The Reverberator (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419180477)

The Reverberator is a novel by the renowned American author, Henry James. The story is set in Paris, and it revolves around the lives of two American journalists, George Flack and Francie Dosson. George is a hardworking and ambitious reporter, while Francie is a wealthy and beautiful young woman who has recently arrived in Paris with her mother. George is determined to get a scoop on the Dosson family, and he uses his charm and wit to gain access to their inner circle. However, his plan backfires when his articles about the Dossons cause a scandal in Parisian society. The Reverberator is a sharp and witty satire of the media and its impact on society. James explores themes of truth, morality, and the power of the press. The novel is a must-read for fans of Henry James and anyone interested in the history of journalism.None the less Charles Waterlow, who thought he had charming parts, held that the best way hadn't been taken to make a man of him, and the zeal with which the painter appeared to have proposed to repair that mistake was founded in esteem, though it sometimes flowered in freedom. Waterlow combined in odd fashion many of the forms of the Parisian studio with the moral and social ideas of Brooklyn Long Island, where the seeds of his strictness had been sown.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
