Krátky popis
One of the great heroines of American literature, Isabel Archer,
journeys to Europe in order to, as Henry James writes in his 1908
Preface, “affront her destiny.” James began The Portrait of a Lady
without a plot or subject, only the slim but provocative notion of
a young woman taking control of her fate. 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.”
