Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Daisy Miller is Henry James' sharpest critique of European high society and a must read for lovers of psychological drama, social deconstruction, and classic literature.The titular Daisy Miller is a woman whose genuine kindness and lust for life is anathema to the rigid and vain culture of 19th Century Europe. For refusing to conform, Daisy is the subject of gossip everywhere she goes and eventually cast out of high society all together, culminating in a midnight visit to the Colosseum that would prove to be fatal. The narrative is a cutting reminder of the costs of ostracization and the importance of varied perspectives in a healthy society. The book raises many questions that will resonate with modern readers: Who loses when decorum and morality become rigid How does a culture that values outward appearance over inward virtue treat those that don't conform How can two cultures, each with their own sense of morality, possibly coexist All of these questions and their convoluted and often contradictory answers are handled effortlessly by James as he weaves a story suffused with moral tension, emotional trauma, and personal betrayal.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
