"Written in 1895, The Death of the Lion tells the story of an author who undertakes to write the obituary of a great editor who has just passed away. Henry James' deep psychological probing and strong descriptions make this book a classic."@en
"In the almost-novella-length short story ""The Death of the Lion, "" literary giant Henry James pokes sardonic fun at the vagaries of literary fame. The author at the center of the tale, one Neil Paraday, is gushingly praised by the newspapers and journals -- but very few of his admirers seem to have actually read his work. It''s a thought-provoking look at the celebrity culture of the turn of the twentieth century."@en
"Neil Paraday is an English writer of very poor health, following his rise to a position of late celebrity, is absorbed by the aspiration and desire of high society to rub shoulders with an intellectual figure. So make it a cult without even bothering to know his work. The writer has a young journalist so eager to protect him as unable to resist the torrent overwhelms him. Between these two forces stood Paraday, writer-man, who experiences the inevitability of fate and through which the author reflects on the writer's craft."
