The Bench of Desolation (1909)

Henry James, born in New York City in 1843, had a unique educational background and began his writing career early, publishing his first story at just twenty. After moving to London in 1876, he became a prolific author, creating twenty novels and over a hundred short stories, along with criticism and plays. His notable works include "The Europeans," "Daisy Miller," and "The Turn of the Screw." This edition features a new introductory biography and aims to present his classic works in high-quality, modern formats while preserving the original text and artwork.
