Sobre el libro The Golden Bowl de Henry James publicado por Oxford al 2009:

In this, the last of his three great poetic masterpieces, James combined with a dazzling virtuosity elements of social comedy, of mystery, terror, and myth. The Golden Bowl is the most controversial, ambiguous, and sophisticated of James´s novels.
