in its movement, rich and sympathetic in its ironies, The Bostonians is the work of a master psychologist at the top of his form. (From the publisher)...

(P/B) THE FIGURE IN THE CARPET
AND OTHER STORIES
Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0509

The stories in this collection were written mostly between 1888 and 1897, a time when Henry James's writing was concerned with the art of fiction and the position of the artist in society. The motif and title story, 'The Figure in the Carpet', is an inspired joke, a masterpiece of double-entendre that demands the reader's undivided love and attention and continues to baffle its critics. Also included are 'The Author of Beltraffio', an absorbing story of family infighting, authorship and tragedy, and 'The Private Life', a spirited tale that...

Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0066

Of the three late masterpieces that crown the extraordinary literary achievement of Henry James, The Wings of the Dove (1902) is at once the most personal and the most elemental. James drew on the memory of a beloved cousin who died young to create one of the three central characters, Milly Theale, an heiress with a short time to live and a passion for experiencing life to its fullest. To the creation of the other two, Merton Densher and the magnificent, predatory Kate Croy, who conspire in an act of deceit and betrayal, he brought a lifet...
