The result is a richly imagined study of an American heiress who turns away her suitors in an effort to first establish—and then protect—her independence. But Isabel’s pursuit of spiritual freedom collapses when she meets the captivating Gilbert Osmond. “James’s formidable powers of observation, his stance as a kind of bachelor recorder of human doings in which he is not involved,” writes Hortense Calisher, “make him a first-class documentarian, joining him to that great body of storytellers who amass what formal history cannot.” This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/413.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/413.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/413.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/413.mobi Under the Sunset Bram Stoker http://www.feedbooks.com/book/460 urn:isbn:1592249779 en 1881 Short Fiction This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/460.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/460.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/460.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/460.mobi Washington Square Henry James http://www.feedbooks.com/book/420 urn:isbn:0375761225 en 1881 Novels This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/420.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/420.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/420.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/420.mobi
