Publisher's Synopsis
Henry James was an American author who contributed greatly to literary realism in the 19th century. James eventually settled in England and his books often described Americans living in Europe. With classics such as Daisy Miller, The Turn of the Screw, and The Portrait of a Lady, James is still one of the most widely read authors today. The Beast in the Jungle tells the story of John Marcher, a man who is reacquainted with a woman who knows his secret.
