The Aspen Papers (collected Works of Henry James)
About This Novel
"The Aspen Manuscripts" is a typical novel about cultural conflict and love tragedy written by James, based on the story of the British romantic legendary poet Byron. The novel tells the story of "I" going to Venice in order to obtain the manuscripts of the great poet Aspen, and deliberately getting close to Aspen's legendary mistress. For this batch of precious manuscripts, "I" and the two Miss Bordello patiently dealt with each other, retreating in order to advance, and making progress step by step. It can be said that all the mechanisms were exhausted. Finally, just when these manuscripts were within reach, "I" got cold feet. What is the price that makes "I" return with regret? "Pleasure Corner" is a novel with a magical color. The protagonist is a young man who has lived in Europe for a long time. Because his "Pleasure Corner", that is, his old house, is facing demolition, he returns to the United States to deal with related matters. Back in the old house, he imagined what kind of person he would have become if he had stayed in the United States instead of going to Europe. This story has Henry James's own review, which reflects his profound thinking about the new and old continents. Now it seems that it is quite universal and thought-provoking.
