THE GOLDEN BOWL - HENRY JAMES KARTONIERT (TB)

A new edition of Henry James's searing study of marriage and Infidelity   Set in England  The
Golden Bowl is Henry James's highly charged exploration of adultery  jealousy  and possession
that continues and challenges James's characteristic exploration of the battle between American
innocence and European experience. Maggie Verver  a young American heiress  and her widowed
father  Adam  lead a life of wealth and refinement in London. They are both getting married:
Maggie to Prince Amerigo  an impoverished Italian aristocrat  and Adam to the beautiful but
penniless Charlotte Stant. But both father and daughter are unaware that their new conquests
share a secret - one for which all concerned must pay the price. This story completes what
critics have called the "major phase" of James?s career.  For more than seventy years  Penguin
