About the author
Henry James was an American-British author celebrated as a pivotal figure between literary realism and modernism, often regarded as one of the greatest novelists in the English language. Born on April 15, 1843, he was the son of Henry James Sr. and the brother of philosopher William James and diarist Alice James. Best known for his exploration of social and marital dynamics among émigré Americans and Europeans, his notable works include "The Portrait of a Lady," "The Ambassadors," and "The Wings of the Dove."
James delved into the complexities of human psychology, often portraying ambiguous motives, a technique likened to Impressionist painting. His novella "The Turn of the Screw" is renowned for its depth and ambiguity. In "The Point of View," James examines the subjective nature of perception, emphasizing how individual perspectives shape understanding and relationships. Through his rich narratives, he invites readers to reflect on the intricacies of human connection and the art of storytelling.
