Glasses (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161433128)

""Glasses"" is a short story written by the renowned American author, Henry James. The story revolves around the character of a young woman, Gertrude, who is visiting her aunt and uncle in the countryside. Gertrude is in possession of a pair of glasses that belong to her friend, Lady Bradeen, who is also staying nearby. Gertrude's aunt and uncle are curious about the glasses and speculate about their owner, leading to a series of misunderstandings and miscommunications. As the story unfolds, Gertrude's relationship with her aunt and uncle becomes increasingly strained, and she begins to feel isolated and misunderstood. Ultimately, the story explores themes of miscommunication, social class, and the complexities of human relationships. With its nuanced characters and insightful observations on human behavior, ""Glasses"" is a masterful work of fiction from one of America's greatest writers.It befell at this period, just before Christmas, that on my having gone under pressure of the season into a great shop to buy a toy or two, my eyes fleeing from superfluity, lighted at a distance on the bright concretion of Flora Saunt, an exhibitability that held its own even against the most plausible pinkness of the most developed dolls.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
