Opis: The Turn of the Screw and The Aspern Papers - Henry James

Oscar Wilde called James’s chilling The Turn of the Screw ‘a most wonderful, lurid poisonous little tale’. It tells of a young governess sent to a country house to take charge of two orphans, Miles and Flora. Unsettled by a sense of intense evil within the house, she soon becomes obsessed with the belief that something malevolent is stalking the children in her care. Obsession of a more worldly variety lies at the heart of The Aspern Papers, the tale of a literary historian determined to get his hands on some letters written by a great poet – and prepared to use trickery and deception to achieve his aims. Both show James’s mastery of the short story and his genius for creating haunting atmosphere and unbearable tension.
