The narrator racks his brains and, in desperation, tells his friend Corvick of the puzzle. Corvick and his novelist fiancee, Gwendolen, pursue "the trick" without success until...

"I desire nothing better than to lie here in the shade and hear everything." He frowned a little, as if he thought my sympathy a trifle meager. I shook him by the hand and laughed. "The pearl of wisdom," I cried, "is love; honest love in the most convenient concentration of experience I advise you to fall in love." He gave me no smile in response, but drew from his pocket the letter of which I have spoken, held it up, and shook it solemnly. "What is it?" I asked. "It is my sentence " "Not of death, I hope " "Of marriage." "With whom?"...

Madame de Mauves
ISBN: 9781515112778 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 44 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this story James' international theme takes a tragic and even perverse turn, as the marriage of a somewhat puritanical American woman and an easy-living, pagan Frenchman leads to despair and suicide. Whether an affair between Longmore and Euphemia (suggested by the amoral Richard and his equally cynical sister Madame de Clairin) would have made any difference is doubtful, but things couldn't have turned out much worse under any circumstances. Longmore is somewhat typical of James' male protagonists, hesitant about taking action and entering fully into life. Even at the end of the story he...
