The Ambassadors

Lambert Strether, a middle-aged American, is tasked with persuading his wealthy fiancé's son, Chad Newsome, to return home from Paris and assume his responsibilities in the family business. However, Strether's mission takes an unexpected turn as he becomes enchanted by the sophistication and allure of Parisian society, questioning his own values and beliefs in the process.
Set against the backdrop of Paris in the late 19th century, The Ambassadors explores themes of identity, desire, and the complexities of human relationships. With its richly drawn characters and elegant prose, it stands as a timeless exploration of the human condition and remains a cornerstone of Henry James' literary legacy.

HENRY JAMES [1843 -1916] was born in New York but emigrated to Europe early in life. He is one of the most important figures in Anglo-Saxon turn-of-the-century literature, with novels such as The American [1877] and the horror novel The Turn of the Screw [1898].
