Henry James

Glasses Henry James

- This version of Glasses includes a biography of the author Henry James at the end of the book
- This includes life before and after the release of the book Flora Louise Saunt is an orphaned young lady, but is so beautiful that she turns heads wherever she goes and counts on her beauty to attain security as the wife of young Lord Iffield, one of many who has fallen under her enchantment. Another is the narrator, a painter who could not resist portraying her multiple times and who becomes her confidant in the one difficulty she seems to have - she does not see well and her eyes seem to be seriously worsening. Lest I should endanger someone else's enjoyment, I will desist in synopsizing this very touching tale which, unlike many other of James' masterpieces, actually ends quite happily - and with a very astute use of Wagner's Lohengrin in its brilliantly executed climactic scene.
