The Death of the Lion is an 1894 short story by Henry James. The narrator suggests writing an article on Neil Paraday; his new editor agrees. The former spends a week with Neil and writes the article whilst there, alongside reading Paraday's latest book. His editor rejects the article however; he decides to write an article for another newspaper, but it goes unnoticed. Neil Paraday gets excited about writing another book, despite the fact that he doesn't seem successful still. However the narrator comes across a praiseful review in The Empire. Mr Morrow, a journalist suddenly interested in writing about Neil Paraday's life now that he is successful, comes round and ends up scaring the writer; the narrator manages to see him off.

Na sua juventude viajou basntante entre a Europa e a América, estudando com professores de Geneva, Londres, Bolonha, Paris, chegando mesmo a frequentar por um período breve a Harvard Law School.

Analisava o mundo tendo em conta conceitos base como a liberdade, o monólogo interior e o drama psicológico, abordando histórias de fantasmas onde explorava a ténue fronteira entre o sobrenatural e as áreas mais recônditas da mente humana.
