Daisy Miller

De: Henry James

Narrado por: Sharon Plummer

Daisy Miller is a novella by Henry James that first appeared in Cornhill Magazine in June–July 1878, and in book form the following year. It portrays the courtship of the beautiful American girl Daisy Miller by Winterbourne, a sophisticated compatriot of hers. His pursuit of her is hampered by her own flirtatiousness, which is frowned upon by the other expatriates when they meet in Switzerland and Italy.

Annie "Daisy" Miller and Frederick Winterbourne first meet in Vevey, Switzerland, in a garden of the grand hotel, where Winterbourne is allegedly vacationing from his studies (an attachment to an older lady is rumoured). They are introduced by Randolph Miller, Daisy's nine-year-old brother. Randolph considers their hometown of Schenectady, New York, to be absolutely superior to all of Europe. Daisy, however, is absolutely delighted with the continent, especially the high society she wishes to enter.

A Really Interesting And Well Narrated Novella

I completely enjoyed this early novella of Henry James. The story is very well narrated. The language is, at times, slightly ornate, which makes this fine novella a slightly more complicated listening experience. I needed to give it my full attention. I read along simultaneously at many points. That is not meant as a criticism. Some listening experiences prove easier than others. Thank You…

I love this book
