Reviews

The perfect novel for an introduction to Henry James. Roderick Hudson is a talented sculptor who is spirited off to Rome by the rich Rowland Mallet as a gesture to develop Hudson's art. A tragedy ensues brought about by Hudson's wilfulness, his transplantation from Massachusetts to Europe into a world of art which is alien and by Christina Light, the most beautiful young woman extant.
Henry James has produced a wonderful story, his most accessible yet, I believe.

Un libro con diversi livelli di lettura.
Forse ho letto quello che più mi intrigava e contestualizzandolo all'epoca in cui è stato scritto l'ho apprezzato molto.
Ha quel fascino immortale della sua epoca ed è uno dei must read per farsi una cultura sul genere.ù

Questa edizione di Nua è una nuova ed originale traduzione dell'edizione Penguin originale.
Un bel regalino per questo Halloween!

This was the first book I read with the book club. From what I remember, it was somewhat hard to follow. it does somewhat bring to light the difference in thinking of Americans and Europeans. It seems that James was making an effort to imitate Dickens. If so he picked a good one to imitate but did not do a good job in imitating him.
