Osborne's Revenge

By Henry James

Book Overview

Osborne's Revenge is a novel written by Henry James, a renowned American-British author. The story follows the life of a man named Osborne, who has been wronged by his former business partner, Roger Lawrence. Osborne is determined to seek revenge and ruin Lawrence's life, but his plans are complicated when he falls in love with Lawrence's daughter, Isabel. As Osborne struggles with his conflicting emotions, he becomes more and more consumed by his desire for revenge.The novel is set in London in the late 19th century and explores themes of love, betrayal, and revenge. James' writing style is known for its psychological depth and complex characters, and Osborne's Revenge is no exception. The novel is a gripping tale of passion and intrigue, and James' masterful storytelling will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.The reader will be at a loss to understand why Philip should have been disgusted with the mere foreshadowing on the part of another, of a scheme which, three weeks before, he had thought a very happy invention. For we may as well say outright, that although Mrs. Dodd was silly, she was not so silly but that she had divined his original intentions with regard to Henrietta. The fact is that in three weeks Philips humour had undergone a great change. The reader has gathered for himself that Henrietta Congreve was no ordinary girl, that she was, on the contrary, a person of distinguished gifts and remarkable character.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
