Daisy Miller

Gülümser Ağırer translation,
Foreword by Henry James
With afterwords by Carol Onmann.
With author and period chronology.

Henry James, who closely examined the American woman figure who does not recognize the impositions of society and whose secret cannot be solved in his novels, depicted this subject with a unique elegance for the first time in Daisy Miller dated 1878. Daisy Miller, who travels in Europe with her family, amazes those around her. Frederick Winterbourne has a harder time than anyone else in solving her: Is this young girl unaware of etiquette, or is she deliberately subverting these rules? The story, which extends from Lake Geneva to the streets of Rome, reaches its climax in the Colosseum at midnight: Daisy, who establishes a close relationship with an Italian young man, will find herself trapped by the prices she avoids paying. This short novel, which made James famous in literary circles, was criticized on the grounds that it was a bad example for young girls. "He had such a subtle intelligence that it was not possible for any idea to corrupt him. While writing his novels, James resembles the notable French critic who wrote his own opinion; "Not even the essence of another parasitic idea can be read."
