"In The Turn of the Screw, a governess is haunted by ghosts from her young charges' past; Virginia Woolf said of this masterpiece of psychological ambiguity and suggestion, "We are afraid of something unnamed, of something, perhaps, in ourselves...Henry James...can still make us afraid of the dark."".

"In his rarely anthologized novella In the Cage, James brings his incomparable powers of observation to the story of a clever, rebellious heroine of Britain's lower middle class. Hortense Calisher, in her Introduction, calls it "a delicious story, the more so because it confounds what we expect from James.""--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description

Otra vuelta de tuerca está considerada la historia de fantasmas por antonomasia y un hito insoslayable en la historia de la literatura universal. Protagonizada por una joven institutriz al cuidado de dos niños en una mansión victoriana, a lo largo de la narración intervienen presencias y personajes tal vez sobrenaturales. La anterior institutriz y el sirviente murieron en extrañas circunstancias. ¿Cuál es el secreto que se oculta entre los muros de la mansión? Para descubrirlo, el autor nos conducirá magistralmente por los vericuetos de la historia en un sostenido e inquietante crescendo.
