À propos de ce contenu audio

Wealthy Maggie Verver has everything she could ever ask for - except a husband and a title. While in Italy, acquiring art for his museum back in the States, Maggie’s millionaire father, Adam, decides to remedy this and acquire a husband for Maggie.

Enter Prince Amerigo, of a titled but now poor aristocratic Florentine family. Amerigo is the perfect candidate. Delighted, Maggie then reciprocates by choosing a partner for her widower father: childhood friend Charlotte Stant. The stage is set, and what unfolds is a deep and gripping exploration of fidelity and the politics of love and marriage.

Published in 1904, The Golden Bowl displays Henry James at his finest: James weaves scene upon scene, set piece upon set piece, into a seamless whole, through a richly dense tapestry of beautiful, flowing prose. Along with The Ambassadors and The Wings of the Dove, it constitutes James’ final and most rewarding phase as a novelist.

    Despite my critical tone, I enjoyed the book, which is perfectly read. Maybe it’s because I was proud to prove able to listen to such an English book up to the end. It is far from being captivating and this is the reason why it took me months to finish it. The slowness is intentional, as if Henry James were describing very precisely the scenes and dialogues of a film. Do not read the following if you intend to buy the book, it would spoil the very limited suspense the book might provide. This is the story, written by a man, of how a woman should behave if her husband lied to her concerning his previous relation to her best girlfriend. Maggie is trapped but she is supposed to behave marvellously (i.e. as women should behave in order to meet the expectations of men) on behalf of her father! I would never have dreamed of anybody (man or woman) dealing as she does with such a situation. Until the end I hoped that Charlotte would leave them all (father, daughter and the hollow Prince) and have a wonderful life on her own!

    Very slow but instructive if you want to improve your English
