Wordsworth / Wordsworth Classics
Henry James’s last completed novel, The Golden Bowl, is the story of two flawed marriages. The lives and relationships of Maggie Verver and her widowed American millionaire father, Adam, are changed and challenged by the beautiful and charming Charlotte Stant, who is the former lover of Maggie’s husband, the impoverished Italian, Prince Amerigo. The narrative is underpinned by complex symbolism. The gilded crystal bowl with its almost invisible flaw is the vehicle which James uses to reveal past misdemeanours and make his characters face their own defects in this classic tale of redemption.

Wordsworth / —
With an Introduction and Notes by Martin Scofield, University of Kent at Canterbury Henry James was arguably the greatest practitioner of what has been called the psychological ghost story. His stories explore the region which lies between the supernatural or straightforwardly marvellous and the darker areas of the human psyche. This edition includes all ten of his ghost stories, and as such is the fullest collection currently available. The stories range widely in tone and type. They include ‘The Jolly Corner’, a compelling story of psychological doubling; ‘Owen Wingrave’, which is also a subtle parable of military tradition; ‘The Friends of the Friends’, a strange story of uncanny love; and ‘The Private Life’, which finds a shrewd, high comedy in its ghostly theme. The volume also includes James’s great novella The Turn of the Screw, perhaps the most ambiguous and disturbing ghost story ever written.

American teenager Daisy miller was on a holiday — and Europe might never recover. From Switzerland to Rome, she caused scandals everywhere: because Daisy Miller did «whatever» she wanted, with «whomever» she wanted, «whenever «she chose. And she truly didn’t care what society thought.
But Winterbourne, a dignified, proper, upper-crust young man, was utterly fascinated by her. To the horror of his relatives and friends, Winterbourne helplessly followed Daisy across a continent. Even though Daisy was too much woman for WInterbourne to every understand…
And even though Daisy Miller might be a danger to herself.
