The Beast in the Jungle: Large Print

By: James, Henry

James's subtle mastery of the art of fiction is nowhere more evident than in The Beast in the Jungle, regarded by many as his greatest achievement in short fiction, a gripping portrait of a man alienated from life and love. The author's uncanny ability to communicate the inner lives of his characters is also richly evident in The Jolly Corner and The Altar of the Dead, two superbly crafted tales that explore the complex interlacings of loss, love and the ever-present past in the lives of their protagonists.What determined the speech that startled him in the course of their encounter scarcely matters, being probably but some words spoken by himself quite without intention-spoken as they lingered and slowly moved together after their renewal of acquaintance. He had been conveyed by friends an hour or two before to the house at which she was staying; the party of visitors at the other house, of whom he was one, and thanks to whom it was his theory, as always, that he was lost in the crowd, had been invited over to luncheon.
