    About this ebook

    Генри Джеймс (1843 –1916) — американский писатель и литературный критик. Поздний период его творчества — к которому относятся в том числе заглавные рассказы этого сборника — характеризуется замысловатым и неординарным стилем повествования. Длинные витиеватые предложения имитируют течение устной речи, по спирали единого мотива уводя читателя к центру смыслового водоворота.
    Сборник включает два рассказа Генри Джеймса: «The Beast in the Jungle» и «The Figure in the Carpet». В центре каждого из них находится персонаж, одержимый идеей: один живет в предчувствии катастрофы, которая должна разрушить его жизнь; второй ищет разгадку тайны, спрятанную между строк романов.
    Рассказы публикуются на английском языке без адаптации и сокращений.
