Henry James, OM, son of theologian Henry James Sr., brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James, was an American-born author, one of the founders and leaders of a school of realism in fiction. He spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death. He is primarily known for a series of major novels in which he portrayed the encounter of America with Europe. His plots centered on personal relationships, the proper exercise of power in such relationships, and other moral questions. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allowed him to explore the phenomena of consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting.
James insisted that writers in Great Britain and America should be allowed the greatest freedom possible in presenting their view of the world, as French authors were. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators in his own novels and tales brought a new depth and interest to realistic fiction, and foreshadowed the modernist work of the twentieth century. An extraordinarily productive writer, in addition to his voluminous works of fiction he published articles and books of travel writing, biography, autobiography, and criticism,and wrote plays, some of which were performed during his lifetime with moderate success. His theatrical work is thought to have profoundly influenced his later novels and tales.
The narrator is a young governess, sent off to a country house to take charge of two orphaned children. She finds a pleasant house and a comfortable housekeeper, while the children are beautiful and charming. But she soon begins to feel the presence of intense evil.

评分这是一本心理恐怖小说:闹鬼的故事。 早在6、7年前,我就在图书馆翻过本书,04年的人民文学版。由于时间关系,只对书名很有印象,最终也没读成。这次出了新版,感谢多看赠阅,又让我想起这部“The Turn of the Screw”。 鉴于本书情节比较离奇,对其表达意图的解读也很多,在此...
评分《螺丝在拧紧》是一篇著名哥特小说的名字。以此标题为文集题目,国内出了个哥特中短篇小说的集子。 这本文集的序言告诉我们,哥特小说最流行的时候应该是上个世纪了。它诞生于十八世纪中叶,是一种风格独特的小说题材。“这种小说通常以古堡,废墟或荒野为背景,故事往往发生在...
评分写给未来的自己&造福全人类。 In the story of The Turn of the Screw, Henry James uses the perspective of a governess to disclose her haunting experience in a country home. In the beginning of the story, the governess was persuaded by the charming ow...
1898年出版,这种古早英语➕哥特鬼故事真的难读,已经看了好几天,依然是一打开看两页就想关上…//看完留言,越分析脑洞越大,之前想打3星来着现在直接五星!
评分本来以为就是哥特鬼故事谁知道那个年代的作家怎么会写出这么progressive/suggestive的书!!!对话间的张力看得我心服口服!!!
评分Henry James在营造气氛,这是最致命的。我承认我不是个很好的读者,理想情况下我应该安安心心地读完小说,然后玩味H.J的迂回和暧昧,思考他这么写的动机,努力忽略平淡细节之后爆炸性的情况下什么也没发现的失望之情。H.J故意不说,他的态度模糊不清,然而正因为不给我们一个明白的确定的俗世的解释,反而产生了巨大的力量。我执拗地想抓住他问个明白,家庭女教师看见的到底是鬼魂还是她心底某些因为情绪极具波动而产生的幻觉比如阿德拉小姐在马拉巴山洞里经历的一切一样,可是他闪烁其辞不肯正面回答,于是我只好继续回头寻找。
评分这个叙述方式真是让人头疼。因为读起来太费时了所以这故事一点都不可怕...加上因为年代久远而造成的脱离感,其实并不能感受到所谓的evil之类的, 就还好。
评分Is there ever, an "innocent" child? Oh so wickedy wicked! Apparitions or not, the purer souls are always the easier targets for corruption. Still trying to figure out if there is a moral, or, this serves merely as a gothic entertainment.
