Produktbeschreibung

Ebook con un sumario dinámico y detallado: La señorita Annie P. Miller aparece en Vevey, Suiza, con su madre y su hermano. Su padre, opulento y tosco nuevo rico, quiere pulirla y europeizarla. Daisy, como es llamada, conoce a un refinado joven norteamericano llamado Winterbourne, que se interesa por ella, desconcertado por su desenfado y su coqueta falta de tacto. Se vuelven a ver en Roma y él trata de corregir la conducta de Daisy, sobre todo cuando comienza a coquetear públicamente con un italiano de poca clase llamado Giovanelli. Esto lleva a que la colonia norteamericana en Roma la condene al ostracismo. Daisy muere de unas fiebres contraídas en plena noche romana a solas con Giovanelli, y sus últimas palabras fueron un recado para Winterbourne: "Decidle que jamás me prometí a Giovanelli", como una invitación casi póstuma a largo noviazgo de ultratumba. Toda la tensión de amor y recelo entre Daisy y Winterbourne se debieron exclusivamente a un desajuste social.

Autorenporträt

Henry James was an American-British author, born on April 15, 1843, in New York City, and he passed away on February 28, 1916, in Chelsea, London, at the age of 72. He is considered a key transitional figure between literary realism and modernism, contributing significantly to the development of modern English literature. His works often explore themes of consciousness, morality, and the complexities of human relationships. James was influenced by prominent authors like Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Edgar Allan Poe, which helped shape his unique narrative style. He had a diverse and intellectual family background; his brother, William James, was a famous philosopher and psychologist, while his siblings Alice, Garth, and Robertson also made notable contributions in various fields. James was educated at Harvard University and briefly attended Harvard Law School, but he ultimately pursued a career in writing. His deep exploration of psychological complexity and narrative innovation has earned him widespread recognition as one of the greatest novelists in the English language.
