«La muerte del león» is the short novel by Henry James, published by Compañía Europea de Comunicación e Información in paperback (93 pages, in Spanish).
Neil Paraday, an English writer in failing health, achieves fame just as his life begins to fade. High society turns him into a celebrity without showing any interest in his work, while a young journalist tries to protect him from that tide. Paraday reflects on the distance between the man and the writer, the emptiness of success, and the inevitability of fate.
Translation by Eduardo Lago. Volume 53 of the Biblioteca de El Sol collection, with cover by Ángel Uriarte. The original work, in English, was published in 1894.
For readers of classics of Anglo-Saxon literature and short stories about the literary world.
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.
