Travelling Companions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162714462)

Travelling Companions is a novel by the renowned American author, Henry James. First published in 1870, the book tells the story of two young women, Caroline and Grace, who embark on a journey across Europe. The two women are very different in personality and background, with Caroline being a wealthy and sophisticated American, and Grace a more reserved and modest Englishwoman.As they travel together, the two women encounter a range of interesting characters and situations, including a handsome Italian count, a mysterious Frenchman, and a group of bohemian artists in Rome. Along the way, Caroline and Grace must navigate their own complex relationship, as they struggle to understand each other's motivations and desires.Travelling Companions is a classic example of James' signature style, which is characterized by his meticulous attention to detail and his exploration of the psychological complexities of his characters. The book is also notable for its vivid descriptions of European cities and landscapes, which give readers a sense of the beauty and grandeur of the continent in the 19th century.Overall, Travelling Companions is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of friendship, identity, and cultural difference. It is a must-read for fans of Henry James and anyone interested in the literature of the Victorian era.AT the end of my three days probation, I spent a week constantly with my friends. Our mornings were, of course, devoted to churches and galleries, and in the late afternoon we passed and repassed along the Grand Canal or betook ourselves to the Lido. By this time Miss Evans and I had become thoroughly intimate; we had learned to know Venice together, and the knowledge had helped us to know each other. In my own mind, Charlotte Evans and Venice had played the game most effectively into each others hands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
