Opis

-The Real Thing, - a tale of an artist and his models, a husband and wife in impoverished conditions willing to do anything to earn their keep. This story, often read as a parable, plays with the reality-illusion dichotomy that fascinated James, especially in the later stages of his career; -Sir Dominick Ferrand, - in which struggling author Peter Baron's discovery of the secret letters of Dominick Ferrand changes his life; -Nona Vincent- -- playwright Allan Wayworth struggles to write something meaningful for the popular stage; and -Greville Fane, - in which the narrator is called upon to interview a dying author, known for her sensational and passionate novels. Also included is -The Chaperon.-
