In a series of witty tales he pictured the self-made young woman, the bold and brash American innocent who insists upon American standards in European society. This book is the most successful of the Henry James novels - actually his masterpiece. The leading character is Isabel Archer, a good-looking woman from Albany, New York, who travels to Europe and gets caught up in a strange romantic situation. Beautifully written, fascinating reading. And simply a beautiful, full leather-bound book in gift-giving condition. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
