false <![CDATA[The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Fiction]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166512788m/12951.jpg 12951 20 To read a story by Henry James is to enter a world--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 <i>Nouvelles</i> --works which represent the author in both his early and late phases. From the apparitions of evil that haunt the governess in <i>The Turn Of The Screw</i> to the startling self-scrutiny of an egotistical man in <i>The Beast In The Jungle</i>, the mysterious tumings of human behavior are skillfully and coolly observed--proving Henry James to be a master of psychological insight as well as one of the finest stylists of modern English literature. 290355 1962 The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Fiction total:852|5:182|4:323|3:249|2:73|1:25| 852 3120 1266 90 509394 0451526066 9780451526069 61 8 The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Novels 3.66 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175373939m/509394.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/509394.The_Turn_of_the_Screw_and_Other_Short_Novels 1 2 false Wed Sep 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 15:54:32 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 27 13:37:00 -0800 2009 Screw!
