Well written and tight because it was short! ( ) As for the quality of writing, Henry James always comes through. It's always beautiful. Though in this collection of stories, I found his sentences, on the whole, quite long, knotty, and tangled, requiring re-reading at times. As for the stories themselves, ghosts and the supernatural are not exactly my cup of tea, especially the title story - didn't care for it at all. Still, Henry James remains superb in his power of description. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Whether viewed as a subtle, self-conscious exploration of the haunted house of Victorian culture, filled with echoes of sexual and social unease, or simply as "the most hopelessly evil story we have ever read," The Turn of the Screw is probably the most famous of ghostly tales and certainlythe most eerily equivocal. This new edition includes three rarely reprinted ghost stories from the 1890s, "Sir Edmund Orme," "Owen Wingrave," and "The Friends of the Friends," as well as relevant extracts from James's notebooks and journals.
