The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Fiction
The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Fiction | Henry James
2 posts | 9 read | 1 to read
To read a story by Henry James is to enter a fully realized world unlike any other—a rich, perfectly crafted domain of vivid language and splendid, complex characters. Devious children, sparring lovers, capricious American girls, obtuse bachelors, sibylline spinsters, and charming Europeans populate these five fascinating nouvelles, which represent the author in both his early and late phases. From the apparitions of evil that haunt the governess in “The Turn of the Screw” to the startling self-scrutiny of an egotistical man in “The Beast in the Jungle,” the mysterious turnings of human behavior are coolly and masterfully observed—proving Henry James to be a master of psychological insight as well as one of the finest prose stylists of modern English literature.From the Paperback edition.

Il primo romanzo breve della raccolta, "The turn of the screw", non mi è dispiaciuto, anche se anche in questo caso (come per "The Haunting of Hill House") ho preferito decisamente la serie di Mike Flanagan rispetto al libro che l'ha ispirata. "Washington Square" invece mi ha fatto passare la voglia di finire il libro.
I didn't mind the first short novel contained in the book, "The Turn of the Screw", but in this case too [...]

giulia.mosna [...] (like with "The Haunting of Hill House") I liked Mike Flanagans show much more than the book it was inspired from. "Washington Square", on the other hand, made me not want to finish the book. 9mo
iaietta Non sapevo ci fosse la serie! Me la guarderò 9mo
giulia.mosna @iaietta la serie ha un titolo diverso dal libro - "The Haunting of Bly Manor". Comunque consigliatissima, una delle mie serie preferite. 9mo

Listened on Audible - narrated by Emma Thompson. Riveting, weird, and creepy.
