About this eBook

«El Eco» anticipa el tráfico de intimidades que será característico de nuestra época con una novela sagaz y formalmente ligera que él mismo definió como un «jeu d´esprit», pero donde el aire de comedia incuba disyuntivas espinosas y decisiones formidables. «No había nada que James hiciera como un inglés, ni tampoco como un norteamericano —ha escrito Gore Vidal—. Él mismo era su realidad, un nuevo mundo, una «terra incognita» cuyo mapa tardaría el resto de sus días en trazar para todos nosotros».

About the author

Henry James, American novelist and literary critic, was born in 1843 in New York City. Psychologist-philosopher William James was his brother. By the age of 18, he had lived in France, England, Switzerland, Germany, and New England. In 1876, he moved to London, having decided to live abroad permanently. James was a prolific writer; his writings include 22 novels, 113 tales, 15 plays, approximately 10 books of criticism, and 7 travel books. His best-known works include Daisy Miller, The Turn of the Screw, The Portrait of a Lady, The Ambassadors, and The American Scene. His works of fiction are elegant and articulate looks at Victorian society; while primarily set in genteel society, James subtlely explores class issues, sexual repression, and psychological distress. Henry James died in 1916 in London. The James Memorial Stone in Poet's Corner, Westminster Abbey, commemorates him.
