Krátky popis
'She found herself, for the first moment, looking at the mysterious
portrait through tears. Perhaps it was her tears that made it just
then so strange and fair ... the face of a young woman, all
splendidly drawn, down to the hands, and splendidly dressed ... And
she was dead, dead, dead'Emerging from the grit and stigma of
poverty to a life of fairytale privilege under the wing of her
aunt, the beautiful and financially ambitious Kate Croy is already
romantically involved with promising journalist Merton Densher when
they become acquainted with Milly Theale, a New York socialite of
immense wealth. Learning of Milly's mortal illness and passionate
attraction to Densher, Kate sets the scene for a romantic betrayal
intended to secure her lasting financial security. As the dying
Milly retreats within the carnival splendour of a Venetian palazzo,
becoming the frail hub of a predatory circle of fortune-seekers,
James unfolds a resonant, brooding tale of doomed passion,
betrayal, human resilience and remorse.
