«The Turn of the Screw» is Henry James's gothic novel, published by Penguin Books in paperback (121 pages, in English).
A young governess arrives at an English country mansion to care for two orphaned children, Miles and Flora, and soon begins to see ghostly figures that seem intent on corrupting them. The novel maintains ambiguity: the specters could be real or a projection of the governess's mind, in an oppressive atmosphere that anticipates psychological terror.
Short novel originally published in 1898; this edition is part of the Penguin Popular Classics collection.
For readers of Victorian classics and ghost stories seeking an unsettling atmosphere and psychological ambiguity.
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.
