Washington Square
ISBN: 9781515111986 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Washington Square is a short novel by Henry James. Originally published in 1880 as a serial in Cornhill Magazine and Harper's New Monthly Magazine, it is a structurally simple tragicomedy that recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, unemotional father.

He honoured me with his esteem, and, as the days elapsed, with a large portion of his confidence.

He encounters both the beauty and the ugliness of Europe, and learns not to take either for granted. The core of the novel...

Hawthorne
ISBN: 9781515099178 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This is the only book-length study James wrote about a fellow novelist, and it's not surprising he picked Hawthorne for such extended treatment. The tradition Hawthorne began in American literature - the morally intense exploration of the universality of guilt and the ambiguities of human choice - was clearly carried on by James. Although James expressed misgivings about some of Hawthorne's more extravagant symbolism and heavy reliance on allegory, he shared his predecessor's constant interest in moral quandaries, divided loyalties, and the inevitable conflicts between imaginative...

The head, the features, the color, the whole facial oval and radiance had a wonderful purity; the deep grey eyes -- the most agreeable, I thought, that I had ever seen -- brushed with a kind of winglike grace every object they encountered. Their possessor was just back from Boulogne, where she had spent a week with dear Mrs. Floyd-Taylor: this accounted for the effusiveness of her reunion with dear Mrs. Meldrum. Her black garments were of the freshest and daintiest; she suggested a pink-and-white wreath at...
