James' notebook entry describes the title story of this collection as " a rank fantasy". This is a very funny fantasy, satirizing celebrities of all sorts including himself. The Wheel of Time is more serious, in fact it brought tears to my eyes more than once. Fanny Knockers Tregent has got to be one of James' outstanding achievements in feminine character portrayal - which is saying something. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

From "The Private Life" We talked of London, face to face with a great bristling, primeval glacier. The hour and the scene were one of those impressions which make up a little, in Switzerland, for the modern indignity of travel -- the promiscuities and vulgarities, the station and the hotel, the gregarious patience, the struggle for a scrappy attention, the reduction to a numbered state. The high valley was pink with the mountain rose, the cool air as fresh as if the world were young. There was a faint flush of afternoon on undiminished snows, and the fraternizing tinkle of the unseen cattle came to us with a cropped and sun-warmed odor. The balconied inn stood on the very neck of the sweetest pass in the Oberland, and for a week we had had company and weather. This was felt to be great luck, for one would have made up for the other had either been bad. . . . Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
