Dodo Collections brings you another classic from James Henry, ‘The Patagonia.’

 

This 1891 novelette by Henry James tells of an ocean voyage on a ship called The Patagonia, sailing from Boston to Liverpool. The unnamed narrator is friends with a Mrs. Nettlepoint, a woman of good family with a son names Jason. Accompanying them -- somewhat unexpectedly -- is a young woman named Grace Mavis, who is to marry a childhood friend whom she has not seen for ten years. During the cruise, it appears that Miss Mavis is spending an inordinate amount of time with Jason Nettlepoint, who is some years younger than she is. The usual shipboard gossip has decided that Grace and Jason are an "item," and that the woman''s intended would likely be thrown over.

 

Henry James, OM, son of theologian Henry James Sr., brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James, was an American-born author, one of the founders and leaders of a school of realism in fiction. He spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death. He is primarily known for a series of major novels in which he portrayed the encounter of America with Europe. His plots centered on personal relationships, the proper exercise of power in such relationships, and other moral questions. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allowed him to explore the phenomena of consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Henry James

Henry James (1843-1916), was born in New York, in the United States, into a family of intellectuals. Son of theologian Henry James Sr and brother of philosopher-psychologist William James, he was one of the most recognized authors of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In his youth he traveled extensively between Europe and America, studying with professors from Geneva, London, Bologna, Paris, and even briefly attending Harvard Law School. He spent most of his life in Europe writing various genres such as novels, short stories, literary and artistic criticism, travel literature, biography and autobiography. He analyzed the world taking into account basic concepts such as freedom, the inner monologue and psychological drama, addressing ghost stories where he explored the tenuous border between the supernatural and the most remote areas of the human mind. Of his numerous works, Portrait of a Lady, The Europeans, The Liar and Daisy Miller, among others, stand out.
