The Portrait of a Lady is perhaps Henry James' greatest novel. It tells the story of Isabel Archer, a young American heiress who "affronts her destiny". Dealing with one of James' recurrent themes, the American in Europe, and the differences between the two cultures, The Portrait of a Lady is a tale of the conspiracy to separate Isabel from her fortune and the value of autonomy and accountability.
A pesar del autor quien es considerado un considerado un clasico, este libro deja mucho que desear, los personajes son endebles, con personalidades falsas mal maquilladas apenas creibles, la trama lenta y plana, el hilo conductor es absurdo. En resumen seria mas divertido leer un manual de una videocasetera beta.
Yeah, right. I know I should read this one. It's a classic and everything. And I enjoyed the movie. But it's a plodding mess. I very much doubt I'll read it any time soon: shame on me.
