Henry James is best known for his many brilliant novels, among them \u003ci\u003eThe Bostonians\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Ambassadors\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Wings of the Dove\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Bowl\u003c\/i\u003e, and his masterpiece, \u003ci\u003ePortrait of a Lady\u003c\/i\u003e. But he is deeply admired for his stories as well, which perhaps even more pointedly reveal the extraordinary subtleties of his art.\u003cbr\u003eThat art is nowhere more evident than in \"The Beast in the Jungle,\" regarded by many as James's greatest achievement in short fiction. It is a gripping portrait of a man alienated from life and love, haunted and obsessed by his fears. James's uncanny ability to communicate the inner lives of his characters is also richly evident in \"The Jolly Corner\" and \"The Altar of the Dead,\" two superbly crafted tales that explore the complex interlacings of loss, love, and the ever-present past in the lives of their protagonists. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiographical Note\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican author Henry James (1843-1916) spent most of his career in Europe and ultimately adopted British citizenship.
