Produktinformationen zu „The Wings of the Dove (ePub)“
In 'The Wings of the Dove', Henry James, a maestro of psychological realism, delves into the complexities of love, desire, and social ambition through the intertwined lives of three distinct characters. Set against the turn of the 20th-century London and Venice, the narrative is characterized by an intricate and nuanced prose style, emblematic of James's late-career focus on the internal lives of his characters, as well as his fascination with the contrast between New World innocence and Old World experience. As the story unfolds, James masterfully explores the moral repercussions of the characters' plans surrounding the wealth and impending tragedy of Milly Theale, offering profound insights into human nature and the societal constraints of the time.
Henry James, an American-born writer who spent much of his career in Britain, is often associated with themes of consciousness and morality, rooted in his acute sensitivity to cultural and social nuances. His personal experiences among the literati and social elite of both continents informed his craftsmanship, leading to the creation of works like 'The Wings of the Dove' which ponder the ethical dimensions of wealth, exploitation, and personal relationships. Fueled by his own observations, James's intuitive understanding of his characters' motives and emotions is reflective of his broader contemplations on the human condition.
This novel is highly recommended for readers seeking a richly textured narrative that challenges moral assumptions while offering a penetrating psychological portrait of its characters. 'The Wings of the Dove' will particularly appeal to those with an appreciation for literary works that linger on the delicate interplay of thought and action, as well as the subtleties of societal norms. James's masterful storytelling and the timeless themes captured within this novel ensure its place as a formidable and illuminating fixture within the canon of classic literature.

Autoren-Porträt von Henry James
Henry James (1843-1916) stands as a towering figure in the realm of literary realism and psychological insight. Born in New York City to a prominent intellectual family, James enjoyed access to the cultural richness of Europe at a young age, a feature that would profoundly influence his literary career. His extensive oeuvre encompasses novels, short stories, plays, and criticism, noted for their exploration of consciousness, morality, and interpersonal relationships. James's narrative style is characterized by his intricate prose and keen social observation, often delving into the subtleties of character development and moral ambiguities.One of his later masterpieces, 'The Wings of the Dove' (1902), exemplifies James's narrative skill, employing a third-person limited point of view to delve deeply into the thoughts and motivations of his characters. This novel, like many of his works, deals with themes of wealth, exploitation, and the collision of New World innocence with European sophistication. The book's critical examination of the complexities of human emotion and the societal constraints of the early 20th century underscores James's legacy as a connoisseur of the human condition. James's contribution to literature was recognized with his 1916 Order of Merit-an honor bestowed by the British monarch for exceptional distinction in the arts and sciences.
