The Ambassadors is a novel by American author Henry James, published in 1903. Considered by James himself to be his best work, the story follows Lambert Strether, a middle-aged idealist, on his journey to Paris to persuade Chad Newsome to return home and take over the family business. However, Strether is captivated by the charm of Europe and begins to question his own convictions and values. The novel explores themes such as innocence, experience, freedom, and responsibility, and offers a profound reflection on the cultural differences between the United States and Europe.
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.
