Kurzbeschreibung:

A young American woman searches for love and independence in Europe in this iconic tale.
Old World and New World values collide in this classic coming-of-age romance. A delicious comedy of manners from master storyteller Henry James, Daisy Miller has long reserved its place in the annals of America s most oft-read novellas, and its examination of culture and class differences continues to resonate today on both sides of the Atlantic.

Annie "Daisy Miller is a new-money American girl from Schenectady, New York, on a European tour with her family. While at an upper-crust lakefront retreat in Switzerland, Daisy s younger brother, Randolph, introduces her to the older, more refined Frederick Winterbourne, and the Swiss-educated man is stunned by Daisy s unique combination of naïveté and flirtatiousness. As rumors fly regarding Daisy s active nightlife and her suspect relationship with a young Italian man, Winterbourne chases her to Rome, his meddlesome aunt questioning the girl s breeding and propriety all the while.

Rich in complex characterizations and superb in its economies of form, Daisy Miller is a must-read for serious connoisseurs of American literature, who will appreciate how James renders such an expansive world within a relatively tight space. Written by a master of his craft, this novella is easily one of James s most beloved works, timeless in its approach to the complexities of the human heart.
