A master of American literature presents a tragicomic, coming-of-age romance. Set in New York against the backdrop of 1880s high society, Washington Square is one of the most beloved novels from master Henry James, and its exploration of interfamily strife and power dynamics, as well as its early take on gender issues, continue to resonate with readers today. Catherine Sloper is the only child of the successful Dr. Austin Sloper, residing with the physician in an upscale home on the edge of Washington Square in New York City. Shy and plain, yet honest and good-natured, Catherine is regarded as a perpetual disappointment by her father, who becomes suspicious of her young fortune-hunting suitor, Morris Townsend. As snooping Aunt Lavinia Penniman works to push Catherine and Townsend together—and provides some much appreciated comic relief—Catherine’s father threatens to cut his daughter off if she pushes forward with the courtship and accepts Townsend’s ultimate proposal of marriage. However, the dashing Townsend is willing to take the bluff, and Catherine’s future hangs on what has become a game. And while Dr. Sloper has reason to question Townsend’s intentions, the situation soon takes on an aspect of cruel sport for the good doctor. Based on a true story told to the author by British actress Fanny Kemble, Washington Square has become a cherished favorite of readers everywhere. Originally serialized in magazines, it is one of the shorter novels in the Jamesian canon, but nevertheless stands as one of the writer’s most enduring tragicomedies and the perfect introduction to the novelist and his work. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Seven men tell their stories of survival on the streets of 1980s New York City in this gritty debut novel by the National Book Award–finalist. Like most New Yorkers, Johnny B. Goode hustles to make a living. His beat happens to be pharmaceutical distribution. His place of business, Washington Square Park. Over the course of one weekend, he and his crew of “retailers” sell their product to students, businessmen, tourists, drifters, and lowlifes, while evading the law and outmaneuvering the competition. It’s a fragile balance that avant-garde saxophonist and all-around nuisance Porco Miserio threatens to upend with his big mouth. As Johnny B. and his crew scramble to maintain their embattled existence, each relates their personal story of life on the fringes of Greenwich Village. Among them are Yusuf Ali, the NBA-sized Muslim whose profession is at odds with his faith; Holy Mother, Johnny B.’s boyhood friend and former Mafia hitman; and Santa Barbara, the Puerto Rican Santeria practitioner who has been deeply spooked. Authentic and original, the chorus of voices captures the streets of New York in all its widescreen splendor and punishing blight. An “atmospherically electric . . . Winning debut,” The Washington Square Ensemble introduced a prodigiously gifted new novelist to American readers (Kirkus Reviews). “The most exotic bunch of sweet characters since some of Jack Kerouac’s ‘holy angels’ first came alive in print.” —Los AngelesHerald Examiner

Er liebt sie, er liebt sie nicht, er liebt sie, er liebt sie nicht ... Selten waren Herzensangelegenheiten undurchsichtiger als in diesem Roman. «Washington Square», eines von James’ bekanntesten und beliebtesten Werken, offenbart dessen Meisterschaft in der Analyse menschlicher Abgründe. Die vorliegende Neuübersetzung erschließt die komplexe, anspielungsreiche Sprachwelt des Autors und ermöglicht endlich auch im Deutschen höchsten Lesegenuss. Catherine Sloper ist ein schüchternes, in jeder Hinsicht blasses Mädchen – und eine der besten Partien New Yorks. Als ihr der attraktive Abenteurer Morris Townsend den Hof macht, geht sie bereitwillig auf sein Werben ein. Doch Catherines Vater, zugleich der Verwalter ihres Vermögens, vermutet in Townsend einen Mitgiftjäger und will eine Heirat um jeden Preis verhindern. Hin- und hergerissen zwischen kindlichem Pflichtgefühl und dem Wunsch nach Selbstbehauptung, ringt Catherine um eine Entscheidung. Hin- und hergerissen ist auch der Leser, denn über die wahren Motive aller Beteiligten – des verarmten Bräutigams in spe, der ebenso naiven wie geschmeichelten Braut, des in seiner Autorität verletzten Brautvaters, der sein Vermögen einst selbst durch Heirat erworben hatte – lässt uns Henry James bewusst im Unklaren.
