Omschrijving

Terminations is a collection of four short stories by the renowned American author, Henry James. The stories included in this book are The Death of the Lion, The Coxon Fund, The Middle Years, and The Altar of the Dead. In The Death of the Lion, James explores the theme of celebrity and the impact it has on individuals. The story follows the life of a successful writer who suddenly dies, leaving behind a legacy that his friends and colleagues struggle to come to terms with. The Coxon Fund is a story about a man who inherits a large sum of money and decides to use it to fund a scientific experiment. The story examines the relationship between science and art and the conflict that arises when the two are pitted against each other. The Middle Years is a deeply introspective story that follows the life of a middle-aged writer who feels that his best years are behind him. The story explores themes of aging and the fear of mortality, as the protagonist struggles to come to terms with his own mortality. Finally, The Altar of the Dead is a haunting story about a man who creates a shrine to the memory of his deceased loved ones. The story examines the themes of grief and loss, as the protagonist grapples with the idea of death and the afterlife. Overall, Terminations is a thought-provoking collection of stories that explore complex themes and emotions. James' masterful use of language and his ability to delve deep into the human psyche make this book a must-read for fans of classic literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
