«The Master» is the historical novel by Colm Tóibín, published by Picador in paperback (368 pages, in English).
The narrative begins in January 1895, when Henry James awaits the premiere of his first play, Guy Domville, in London; the failure of the production returns him to writing. Tóibín portrays the writer among the salons of Europe, his failed attempts at intimacy, and the human cost of a vocation that relegates affections.
The novel was a finalist for the Man Booker Prize 2004 and won the Dublin Literary Award in 2006. It is volume 73 of the Picador Classic collection.
A novel for readers of historical and literary fiction and for those who want to approach the figure of Henry James.
Colm Tóibín is an Irish novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist, critic, playwright and poet.
