The Ambassadors

The Ambassadors is a 1903 novel by Henry James, originally
published as a serial in the North American Review. This dark comedy, one
of the masterpieces of James' final period, follows the trip of protagonist
Lewis Lambert Strether to Europe in pursuit of his widowed fiancée's supposedly
wayward son. Strether is to bring the young man back to the family business, but
he encounters unexpected complications. The third-person narrative is told
exclusively from Strether's point of view.
