«La lección del maestro» is the short novel by Henry James, published by Espasa in paperback (136 pages, in Spanish).
A celebrated writer, now in decline, advises a young disciple to renounce worldly pleasures if he aspires to literary immortality. Henry James explores the ambiguity of human relationships: admiration, envy, sacrifice and the price of art intertwine in an elegant, nuanced tale.
The Spanish translation is by Federico Corriente; the original title, «The Lesson of the Master», was published in 1888. It is part of the Espasa Narrativa collection.
For readers of classic fiction: Henry James, precursor of the modern psychological novel, offers a short nineteenth-century tale full of nuance.
Henry James was an American-British author. He is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of theologian Henry James Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.
