Dom na placu Waszyngtona

by: Henry James (author)

3.17 15

Katarzyna, osierocona przez matkę przy urodzeniu, jest mało atrakcyjna i zakompleksiona, w czym utwierdza ją okrutny ojciec. Gdy pojawia się przystojny i subtelny Maurycy, Katarzyna zakochuje się... Czy Maurycy kocha ją naprawdę, czy – jak uważa jej surowy ojciec – jest tylko łowcą posagów?
Niezapomniana historia miłosna z akcją w XIX-wiecznym Nowym Jorku, stylowo opisana przez wielkiego pisarza, była wielokrotnie przenoszona na ekran. M.in. w latach 1940. przez Williama Wylera (oscarowa „Dziedziczka” z Olivią de Havilland) i niedawno przez Agnieszkę Holland.

Marvelous tale..., wonderful, rich writing... the characterization quite brilliant.(The audible is rather uneven in quality, but I got used to it in the end)

I added Washington Square to my project fill in the gaps list because I wanted to read something by Henry James and this had an intriguing synopsis and was a little shorter than some of his other books. I read it a few days ago to get in some last minute classic reading before the end of the year. I...

Hands down, my favorite Henry James book. I am not a big fan of authors, particularly American, during that time period, but have always enjoyed this book on many, many levels.

I love Henry James. Sometimes, I want to reach into the story and smack some of the women. The story is beautifully told. A must read for lovers of language.
