The Wheel Of Time (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419187704)

The Wheel of Time is a novel written by the renowned author Henry James. The book is a complex and intricate exploration of the human psyche, delving deep into the themes of love, power, and the passage of time. The story revolves around the character of Kate Croy, a young woman who is torn between her desire for social status and her love for a poor journalist named Merton Densher.As the plot unfolds, Kate becomes embroiled in a complex web of relationships and power struggles, as she struggles to balance her own desires with the expectations of society. Along the way, she is forced to confront the harsh realities of life, including the inevitability of death and the fleeting nature of human relationships.Despite its complex themes and intricate plot, The Wheel of Time is a beautifully written and deeply moving novel. James' prose is elegant and precise, and his characters are vividly drawn and fully realized. The book is a true masterpiece of literature, and remains one of the most beloved works of the 19th century.The youngest person present, before the ladies came in, was the young man who had sat next to Vera and whom, being on the same side of the long table, he had not had under his eye. Maurice noticed him now, noticed that he was very good-looking, fair and fresh and clean, impeccable in his straight smoothness; also that apparently knowing none of the other guests and moving by himself about the studio with visible interest in the charming things, he had the modesty of his age and of his position.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
