"Exemplifying Henry James's famous belief that ""Art makes life,"" The Lesson of the Master is a piercing study of the life that art makes. When the tale's protagonist a gifted young writer meets and befriends a famous author he has long idolized, he is both repelled by and attracted to the artist's great secret- the emotional costs of a life dedicated to art. With extraordinary psychological insight and devastating wit, the novella asks the question of whether art is, ultimately, demeaning or ennobling for the artist, while capturing the ambiguities of a life devoted to art, and the choices artists must make. The expatriate James knew these choice well by the time he published the novella in the Universal Review in 1888, and the work reveals him at the height of his powers."… (altro)

A very Henry James kind of story, though I stayed convinced of a different hidden motivation until there was no chance of it. Perhaps this could be best summed up as "Don't Meet Your Hero." Young writer Paul meets his idol, who tries to convince him of the best way to be an artist. Does he mean it or is it all a con? In the best way of Henry James, it is all blissfully obscure.

Despite fumbling over some of the more antiquated narrative devices, I found myself immediately invested in the plight of James's protagonist. And at the end of the novella I wondered what the true lesson was, which speaks the elegant rendering of these characters and the routes of the psychological quandaries of the artist.

This was my introduction to Henry James and certainly the beginning of a long relationship. The balance of ornate prose, confident narrative structure, and lovely empathy for his characters makes this one of the best pieces of fiction I have ever read. The plot is important, and it drives the work from beginning to end but what is so extraordinary is that it hinges of the reader's empathy to convey its point. On the surface, it could be told as a vaguely mean story about a young man duped, but compounded with James' grace the story lifts off into a serious meditation on the power discourse underlying celebrity, pedagogy, and the creation of art under capitalist conditions. There is so much to say about this expert piece of fiction (and so much of it lofty) yet the experience of reading was as thrilling as ever.

I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend this to anyone, especially if you haven't read anything by Henry James. I'm utterly floored. ( )

He had been told the ladies were at church, but this was corrected by what he saw from the top of the steps - they descended from a great height in two arms, with a circular sweep of the most charming effect - at the threshold of the door which, from the long bright gallery, overlooked the immense lawn.
