New York had a strong influence on Henry James, who always remained attached to that city - where he was born and spent part of his childhood. The weight of this is felt in the pages of many of his texts, hence Colm Tóibín chose New York as a window from which to look at the work of James. The resulting selection, which includes several works never before translated into Spanish, such as A Masterpiece Story, A Premium Impressions, or Crawford Consistency, is a way of approaching or re-reading Henry James while addressing the universal city From a literary and enormously poetic point of view. To Tibin, these writings reveal, beyond the charm professed by that city, "a certain anger, an anger that resembles no other in James, which caused him all that he had lost and all that, in the name of progress , Had been made in that city he knew so well. It is not the understandable anger that could be felt before the destruction of something beautiful and familiar, but something more strange and complex, and therefore deserves great attention. Within the nine works that make up the book, there are five unpublished pieces and is a great opportunity to read both his most celebrated work, and other texts of no less quality, in a renewed translation. The following works of Henry James are included in this anthology: History of a masterpiece (unpublished), A case of the most extraordinary (unpublished), The coherence of Crawford (unpublished), An international episode, Washington Square, Impressions of a cousin (Unpublished), The cheerful corner, The old Cornelia (unpublished), and A round of visits. The edition is also accompanied by an editorial note and the prologue by Colm Tóibín.
