| Resumen: |
In The American, Henry James crafts a compelling story of an ambitious, wealthy American expatriate, Christopher Newman, who seeks to marry into European aristocracy. When Newman falls in love with the beautiful but mysterious Claire de Cintré, he faces the harsh realities of class, culture, and social expectations. As he navigates the complexities of European society, Newman’s self-assured confidence is tested by the moral and emotional intricacies of love, power, and identity. Rich in themes of American idealism clashing with European traditions, The American is a thought-provoking exploration of ambition, desire, and the often painful price of social acceptance. |
