The Turn of the Screw

Descripción
Step into a shadowed realm where nothing is as it seems, and reality dances on the edge of illusion.

Told through the eyes of a young governess, the story plunges readers into a haunting world of eerie whispers, mysterious children, and a sinister country estate. But is the darkness external—or does it lie within the human mind? James's novella is not just a ghost story; it is a psychological puzzle that invites endless debate. The genius of The Turn of the Screw lies in its refusal to offer clear answers, leaving readers questioning the nature of truth, sanity, and the power of perception.

Sobre el autor:
Henry James (1843–1916) was a literary pioneer whose works explored the depths of human psychology and the clash of cultures. Born in New York City to a wealthy, intellectual family, James grew up surrounded by books, travel, and stimulating ideas. His childhood was marked by extensive travels in Europe, which laid the foundation for his enduring fascination with the Old World. James's writing career began with short stories and novels that blended his American roots with his European sensibilities. His works often focus on Americans abroad, grappling with foreign traditions and moral dilemmas. Among his best-known novels are The Portrait of a Lady, The Wings of the Dove, and The Ambassadors, where intricate character studies unfold against a backdrop of social expectations and unspoken desires. What sets James apart is his mastery of psychological realism. His prose dives deep into the inner lives of his characters, capturing their struggles with perception, identity, and self-awareness. While his dense, elegant style has challenged many readers, it has also cemented his status as a literary icon. An expatriate for most of his life, James became a British citizen in 1915, expressing solidarity during World War I. His legacy remains a bridge between two continents, offering timeless insights into the complexities of the human experience.
