Roderick Hudson

By: Henry James

Narrated by: John Lescault

When impoverished American sculptor Roderick Hudson creates what is described as a work of genius, he is sent to Rome, where he becomes the talk of the city. But Roderick soon loses his inspiration and falls in love with a woman he'll never be with. Now on a path to self-destruction, can he be saved from himself?

One of Henry James' first novels, Roderick Hudson is a compelling depiction of an artist whose inflated ambition and temperament get the better of him.

Henry James rocks.

Gripping. Highly sensitive to the human condition. I love Henry James; so glad to have found a book of his that I hadn't yet read.
