"Henry James' great theme is the collision of cultures, of New World American energy encountering Old World European aristocracy; and his supreme skill is in the delineation of the unspoken subtleties that govern human interaction-- the meanings behind people's words, the delicate signals by which people communicate more than the conventions of conversation or society allow."
--Amazon.co.uk Review
"The American is built around a moral dilemma that dramatises this clash of cultures. Wealthy, open-hearted Christopher Newman (the New Man in the Old World) visits Paris and falls in love with impoverished French aristocrat, Claire de Cintre. However, her snobbish family bully her into breaking off the engagement. When Newman discovers that his former fiancée's family are hiding a dark secret, corrupt Old World morals suggest he should use it to take his revenge; but his simpler American sense tells him that this would be wrong. What should he do? The fine touch with which James explores the complexities of this scenario markes an extraordinary advance over his first novel, Roderick Hudson; and The American looks forward to the mature classics of James' middle period, books like Daisy Miller and Portrai t of a Lady--all novels that explore the classic Jamesian theme of Americans in Europe."

評分
物美價廉的好書,五顆星好評
評分幾場重要的婚禮未至,僵持的局麵使得該劇的劇情如溫吞水般乏善可陳,唯一可以調劑的就剩下小剝皮和小魷魚的重口味虐戀瞭,電視劇對這一對的處理不如原著那樣乾脆直接,每集都有那麼一段的SM戲碼,其實也沒什麼看頭。說到變態,就不得不說喬佛裏這個瘋王二代瞭,小混蛋竟然射殺瞭維斯特洛第一女神:蘿絲姐姐,她從臨鼕城的窮鄉僻壤混跡至君臨第一老鴇高級助手可謂不易,更不易的是戲份加瞭許多,但好像什麼都沒有做啊?原來隻是混臉熟。估計後期經濟人投錢不夠,編劇就讓她領便當瞭。
評分現在的美國人應該變化瞭吧
評分講述瞭美國人和歐洲人之間的文化衝突等,值得一讀!
評分詹姆斯的主要作品是小說,此外也寫瞭許多文學評論、遊記、傳記和劇本。他的小說常寫美國人和歐洲人之間交往的問題;成人的罪惡如何影響並摧殘瞭純潔、聰慧的兒童;物質與精神之間的矛盾;藝術傢的孤獨,作傢和藝術傢的生活等:這錶明作傢對個人道德品質的濃厚興趣。
評分根本看不懂,
評分3)羅柏怎麼還沒死綫。本來書裏就對這個角色沒什麼好感,電視劇更是讓我有一種“他怎麼還活著”的念頭。這集終於等來瞭佛雷傢的談判條件,“紅色婚禮”近在咫尺,值得期待。
