THE MASTER - COLM TÓIBÍN TASCHENBUCH

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize  'A triumph' - The Observer  'A masterly achievement' -
The Independent   In January 1895 Henry James anticipates the opening of his first play  Guy
Domville   in London. The production fails  and he returns  chastened and humiliated  to his
writing desk. The result is a string of masterpieces  but they are produced at a high personal
cost.  In The Master Colm Tóibín  author of Brooklyn and Long Island   captures the exquisite
anguish of a man who circulated in the grand parlours and palazzos of Europe  who was
astonishingly vibrant and alive in his art  and yet whose attempts at intimacy inevitably
failed him and those he tried to love. It is a powerful account of the hazards of putting the
life of the mind before affairs of the heart.   Part of the Picador Collection  a series
showcasing the best of modern literature.
