James Henry

autor

Evropané


Henry James (1843 - 1916) byl americko-britský spisovatel a mnozí ho považují za jednoho z největších romanopisců píšících v anglickém jazyce... Román ´Evropané´ byl zfilmován. Ve filmu The Europeans z roku 1979 z produkce Merchant Ivory Productions si hlavní roli Eugenie zahrála Lee Remicková, film získal šest nominací na ceny... Eugenie, baronka rozvedená s německým princem, a její bohémský bratr Felix přijíždějí do Ameriky. Vychováni a kultivováni v Evropě se ovšem vracejí zcela bez prostředků, aby vyhledali své bohaté příbuzné. Eugenie si získá pozornost Roberta Actona, nejvhodnějšího nápadníka v okolí, a zároveň svede svého mladšího nevlastního bratrance Clifforda. Její cizokrajná šlechetnost a drzost všechny mate. Na druhou stranu Felixovy romantické způsoby namlouvání nacházejí u amerických žen pochopení. Jeho plány však komplikují jistá nedorozumění. Ve zmatku kulturních střetů a milostných trojúhelníků závisí osud Evropanů na jejich schopnosti přizpůsobit se. Tam, kam je jejich intriky zavedou, je to poslední místo, které očekávají.

What Maisie Knew (EN)

Portrét dámy


Isabel Archerová připomíná moderní postavu uvězněnou do staršího rámu. I po přestěhování do Evropy by si tato jiskrná mladá Američanka ráda uchovala možnost svobodné volby plynoucí z nemalé renty, a proto projevuje instinktivní touhu „uvidět, vyzkoušet, poznat“. To ji vychyluje z konvencí pozdního devatenáctého století a činí ještě neodolatelnější v očích těch, kdo v odhodlání svobodné dámy odmítající tradice spatřují kapitální úlovek. Oduševnělá, velkorysá, ale též naivní hrdinka váhá mezi nápadníky ztělesňovanými tu zámožným lordem, tu směšným panákem pronásledujícím ji až zpoza oceánu, ba i vážně churavým bratrancem. Všechny v zájmu vnitřního růstu zdvořile odmítá – a zároveň je ve své přímočarosti tak urputná, že předpokládá stejně čestné úmysly i od druhé strany, což nakonec vede k osudové chybě. Mistrovský román Henryho Jamese – známý i z filmového zpracování režisérky Jane Campionové s Nicole Kidmanovou a Johnem Malkovichem v hlavních rolích – vypráví o podlosti skryté hluboko vespod a o jizvách na celý život. Dílo vytvořené v kulisách benátské laguny, jež symbolizuje pokleslý Starý svět, však neustrnulo na frustracích zdánlivě nevinných Američanů bez řádné minulosti, jaké vylíčili autorovi krajané Hawthorne nebo Twain. Ohromující síla prózy pramení v procítěné jemnosti, s jejímž přispěním mág „dvojitě nabroušené ironie“ pozoruje utajené krajiny lidských pohnutek. Ve hře světel a stínů, dojmů a náznaků překračuje James meze dobového psychologického románu do té míry, že výsledek čtenáře uhrane i po sto letech od spisovatelova úmrtí.
