亨利•詹姆斯（Henry James,1843—1916） 十九世纪继霍桑、麦尔维尔之后最伟大的美国小说家，也是美国乃至世界文学史上的大文豪。出生在纽约的亨利•詹姆斯长期旅居欧洲，对十九世纪末美国和欧洲的上层生活有细致入微的观察，因此其作品无一不涉及美国与欧洲在文化上的差异与冲突。代表作有长篇小说《一位女士的画像》《鸽翼》《使节》《金钵记》，中篇小说《黛西•米勒》《阿斯彭文稿》《螺丝在拧紧》等。此外还写了许多文学评论、游记、传记和剧本。他擅长描绘内心意识的微妙变化，被认为是心理分析小说的开创者之一，是二十世纪小说意识流写作技巧的先驱，对二十世纪崛起的现代派及后现代派文学有着非常巨大的影响。

The lives and relationships of Maggie Verver and her widowed American millionaire father, Adam, are changed and challenged by the beautiful and charming Charlotte Stant, who is the former lover of Maggie's husband, the impoverished Italian, Prince Amerigo. The narrative is underpinned by complex symbolism. The gilded crystal bowl with its almost invisible flaw is the vehicle which James uses to reveal past misdemeanours and make his characters face their own defects in this classic tale of redemption.
