Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:
Ein Mädchen auf Grand Tour durch Europa
Der bereits lange in der Schweiz lebende 27-jährige Frederick Winterbourne begegnet während eines Besuches bei seiner Tante in Vevey der Amerikanerin Daisy Miller, die mit ihrer Mutter und ihrem Bruder Europa bereist. Er ist sofort von dem fröhlichen, redegewandten und furchtlosen Mädchen eingenommen, doch seine Tante missbilligt das ungebührliche Verhalten des Mädchens aufs äußerste.
Gert Westphal liest die Novelle über eine unmögliche Liebesbeziehung zwischen einer jungen Amerikanerin und einem Mann europäischer Prägung mit hinreißender Leichtigkeit.

Excellent
I read this during a trip to the grand hotels along the Lake Geneva waterfront in Vevey and Montreux, Switzerland, where Henry James set this work. He is an exquisite portraitist, able to conjure up just the right collection of details, internal and external, to make the characters come alive, even though the world of manners, money, and rigid sexual morals has since become almost unrecognizable. The cruelty of social condemnation, especially of those trying to make it into the circle of the accepted wealthy, the urge to marry and marry well, has been the theme of so many works that it's amazing there is anything much at all original left to say. But James repeatedly surprises in this arena.
Another unsatisfying ending from Henry James
Now that I have read a handful of Henry James tomes I am beginning to believe that he is not the author for me. He writes well, and the story is interesting, but I am just getting tired of never having a satisfying ending to one of his stories. Perhaps he took a perverse pleasure in twists and turns of plot, especially at the end. If you want the standard formulaic happy ending, Henry James is not your author. I dont have a problem with an unexpected ending, but I get tired of never feeling satisfied by the "turn" of the story. Just my 2 cents. I'm not saying I will never read another Henry James novel, but probably not for a long time.
in good
just what I ordered, in good shape
