Hardback: without DJ probably as published. The Tragic Muse was first published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly in 1889-1890 and then as a book in 1890. This wide, cheerful panorama of English life follows the fortunes of two would-be artists: Nick Dormer, who throws over a political career in his efforts to become a painter, and Miriam Rooth, an actress striving for artistic and commercial success. A cast of supporting characters help and hinder their pursuits. The book reflects his lifelong fascination with the theaterand his ambivalent attitude towards theatrical people. Miriam Rooth is a magnificent creation, and the reader can't help but admire her tireless energy as she perfects her talent and earns great success. But James hardly portrays her as a saint, as he never minimizes her faults. Critics have generally applauded Miriam Rooth as one of James' liveliest creations. In the preface to the New York Edition text of the novel, James expressed his regret that he hadn't succeeded completely with her counterpart, Nick Dormer. The ambivalent politician turned painter does suffer in comparison with the radiant Miriam, but his dilemma is still interesting and sharply drawn. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 619 pages.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Sixth Impression. Hardback Translated from the German by Richard Graves. Introduction by Peter Fleming. On this expedition to Nanga Parbat I succumbed to the magic of the Himalayas. The beauty of these gigantic mountains, the immensity of the lands on which they look down, the strangeness of the people of India - all these worked on my mind like a spell. Since then many years have passed, but I have never been able to cut loose from Asia. How all this came about, and what it led to, I shall try to describe in this book, and as I have no experience as an author I shall content myself with the unadorned facts book very good.
