The American

Henry James

A clash of cultures and a love story unfold in this classic novel by Henry James. Follow the story of Christopher Newman, a self-made American millionaire, as he falls for a French aristocrat but faces rejection from her family due to his brash American manner. When Newman discovers a secret from the family's past, he faces a moral dilemma. This masterful work is a combination of social comedy, melodramatic romance, and a realistic look at societal norms.
