Henry James

Henry James (1843-1916) was an American author of novels, short stories, plays, and non-fiction. He spent most of his life in Europe, and much of his work regards the interactions and complexities between American and European characters. Among his works in this vein are The Portrait of a Lady (1881), The Bostonians (1886), and The Ambassadors (1903). Through his influence, James ushered in the era of American realism in literature. In his lifetime he wrote 12 plays, 112 short stories, 20 novels, and many travel and critical works. He was nominated three times for the Noble Prize in Literature.

Reviews for The Wheel Of Time

[elle shushan · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Lovely book - which we all know. But, at the end of every chapter (and the chapters are short) and the beginning of the next chapter we are forced to listen to LibriVox tell us that it has been read by the LibriVox community, the book is in the public domain, the name of the reader, the location of the reader, how to volunteer with the LibriVox community - unending. And - the app does not permit you to fast-forward through the continual droning on and on and on. I deleted the book at chapter 10. I will never ever listen to another LibriVox book.

I think this is an excellent LibriVox recording. I don't think it's James' most interesting read.
