책소개
Collected for the first time, an anthology of Henry James's witty and urbane European travel writings begins with the classic A Little Tour of France, continues with Italian Hours, and concludes with sixteen essays on other European locales.
Henry James’s travel writings are at once literary masterpieces, unsurpassed guidebooks and penetrating reflections on the international themes familiar from his fiction. This volume, the second of two, begins with the classic A Little Tour in France (1900), illustrated with Joseph Pennell’s exquisite drawings from the original edition. James begins his tour of the French countryside one rainy morning in mid-September of 1882, when he sets off for the city of Tours as a means of exploring the proposition that “though France might be Paris, Paris was by no means France.”
From Tours, Balzac’s birthplace, James travels to the great chateaux of the Loire Valley, visiting Chambord, Amboise, Chenonceaux, and Blois, where, as you cross the threshold, “you step straight into the sunshine and storm of the French Renaissance.” Dense with literary associations and historical echoes, James’s prose brings castles and cathedrals and old walled towns to life. In his glancingly precise visual evocations of terrain and cityscape, he realizes his ambition “to sketch without a palette or brushes.”
Henry James loved Italy, “a beautiful disheveled nymph” to England’s “good married matron.” The incisive and witty essays in Italian Hours (1909) describe memorably happy sojourns in Venice, Rome, and Florence, and excursions to Siena, Assisi, Perugia, Capri, Ravenna, and other Italian cities. “Nowhere do art and life seem so interfused” as in Venice, wrote James in celebration of the splendor of Venetian light and color, air, and history. He records his radiant impressions of Roman churches and aqueducts, museums and fountains, and rambles through the gardens of the Villa Borghese in spring, when Rome seems lighted “with an irresistible smile.” All these essays are filled with James’s intense pleasure in Italian places and people.
This volume concludes with sixteen essays on such varied places as Switzerland, Holland, Rheims, and the Pyrénées, including a memorable account of the American volunteer ambulance corps in Europe during World War One.

Reviews
“Few writing markets have expanded so dramatically as that of the travel guide. There are books in the hundreds ready to tell you where to eat, shop, sleep and be seen. I defy you to name any which will provide better company than these two have given me for the last fortnight. And yet the last piece was written in 1912 and the first in the 1860s.” — Los Angeles Times Book ReviewAbout the Author

헨리 제임스(지은이)
1843년 미국 뉴욕에서 태어났다. 일찍부터 런던, 파리, 제네바, 본 등 유럽의 주요 도시를 옮겨다니며 살면서 자연스레 ‘세계 시민’으로서의 국제적 감각을 익히게 되었다. 1862년 하버드대학교 법과대학에 입학하지만 문학에 전념하기로 결심하고 이듬해 중퇴한 후 1864년 첫 단편 「비극적인 오류」를 기점으로 문예지에 소설과 서평을 기고하며 작품활동을 시작했다. 1875년에 본격적인 첫 장편소설 『로더릭 허드슨』을 발표하고 유럽에 정착할 마음으로 파리에 가서 투르게네프, 플로베르, 졸라 등의 작가와 교유했다. 곧이어 런던으로 이주해 정착하고는 왕성한 활동을 이어갔다. 1878년 중편 「데이지 밀러」로 미국과 유럽에서 두루 호평받으며 입지를 다진 이래 『여인의 초상』 『비둘기의 날개』 『대사들』 『황금 주발』 등의 장편은 물론, 수많은 중단편과 희곡, 평론, 에세이를 남겼다. 1915년 영국인으로 귀화했고 이듬해 런던에서 72세를 일기로 타계했다. 작가 이력상 중기인 1886년에 발표한 『보스턴 사람들』은 페미니즘적 개혁을 향한 열망과 그 한계, 성역할을 둘러싼 갈등과 혼란을 예리하게 포착하며 당대 미국 사회를 입체적으로 조명한 역작이다. 여성운동에 투신한 올리브 챈슬러와 버리나 태런트, 보수적인 가치관을 지닌 변호사 배질 랜섬이 이루는 삼각관계를 통해 동성애와 이성애가 각축하는 욕망의 역학, 젠더 질서의 변화 가능성 등을 그려냈다는 점에서 시대를 앞선 통찰이 담긴 작품으로 재평가되며 오늘날 더욱 주목받고 있다.
