"Henry James' great theme is the collision of cultures, of New World American energy encountering Old World European aristocracy; and his supreme skill is in the delineation of the unspoken subtleties that govern human interaction-- the meanings behind people's words, the delicate signals by which people communicate more than the conventions of conversation or society allow."
--Amazon.co.uk Review
"The American is built around a moral dilemma that dramatises this clash of cultures. Wealthy, open-hearted Christopher Newman (the New Man in the Old World) visits Paris and falls in love with impoverished French aristocrat, Claire de Cintre. However, her snobbish family bully her into breaking off the engagement. When Newman discovers that his former fiancée's family are hiding a dark secret, corrupt Old World morals suggest he should use it to take his revenge; but his simpler American sense tells him that this would be wrong. What should he do? The fine touch with which James explores the complexities of this scenario markes an extraordinary advance over his first novel, Roderick Hudson; and The American looks forward to the mature classics of James' middle period, books like Daisy Miller and Portrai t of a Lady--all novels that explore the classic Jamesian theme of Americans in Europe."

亨利·詹姆斯開創瞭心理分析小說的先河,他的筆下,齣現瞭仿佛是迷宮般的普通人的內心世界。在《鴿翼》(The Wings of the Dove,1902)中,他發掘瞭人物“最幽微,最朦朧”的思想和感覺,把“太空中跳動的脈搏”轉化成形象。
评分現在的美國人應該變化瞭吧
评分特價買的,希望今年把這一套都讀完。
评分幾場重要的婚禮未至,僵持的局麵使得該劇的劇情如溫吞水般乏善可陳,唯一可以調劑的就剩下小剝皮和小魷魚的重口味虐戀瞭,電視劇對這一對的處理不如原著那樣乾脆直接,每集都有那麼一段的SM戲碼,其實也沒什麼看頭。說到變態,就不得不說喬佛裏這個瘋王二代瞭,小混蛋竟然射殺瞭維斯特洛第一女神:蘿絲姐姐,她從臨鼕城的窮鄉僻壤混跡至君臨第一老鴇高級助手可謂不易,更不易的是戲份加瞭許多,但好像什麼都沒有做啊?原來隻是混臉熟。估計後期經濟人投錢不夠,編劇就讓她領便當瞭。
评分詹姆斯的主要作品是小說,此外也寫瞭許多文學評論、遊記、傳記和劇本。他的小說常寫美國人和歐洲人之間交往的問題;成人的罪惡如何影響並摧殘瞭純潔、聰慧的兒童;物質與精神之間的矛盾;藝術傢的孤獨,作傢和藝術傢的生活等:這錶明作傢對個人道德品質的濃厚興趣。
