A timeless gothic novella, Henry James's The Turn of the Screw follows the transformation of Miles (age 10) and Flora (age 8) from well-behaved children to deceitful liars. When a governess comes to their country estate to look after the children, she and Flora are separately visited by ghosts. However, Flora denies the experience and Miles claims to never have been visited by one, even when evidence supports an evil plot between the children and the ghosts. Devoid of common ghost story stereotypes, this timeless story is full of suspense, supernatural phenomenon, and thrills to frighten and delight any listener.… (plus d'informations)

W-what the hell was that!!!!!?????!!!!!!!!
This felt like trying to read through Bourdieu’s incomprehensibly convoluted writing; I kept getting lost to no avail. Can’t seem to be able to draw my own conclusions because everything felt like a floating mess. Finishing this really felt as if I had just been exorcised.
I feel like I need a palate cleansing after this. ( )

The Turn of the Screw: Read this in prep. for seeing the newest adaption (there are at least a dozen already...) which is the 2020 “The Turning.”

Overall thoughts of the novella; We are left wondering if this is truly a ghost story or a story of a woman losing her mind. Perhaps a bit of both? Our unreliable narrator leaves us wondering what her true motives are in looking after these children. Does she truly care? Is she more after the man of the house’s heart? Are the ghosts real or has her mind run away from her in this manor of shadows and troublesome children? Overall enjoyed the story and the last chapter did have me holding my breath!

Won’t say much more as the story is so very short, but the scariest part of this is honestly the obsession that our main character has with the beauty of the children, Miles in particular. I’m just stepping foot into victorian era literature and their obsession with a beautiful face astounds me.

Just finished these two. I think I liked "The Turn of the Screw" best because it was a suspenseful ghost story and it really held my attention. I could never exactly figure out what "Daisy Miller" was about. Just a girl who was young and kind of naive and people didn't like it when she didn't go by their social rules. And it was only 90 pages, so I didn't really think it said too much -- at least not to me. ( )

Daisy Miller, el desparpajo y naturalidad de una americana en constraste con los duros modales europeos.
Otra vuelta de tuerca, un misterio aterrador en una casa con dos niños huerfanos que siguen viendo a sus antiguos cuidadores muertos. ( )

The story had held us, round the fire, sufficiently breathless, but except the obvious remark that it was gruesome, as, on Christmas eve in an old house, a strange tale should essentially be, I remember no comment uttered till somebody happened to say that it was the only case he had met in which such a visitation had fallen on a child.

This work contains both The Turn of the Screw and Daisy Miller, both by Henry James. It should not be combined with either individual work; work-to-work relationships exist for that information.
