The Golden Bowl (Book 3): illustrated Edition

The Golden Bowl (Book 3) as you haven't seen it before -- in a remarkable illustrated edition.

In the dazzling salons of London’s elite, Maggie Verver basks in the glow of her new marriage to Prince Amerigo. Her father, the cultured and wealthy Adam Verver, continues to build his collection of artistic treasures, while her dearest friend, Charlotte Stant, remains ever at her side. To all appearances, life is perfect. But perfection, like the surface of a golden bowl, can be deceiving.

Unbeknownst to Maggie, the past refuses to stay buried. Charlotte and Amerigo share a history that neither of them can fully escape, and as circumstances bring them closer, their unspoken connection threatens the fragile world Maggie so dearly loves. They move in a delicate dance of furtive glances, unspoken words, and unacknowledged desires, careful never to let their secret rise to the surface—yet unable to truly let go.

Meanwhile, Adam Verver, ever the quiet observer, begins to sense that something in their perfect world is just slightly… off. But what will it take for the illusion to shatter? And when it does, will the pieces be pieced back together, or will the cracks remain forever visible?

In this gripping section of The Golden Bowl, Henry James masterfully tightens the web of deception and self-delusion, exploring how far people will go to preserve the life they believe they deserve—even when the truth lurks just beneath the surface.
