Reseña del libro "The Ambassadors (en Inglés)"

The Ambassadors, novel by Henry James, published in 1903. James considered it his best novel, and in the character of Lambert Strether, a middle-aged New Englander confronted with the social and aesthetic attractions of a beguiling Paris, he brought to perfection his style of first-person narrative. Strether, the "eye" of the story, is a Massachusetts editor engaged to the widowed Mrs. Newsome. Disturbed by reports concerning her son Chadwick's love life in Paris, Mrs. Newsome presses Strether to engineer the young man's return to his mother's sphere of influence. The Chad that Strether finds is, to his mind, an improvement over the former one, although the nature of his relationship with Marie de Vionnet, a few years his senior, and her young daughter Jeanne remains indeterminate. Strether's "investigations" proceed slowly with the aid of Miss Gostrey, an expatriate friend of the Vionnets. By the time the impatient Mrs. Newsome sends the Pococks (her daughter, son-in-law, and the son-in-law's sister Mamie, Chad's fiancée) as reinforcements, her son has voiced compliance, but Strether has now fallen under the Vionnets' spell. His discovery of Chad and Marie's affair is considered one of the sublime revelations in American literature. The Pococks eventually defer to Chad regarding the direction of his own future. He heeds Strether's advice to remain in Paris.
