The Master

\x26ldquo;Colm T\x26#243;ib\x26#237;n\x26rsquo;s beautiful, subtle illumination of Henry James\x26rsquo;s inner life\x26rdquo; (The New York Times) captures the loneliness and hope of a master of psychological subtlety whose forays into intimacy inevitably fail those he tried to love. Beautiful and profoundly moving, The Master tells the story of Henry James, a man born into one of America\x26#8217;s first intellectual families who leaves his country in the late nineteenth century to live in Paris, Rome, Venice, and London among privileged artists and writers. With stunningly resonant prose, \x26#8220;The Master is unquestionably the work of a first\-rate novelist: artful, moving, and very beautiful\x26#8221; (The New York Times Book Review). The emotional intensity of this portrait is riveting.
