Penguin USA. 11/01/1996. 161 pgs. "The mere slim shade of an intelligent but presumptuous girl...a certain young woman affronting her destiny" is how Henry James describes his first perception of Isabel Archer, who grew into one of his most magnificent heroines. An American heiress newly arrived in Europe, Isabel does not look to a man to furnish her with her destiny; instead she desires, with grace and courage, to find it herself. Two eligible suitors approach her and are refused. She then becomes utterly captivated by the languid charms of Gilbert Osmond. To him, she represents a superior prize worth at least 70 thousand pounds; through him, she faces a tragic choice. The greatest of the novels of James's early period, PORTRAIT OF A LADY was deeply influenced by both Turgenev and George Eliot. Originally published at $10.95 You save 91% off the cover price!

Ten years have passed in the real world (and over 3000 years in the Land); having regained his strength, Lord Foul now afflicts the Land with the Sunbane, a force that warps the natural flow of seasons and life in the Land. In an attempt to secure Covenant's ring for himself, Lord Foul summons him back to the Land, inadvertently bringing along another person, Dr. Linden Avery.
