1. The Real Thing
2. The Beast in the Jungle
3. The Jolly Corner
The Real Thing is a short story by Henry James, first published in Black
and White magazine in 1892. This parable plays with the reality-illusion
dichotomy that fascinated James, especially in the later stages of his
career. For the painter who narrates the story, the genuine article
proves all too useless for artistic purposes. The story vividly portrays
the unfortunate victims of illusion's occasional tendency to become more
real than reality.
The Beast in the Jungle is a 1903 novella by Henry James, first
published as part of the collection, The Better Sort. Almost universally
considered one of James' finest short narratives, this story treats
appropriately universal themes: loneliness, fate, love and death. The
parable of John Marcher and his peculiar destiny has spoken to many
readers who have speculated on the worth and meaning of human life.
The Jolly Corner is a short story by Henry James first published in The
English Review in December, 1908. One of James' very best ghost stories,
The Jolly Corner describes the adventures of Spencer Brydon as he prowls
the now-empty New York house where he grew up. He encounters a
"sensation more complex than had ever before found itself consistent
with sanity."
