The Outcry. E-book. Formato EPUB. &quot;The Outcry&quot;, Henry James&#39;s final novel, is an effervescent comedy of money and manners. A popular success in its own day, but long unavailable since and now almost unknown, &quot;The Outcry&quot; is one of the most surprising and amusing of James&#39;s works. Here he explores questions of privilege and initiative, repute and honour, high art and base calculation, revisiting some of his favourite themes with a deft and winning touch.<br /><br />Breckenridge Bender, a very rich American with a distinct resemblance to J.P. Morgan, arrives in England with the purpose of acquiring some very great art; he is directed to Dedborough, the estate of the debt-ridden Lord Theign. But plutocrat and aristocrat come into unexpected conflict when a young connoisseur, out to establish his own reputation, declares a prize painting from the lord&#39;s collection to be in fact an even rarer, and pricier, work than had been thought.
