À propos de cet audio

Henry James' short but much acclaimed suspense novel. Set in Venice, it's the story of an American editor's determination to acquire a collection of unpublished letters at any cost.

The letters are to the former mistress of a famous, deceased poet, Jeffrey Aspern. The mistress, Miss Bordereau is now very elderly, living modestly in a dilapidated old palazzo with her shy, awkward and uncomely niece Tita, an unwitting 'pawn' in the plot.

The strong characterizations of the three main players in the story make for a compelling story of lies, betrayal and psychological warfare. James' gift for building suspense is evident, the tension builds until the very last moment.

Henry James (1843–1916) was an American novelist, a 19th century master of literary realism, a movement to portray ordinary lives and situations devoid of romanticism or stylization.

Born in Manhattan to a prominent family, Henry James traveled extensively, and eventually settled in England. The cultural differences between Americans and Europeans were a favorite subject of his.

Classic Henry James

This book reads as a symphony sounds--vital action with subdued but vital interludes. Henry James is considered to be one of the best novelists who has ever lived. His insertion of the reader into the minds and motives of his characters is precise. The narration supplements this perfectly. Henry James is not an author to choose when looking for a book to read at the beach--although you could do worse. Sometimes we need to refresh our minds with a truly fine novel. This is one of the best. Enjoy. And when you've read this one move along to the other novels of Henry James.
