The American

"The American" by Henry James follows Christopher Newman, a wealthy and confident American businessman, as he ventures to Europe seeking adventure and romance. In Paris, he becomes infatuated with the beautiful and enigmatic Claire de Cintré, a young widow from a noble French family. Driven by his passion, Newman pursues Claire despite her family's disapproval. As their relationship develops, cultural disparities, social expectations, and financial considerations complicate their love. Claire's aristocratic relatives, particularly her controlling mother, present formidable obstacles, and Newman's American directness clashes with European subtleties.
