Paperback. Condición: Fair. 368 pages. Cover ripped at spine as well and several of the first pages. In January 1895 Henry James anticipates the opening o f his first play, Guy Domville, in London. The production fails, and he returns, chastened and humiliated, to his writing desk. Th e result is a string of masterpieces, but they are produced at a high personal cost. In The Master Colm T?b? captures the exquisi te anguish of a man who circulated in the grand parlours and pala zzos of Europe, who was astonishingly vibrant and alive in his ar t, and yet whose attempts at intimacy inevitably failed him and t hose he tried to love. It is a powerful account of the hazards of putting the life of the mind before affairs of the heart. Edito rial Reviews About the Author Colm T?b? was born in Ireland in 1955.

Libro
Soft cover. Condición: As New. Colm Tóibíns beautiful, subtle illumination of Henry Jamess inner life (The New York Times) captures the loneliness and hope of a master of psychological subtlety whose forays into intimacy inevitably fail those he tried to love. Beautiful and profoundly moving, The Master tells the story of Henry James, a man born into one of Americas first intellectual families who leaves his country in the late nineteenth century to live in Paris, Rome, Venice, and London among privileged artists and writers. With stunningly resonant prose, The Master is unquestionably the work of a first-rate novelist: artful, moving, and very beautiful (The New York Times Book Review). The emotional intensity of this portrait is riveting.
