Synopsis
What Maisie Knew is a novel by Henry James. It tells the story of the sensitive daughter of divorced, irresponsible parents. The book is also a masterly technical achievement by James, as it follows the title character from earliest childhood to precocious maturity. When Beale and Ida Farange are divorced, the court decrees that their only child, the very young Maisie, will shuttle back and forth between them, spending six months of the year with each. The parents are immoral and frivolous, and they use Maisie to intensify their hatred of each other. Beale Farange marries Miss Overmore, Maisie's pretty governess, while Ida marries the likeable but weak Sir Claude. Maisie gets a new governess: the frumpy, somewhat-ridiculous but devoted Mrs. Wix. Henry James (1843–1916) was an American-British writer who spent most of his writing career in Britain. He is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In 'What Maisie Knew, ' Henry James crafts a poignant narrative exploring the fragmented reality of childhood through the eyes of prepubescent Maisie Farange. The novel employs a stream-of-consciousness style, deftly capturing the complexities of perception and emotional disillusionment as Maisie navigates the turbulent waters of her parents' divorce. Rich in psychological depth, the text reflects contemporary themes of social decay and the intricacies of adult relationships, situating Maisie's experiences against the backdrop of late 19th-century British society's moral ambiguities and shifting social landscapes. Henry James, a pivotal figure in literary modernism, often drew from his own transcontinental upbringing and keen observations of human behavior, providing him with a unique perspective on the intricacies of interpersonal dynamics. 'What Maisie Knew' stands as a testament to his fascination with innocence lost, as well as the bewildering complexities of adult life that encroach on the purity of childhood. His literary career, marked by a profound exploration of psychological realism and moral complexity, strongly influences the narrative voice in this particular work. This unabridged edition is recommended for readers seeking an introspective journey through the nuances of perception and the ramifications of adult decisions on innocents. James' masterful prose not only invites deep contemplation but also aligns seamlessly with current themes in psychology and sociology, making the novel a critical read for anyone interested in understanding the lasting impact of familial relationships on the formation of identity.
