About this book
A novella by Henry James exploring the life of John Marcher, who is convinced an extraordinary fate awaits him, and the woman who waits alongside him. Suitable for readers of psychological fiction and those interested in James's late style and themes of missed experience. One note on the "First published: 1997" field: this date is almost certainly wrong for the work itself. *The Beast in the Jungle* was written by Henry James and first published in 1903; a 1997 date would refer to a particular later edition or reprint, not the original publication. I've written the description around the work as established, but you may want to correct that field in your catalogue record.

Henry James

Henry James was an American-British author. He is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of theologian Henry James Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.
