The Aspern Papers

One of James' best-known and most acclaimed longer tales, The Aspern Papers is based on an anecdote that James heard about a Shelley devotee who tried to obtain some valuable letters written by the poet. Set in a brilliantly described Venice, The Aspern Papers demonstrates James' ability to generate almost unbearable suspense while never neglecting the masterful development of his characters. -- Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

  • "De brieven van een Amerikaanse dichter aan zijn geliefde vormen de inzet van een machtsstrijd in Venetië tussen de stokoude geliefde en een bewonderaar van de overleden dichter."
  • "1800s Venice is the setting for this tale of greed and obsession: a crumbling, beautiful, mysterious place where the incredible becomes real and the strange is almost commonplace. In fervent pursuit of the letters written by a famous deceased poet to a former lover, the anonymous narrator becomes a lodger under a false name in the dilapidated palazzo of the woman and her spinster niece, in the hope of procuring his prize. The resulting clash of wills and cat-and-mouse games among the trio reveal the deepest motivations that drive human nature - and just how far is the narrator willing to go to get what he wants?"
  • "Un beau cas de monomanie. A Venise, un spécialiste d'Aspern est prêt à presque tout pour mettre la main sur les manuscrits inédits du célèbre poète anglais détenus par celle qui fut son grand amour. Ce livre est souvent décrit comme un ancêtre du roman à suspense. Intérêt littéraire et psychologique. Climat feutré: stratégie, componction, obstination et "bonnes manières.""
  • "Written in 1903, excellent novel that reflects the maturity of the author Henry James. It narrates the adventures of a couple of young journalists, restless, poor lovers, who go hunting for the news in the bustling early-century London. A series of apparently fatal consequences will ask them how far their investigations have triggered the events."
  • "La historia tiene su origen en una noticia que llego a oidos de Henry James cuando pasaba una temporada en Florencia: alli seguia viviendo Claire Clairmont, amante de Byron y amiga de Shelley, y cierto investigador habia intentado trabar amistad con esta anciana y su sobrina con el objetivo de obtener unas cartas privadas del poeta. Un joven editor y critico descubre que aun vive una de las musas y amantes de Jeffrey Aspern, idolatrado poeta sobre quien esta escribiendo un libro. La anciana senorita Bordereau vive encerrada en un palazzo veneciano con la onica compania de su sobrina Tina."

  • "Une nouvelle écrite d'après un fait divers réel : dans les années 1880, une ancienne maîtresse de Byron survit misérablement avec sa mère à Florence. Elle possède un trésor : la correspondance entre Shelley et Byron. Un critique d'art bostonien est intéressé et pour les récupérer, il va imaginer un stratagème qui va se retourner contre lui."
  • "The story of a love affair in the early 19th Century between a romantic poet, Jeffrey Aspern, and a beautiful young lady whom he called Julianna. The Aspern Papers is set late in the nineteenth century after Aspern has died. Julianna is a reclusive spinster who lives in seclusion with her niece, whose life is disrupted when an American comes to visit, searching for some valuable papers of Aspern's that were left to her."@en
  • "The Aspern Papers is a novella set in Venice. A young man travels to the city and takes lodgings with an old woman--the former lover of the dead American poet Aspern. The man believes the old woman still has some letters from Aspern and he ingratiates himself with her niece in an attempt to find them. Suspense builds around the motives and actions of James' masterfully drawn characters."@en
  • "Julianna and her niece are marking time in a villa in Venice. A literary editor obsessed with the work of a long-dead poet, Jeffry Aspern, comes into their lives to try to ferret out his papers."@en
  • ""Une vieille dame, Juliana Bordereau, vit en recluse dans un palais vénitien décrépi, avec sa nièce, Tita, une vieille fille qui lui est dévouée. D'une liaison qu'elle eut dans sa jeunesse avec le poète américain Aspern, Juliana conserve des documents qu'elle refuse de communiquer. Un jeune admirateur du poète s'introduit dans la demeure pour lui soustraire ses "papiers". Réussira-t-il à tromper les deux femmes, et à obtenir d'elles le trésor qu'il convoite et qu'elles gardent jalousement?"
  • "An American editor rents a room in Venice in the home of Juliana Bordereau, the elderly mistress of Jeffrey Aspern, a deceased Romantic poet, in order to procure from her the poet's papers."
  • "An American editor rents a room in Venice in the home of Juliana Bordereau, the elderly mistress of Jeffrey Aspern, a deceased Romantic poet, in order to procure from her the poet's papers."@en
  • "Assuming a false name, an American editor and critic travels to Venice, and insinuates himself as a lodger into the palace belonging to Juliana Bordereau. He believes that Juliana possesses papers and poems written to her by the long-dead poet Jeffrey Aspern, and while these papers have a monetary value, they also represent a great deal more to the narrator. Juliana is now an elderly lady who lives in "obscurity" with her spinster niece, Tita. Officially, to those who have sought unpublished Aspern material in the past, Juliana and Tita state that no such papers exist. The narrator takes rooms in the palace with no clear plan in mind--except to ascertain that the papers really exist, and to acquire them ... somehow."@en
  • "Dans un grand palais somptueux et délabré de Venise, chaque personnage avance masqué ou sous un nom d'emprunt, tandis que rôde le fantôme du poète disparu, Jeffrey Aspern, dont on se dispute sans merci les manuscrits, les souvenirs, jusqu'à la mémoire."
